Hail Damage Repair in Wylie After Spring Storms
Storms that build over Lake Lavon can drop hail on half of Wylie in ten minutes. Roofs, hoods and trunk lids usually take the worst of it.

Hail leaves dozens or hundreds of round dents across the horizontal panels of a car, mostly on the roof, hood and trunk lid. When the paint survives, which it often does, those dents are ideal for paintless dent repair, keeping the factory finish in place. Larger stones can crack paint, break glass or crease rails, and those areas need conventional repair and refinishing. Wylie sits right in North Texas hail country, so after every spring storm our phone lines get busy with drivers from Wylie, Sachse and Murphy. The first step is a detailed count and map of the damage, which is what your insurer will want to see. We'll explain your claim, what's covered under comprehensive, and how long the repair is likely to take.
What Our Hail Damage Repair Includes
Hail repair is mostly careful, repetitive work. Here's what it involves.
Damage count and mapping
Every dent on every panel is counted and sized under a light board, creating the record your insurer needs.
Insurance documentation
Photos and the dent map go with the estimate so the adjuster sees the full extent of the storm damage.
Paintless dent removal
Most hail dents are pushed out from behind the panel, keeping the original paint intact.
Headliner and trim access
Roof dents are reached by carefully lowering the headliner and removing trim, then reinstalling everything.
Conventional repair where needed
Dents with cracked paint or sharp creases are straightened, filled and refinished.
Panel replacement
A roof or hood with too many deep dents may be replaced when that's the better repair.
Glass and trim replacement
Cracked windshields, sunroofs, mirrors and moldings broken by hail are replaced.
Final light-board inspection
Each panel is checked again under the light board so no dent is missed.
How a Hail Repair Moves Along
- 1
Count and claim
We inspect the car under lights, count and map the dents and photograph each panel. The estimate goes to your insurer as a comprehensive claim. We'll walk you through the deductible and what's covered. This first visit usually takes about an hour.

Repair panel by panel
Technicians work through the roof, hood, trunk and other panels, mostly with paintless methods. Panels that need paint go to the booth. Glass and trim are ordered and installed. The time depends on how many dents there are, and we'll give you an honest estimate.

Recheck and deliver
Every panel goes back under the light board for a final check. Anything that isn't flat gets another pass. When the whole car reads clean, we call you to pick it up.
