PDR Prices
What
to do first after hail damage?
The
first thing you need to do when your car is damaged by hail
is to contact your insurance agent. Agents get backed up
with claims the first few weeks after a hail storm, so the
sooner you contact them, the better chance you have to get
your vehicle in to Texas Dent Repair for prompt repair.
Do I need
an estimate from Texas Dent Repair for hail damage?
No. Texas Dent Repair.
will work directly off of your insurance estimate, and
directly with your insurer during the process of your hail
damage repair. This will save you time by not having to
duplicate the estimate process.
How do I know Texas Dent Repair prices are good?
Texas Dent
Repair has very fair prices and we will help pay your
deductible. In some cases you can get all your deductible
paid and fix your hail damage. If you have a $500.00
deductible and get your hail dents fixed for free, that's a
great deal! Contact Texas Dent Repair
today or call 325-864-9600.
How
does the insurance determine repair costs?
The
number of dents per panel and the size of dents per panel
determine the repair cost.
Will the
Paintless Dent Repair harm my vehicle's finish?
No.
PDR is preformed from the underside of the panel.
How will this affect my car's
value?
Paintless Dent Repair, or
PDR, when properly performed will allow you to get more for
your trade-in because it has not been repainted. This
can save you BIG money (about 20%) at trade-in. (A $20,000
vehicle could decrease in value as much as $4,000 when it
has been repainted).
How long will it take?
Same-day service is
possible on minor hail damage. Usually, 48-hour service is
to be expected. Heavily damaged vehicles could take up to 5
days.
Does
claiming hail damage on my insurance raise my insurance
rates?
No. Hail damage is
considered an "Act of God" and should not raise your
insurance premium.
How we do
it:
Paintless Dent Repair, or
PDR, involves accessing the backside of the damaged area
and, using specialized tools, "massaging" the metal back to
the original factory level. Yes, we can even access damage
behind and under braces and the like.
Will it
hurt my car's finish?
The
PDR process will not harm your vehicle's finish. PDR is
performed from the inside
of the panel.
How much
can I save using PDR over conventional body shop
repair?
You
can expect to save around 20% to 300% over conventional
painting methods on door
ding repairs.
What is
the estimate process like?
Estimates for door dings
only take a few minutes and are FREE!
We will assess the damage
and explain what we can do for you. You will receive a copy
of the estimate for your records, and you can bring it back
anytime and pay that price for that damage.
How
long does a repair take?
Most dents can be repaired
in about an hour or less. More extensive damage could take
a few hours. Many of our customers wait while their vehicle
is being repaired.
What does
it cost?
Average door dings (1/2
dollar size and smaller) run between $75 and $95. Larger
dents can go up from $95, but will always be less than
conventional body shop repairs.
Does
insurance cover door dings?
Because
door dings and dents can normally be repaired cheaper than
your deductible, there is no reason to use your
insurance.
Unlike a hail damage claim,
claiming door dings could cause your insurance rates to
increase (non-Act of God).
