Hail Repair in Aubrey, Texas (Insurance-Approved PDR)

Hail repair costs vary because every hail storm is different — but most insurance-approved hail repairs today range between $3,000 and $10,000+ depending on:

• size and depth of dents

• number of panels affected

• aluminum panels vs steel panels

• extra labor (R&I – remove and install trim, lights, headliner, etc.)

The advantage of PDR is we repair dents without repainting — which helps retain factory value and avoids lowering your resale / trade-in value.

There isn’t a single exact number because different insurance companies and different vehicles have different thresholds — but in general:

A vehicle usually gets “totaled” when the estimated repair cost exceeds 70% to 80% of the car’s current value.

Example:
If a car is valued at $12,000 and the hail repair estimate is around $9,000 or more — most carriers will likely move toward a total loss.

In most cases: Yes, it is worth it to file a hail claim.

Reason: hail is considered an Act of God — so it generally does NOT raise your insurance rates the same way “at-fault” accidents do.

Additional reasons to file:

• your policy is there specifically for events like hail

• small dents weaken the metal over time

• hail damage lowers your resale / trade-in value

• repairs can become far more expensive if you wait

Bottom line: If the hail storm left visible dents, it’s smart to file and get the maximum value out of the policy you’re already paying for.
