    Why 10 Dents Outside Turn Into 100 Under Shop Lights

    Hail DamageInspection

    Why do you find way more dents under shop lights than what an adjuster or owner sees outside?

    Don explains how natural sunlight hides hail impacts. An adjuster holding a reflector panel outside might count 10 dents on a hood, but under specialized PDR lighting in a controlled booth, there are often 30 to 100+ dents.

    What is the exact customer journey and first step when my car gets hit by Texas hail?

    Don breaks down step one: don't panic. If dents are visible, immediately call your insurance company to file the claim, then bring the car straight to Dentcraft so Don can handle photos, estimates, and adjuster inspections on your behalf.

    Body Shop vs PDRSubcontracting

    Do collision body shops have their own PDR techs or do they subcontract them?

    Almost no conventional body shop has an in-house full-time paintless dent repair tech—they subcontract out to independent PDR specialists like Dentcraft. Coming straight to Don cuts out markup and middleman delays.

    Turnaround TimeInsurance Approval

    What is the turnaround time for hail damage and what controls the schedule?

    Repairs cannot legally start until the insurance carrier inspects and approves the estimate. That approval alone can take from 24 hours up to 30 days depending on the carrier and catastrophe volume.

    SupplementsInsurance Claims

    What is a supplement and will I have to pay out of pocket if the check is too small?

    Insurance field adjusters write low preliminary estimates because they lack shop lights. Don explains the supplement process: Dentcraft files supplementary claims directly with the insurer so you never pay the difference out of pocket.

    AluminumTesla

    Why do so many dent shops refuse aluminum panels, Teslas, and luxury cars?

    Aluminum has very different memory and requires much more force and precision than steel. While many shops 'kick panels' to traditional body shops for repainting, Don specializes in complex aluminum PDR on Teslas and luxury SUVs.

    How do I know if my dent is fixable with paintless dent repair?

    Don shares customer stories: some send a photo of a tiny door ding terrified it's ruined, while others send a completely crushed door asking if it can 'pop out'. PDR requires intact paint and metal that isn't stretched past its structural limit.

    Trade-In TrapVehicle Value

    Should I trade in my hail-damaged car with the insurance check in hand?

    The #1 mistake Texas drivers make: taking an insurance check ($3,000) straight to a dealership with hail damage on the car. Dealerships deduct $6,000–$8,000 off trade-in value, rolling that loss into your new loan. Getting it repaired first protects thousands in equity.

    Why shouldn't I hire the out-of-town hail repair crews knocking on doors?

    After Texas hail storms, out-of-state crews flood North Texas offering free deductibles and big promises. Once storm season ends they disappear, leaving car owners stranded when poor repairs fail. Dentcraft has been in McKinney for 15 years.

    What is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)?

    Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a specialized method of removing minor dents, door dings, and hail damage from a vehicle's body without altering the original factory paint. Using custom tools, technicians gently massage the metal back into its original shape from behind the panel.

    Who is this for?

    PDR is ideal for vehicle owners in McKinney, Allen, Plano, and Frisco who have experienced hail damage, parking lot door dings, or minor collisions where the paint is not cracked or severely scratched. It's perfect for those who want a fast, cost-effective repair while maintaining their vehicle's resale value.

    PDR vs Traditional Body Shop

    Time

    PDR takes hours to a few days. Body shops often take weeks.

    Cost

    PDR is typically much more affordable since there are no material costs for paint, filler, or replacement panels.

    Result

    PDR keeps your original factory paint intact. Body shops require repainting which may not match perfectly and can lower resale value.

    Hail Damage

    Fast, paintless dent removal for hail-damaged panels—special tools restore metal shape and preserve factory finish.

    Door Dings

    Door-ding repair quickly removes creases and dings without paint, preserving value and avoiding expensive bodywork.
