What is paintless dent repair?
Paintless dent repair, often called PDR, removes many hail dents by reshaping the metal from behind the panel. The technician uses specialized tools instead of sanding, filling, and repainting. PDR fits dents where the paint is still intact. It is not the right fix for every dent. Cracked paint, torn metal, or a sharp crease may need a conventional repair.

What are NTX - Claims Services?
NTX - Claims Services is help understanding a hail damage insurance claim: what the photos show, what the repair involves, and what to expect from the process. It is not a promise that an insurer will approve or pay a claim. NTX Hail does not waive, rebate, or pay any part of your deductible.
What affects the cost of hail repair?
Cost follows the damage, not a flat city price. The main factors are how many panels were hit, how many dents are on each panel, how large those dents are, and whether the paint is broken. Glass, lights, and trim add work when they are damaged too. Paintless dent repair is often used when the paint is intact. If the paint is cracked, the repair can change. NTX Hail does not publish a single price because two vehicles from the same storm are rarely dented the same way.
Does insurance cover hail damage?
Hail damage is often covered under comprehensive coverage on an auto policy, not under collision. Whether your car is covered depends on your policy, your deductible, and the insurer's decision about the damage. A photo estimate from NTX Hail is our view of the repair. It is not an approval or a payment from your insurance company.
Can I choose my own repair shop in Texas?
In Texas, you generally choose who repairs your vehicle. An insurer may suggest a shop. A suggestion is not the same thing as a requirement that you use that shop. Read your policy and ask your insurer if you are unsure how your coverage works.
How does the photo estimate work?
Go to the photo estimate page and send clear photos of the vehicle and of each damaged panel: the hood, the roof, the trunk or tailgate, and both sides. Include glass if it is chipped or cracked. A technician replies within 2 business hours. That reply is an estimate from NTX Hail. It is not a promise of what insurance will pay.
How long does a hail repair take?
Once repair starts, many vehicles are finished in one to three business days. The range depends on how many dents there are and on the schedule. A car with light hail on one or two panels is a shorter job than a car with damage across the hood, roof, and both sides. The two-business-hour window is for the photo estimate reply, not for the repair appointment.
What should I check after a hail storm?
Look across each panel in daylight, not straight down in a dark garage. Check the hood from the front edge toward the windshield, the roof including the area above the doors, the trunk or tailgate, both sides, and the glass. Hail often leaves a field of shallow dents that are easy to miss until the light skims across the paint.
