Quick Answer After every storm, half of DFW claims to be it — so skip the claims and use the five hail-specific measures no tent can fake: a documented dent count under PDR lighting (not a driveway eyeball), proven aluminum technique (the panels on most newer trucks), a fixed address that will still answer the phone in March, published hail pricing tiers you can check line by line, and a claims practice that documents supplements instead of hoping. Our scorecard on each is below — checkable without taking our word: 4.9★ across 500+ Google reviews, in Lewisville since 1978, with the first $1,000 of the deductible covered on qualifying hail repairs.

Hail is the one repair where the estimate is arithmetic — dents times rate, panel by panel — so how a company counts tells you everything. The real method is PDR lighting: angled light boards that make every dent cast a shadow, counted and written down panel by panel. A clipboard guess in a parking lot isn’t an estimate; it’s a fishing lure. Ours is free, documented, and done before you file, because [the count anchors the whole claim](https://dgcollision.com/answers/what-to-do-first-48-hours-after-hail/). Two: aluminum. Most newer trucks — every 2015+ F-150, the swing panels on 2019+ Silverados and Sierras — carry aluminum that work-hardens under repair and demands slow, warm technique. Ask any hail company which of your panels are aluminum and watch the answer; a company that doesn’t know is about to learn on your truck. The model-by-model maps live on our [F-150](https://dgcollision.com/f150-hail-damage-repair/) and [Silverado/Sierra](https://dgcollision.com/silverado-sierra-hail-damage-repair/) hail pages. Three: the March Test. DFW’s hail economy has two species: shops, and seasons. The tents that bloom after a storm write lifetime warranties that are really their-time warranties — valid until the signage comes down and the trucks roll to the next hailstorm. The test is one question: where do I bring a problem in March? Our answer has been the same since 1978: 693 Metro Park Cir #20, Lewisville, with a written lifetime warranty on everything except mechanical that means something because the building will still be here. The full tell-by-tell teardown of the storm-circuit playbook — including the paperwork traps — is in [the hail-scams guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/how-to-spot-hail-scams/). Four: published pricing. A company confident in its numbers prints them: our hail tiers run from $50–$150 per dent cash PDR to $5,000–$12,000 for the typical full-vehicle DFW claim, published in [the hail cost guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/hail-damage-repair-cost-dfw/) and on [the price sheet](https://dgcollision.com/pricing/) for line-by-line comparison against anyone. Five: the claims practice. The best hail repair in Texas still underdelivers if the claim is handled with hope instead of paper. The practice that pays: documented counts before the adjuster look, teardown photos, supplements filed with evidence, and the adjuster correspondence carried by the shop — receipts in our published [State Farm](https://dgcollision.com/guides/state-farm-claims-shop-report/) and [Progressive](https://dgcollision.com/guides/progressive-claims-shop-report/) claim reports. And the storm record itself matters: our [DFW storm log](https://dgcollision.com/hail-storms/) keeps the verified NWS report tables that pin your date of loss when a claim gets questioned. Money canon, in writing: the carrier pays the documented repair, your out-of-pocket is typically your deductible, once — we cover the first $1,000 on qualifying hail repairs — and a free loaner from the 50+ fleet keeps you driving. Apply all five measures to anybody, including us; §1952.301 makes the final pick yours, and a company that earns it on the measures doesn’t need to shout. Related Questions ## ASKED ALONGSIDE THIS ONE Are the hail repair tents after a storm legitimate? + A: Some are competent at steel-panel PDR; the structural problem is accountability, not skill — a warranty from a tent is a warranty from a company that will be in another state by spring. Texas law gives you a three-day cancellation right on contracts signed away from a merchant’s regular place of business, and the nine tells worth checking before signing anything live in [the scams guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/how-to-spot-hail-scams/). Does “best” mean the highest estimate or the lowest? + A: Neither — it means the documented estimate. A low number usually prices fewer dents than your car has; a high one without a panel-by-panel count is a guess wearing confidence. The count under lights is the honest middle: every dent on paper, priced from published tiers, checkable against the sheet before anyone commits to anything. Should I pick a hail specialist or a full body shop? + A: Hail rarely stays polite: storms that dent panels also crack paint, break glass, and bend trim — and pure-PDR outfits have to subcontract everything past the dent. A full collision shop with real PDR capability handles the whole claim under one roof and one warranty: dents by PDR where paint is intact, conventional repair where it isn’t, glass and calibration coordinated inside the same job. How fast should I decide after a storm? + A: Slower than the tents want, faster than forgetting: most carriers hold hail claims to about one year from the date of loss, so there’s no 48-hour panic — but evidence is freshest early, and the free documented count is worth getting before the first adjuster look.
