Hail damage can range from a handful of small dents to dozens of dents across the hood, roof, trunk, and side panels. Lone Star Paint & Body provides hail damage repair in Lewisville using paintless dent repair when the dents are suitable and conventional body or paint repair when they are not.
The repair plan depends on the number and severity of the dents, the condition of the paint, the affected panels, and whether glass, trim, or other vehicle components were also damaged.
Some vehicles can be repaired almost entirely with PDR. Others need a combination of dent repair, conventional body work, panel replacement, paint refinishing, glass work, or trim replacement. That is why a hail repair should start with the actual damage rather than assuming one repair method will fit every vehicle.
Large exposed panels can collect many hail dents. PDR may be appropriate when the paint remains intact and the dents are suitable.
Side-panel hail damage can vary in access and complexity depending on the panel location and interior structure behind it.
Cracked, chipped, or otherwise damaged paint can require conventional body repair and refinishing rather than PDR alone.
Severe hail can also damage windshields, back glass, or other vehicle glass that may need separate repair or replacement.
Exterior moldings, roof trim, lights, and other components can also be affected during a strong hailstorm.
One vehicle may need PDR on some panels and traditional body or paint work on others depending on the damage.
Paintless dent repair can be a strong option when the original paint is intact, the metal has not been damaged too severely, and the technician can access and reshape the affected area. It avoids the sanding, filler, primer, and repainting steps used in conventional body repair.
That distinction is important for the site as well as for customers. Our Paintless Dent Repair page explains the PDR process itself. This page focuses on the larger hail-repair decision, which can involve PDR, conventional body work, paint, glass, or a combination of services.
Every storm-damaged vehicle is different, but the repair process generally moves through evaluation, repair planning, insurance documentation when applicable, and the actual repair work.
The vehicle is reviewed for dents, paint damage, glass damage, trim issues, and other storm-related concerns.
The dent size, depth, location, paint condition, and panel access are evaluated to determine where PDR may be appropriate.
Panels with damaged paint, severe dents, or other issues may need traditional body repair, replacement, or refinishing.
If the hail damage is part of an insurance claim, repair estimates, photos, supplements, and other repair-related documentation can be provided as needed.
The PDR, body work, refinishing, and related repairs are completed according to the final repair plan and reviewed before delivery.
Hail repairs are often connected to an insurance claim, but coverage depends on the policy and claim. The first insurer estimate may also change if additional damage is documented or the final repair method differs from the initial estimate.
Lone Star can provide repair-related estimates, photos, documentation, and supplement information when insurance is involved. For more detail about estimates and repair documentation, visit our Insurance Claim Assistance page.
