Hail Damage in FortWorth? Here’s What to Do Next

June 11, 2025

✅ Step 1: Document the Damage ASAP

Take clear photos of:

  • Dents on the hood, roof, and trunk

  • Damaged trim or cracked windows

  • Interior damage from broken glass or leaks

This will help with your insurance claim and give you a clear “before” snapshot for repair comparisons.

✅ Step 2: File Your Insurance Claim – But Don’t Rush to Their Recommended Shop

Most insurance companies will suggest large national chains like Caliber Collision, but here’s the truth: you have the legal right to choose your own repair shop.

At Excellence Auto Collision, we work with all major insurance companies, and we’ll:

  • Handle the claim paperwork for you

  • Fight to ensure your car is fully repaired, not patched

  • Keep you updated every step of the way

✅ Step 3: Consider Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

If the paint isn’t chipped or cracked, paintless dent repair is often the best fix for hail damage. It’s faster, less invasive, and often 100% covered by insurance.

We’ll inspect your car and tell you if PDR is possible—or if a full auto body repair and paint job is needed.

⚠️ Avoid These Common Hail Damage Mistakes:

❌ Waiting Too Long

Even minor hail dents can worsen over time or lead to rust if left untreated. Insurance claims also have time limits.

❌ Letting Your Insurance Choose the Shop

Their priority is cost savings. Yours should be safe, thorough, lasting repairs—not quick, cheap fixes.

❌ Accepting a “Cash-Out”

Insurers might offer a lowball payout upfront. Have us inspect the damage first—you may be entitled to a lot more.
