Why PDR is Perfect for Repairing Hail Damage
Paintless dent repair (PDR) is the most trusted solution for automotive hail repair in Austin. It restores your vehicle without affecting the factory paint, which keeps your original panels and finish intact. For hail damaged vehicles, it’s the method most insurance companies prefer.
After Austin’s April 2021 hailstorm—which produced stones up to 2.5 inches in diameter—thousands of vehicles needed quick and cost-effective repairs. PDR became the clear solution due to its speed, affordability, and results without the need for parts or paint.
With no repainting, sanding, or body filler needed, PDR offers a clean fix. Swift Paintless Dent Repair specializes in this method, helping Austin residents return their vehicles to pre-storm condition in a matter of days.
Starting an Auto Hail Repair Claim After a Storm
Hail damage insurance claims work best when started early. After a hailstorm hits Austin, your first step should be contacting your insurance provider to open a claim. The sooner you get this process started, the faster repairs can begin. Once you’ve received a claim number, Swift Paintless Dent Repair takes over from there, helping you through the remaining steps to get your vehicle restored.
Our team works closely with both you and your insurance adjuster to ensure nothing is overlooked. We use industry-standard estimating software to log every dent by size, count, and location. Each panel is evaluated individually so we can provide an accurate, itemized breakdown of the hail damage. This ensures your claim is thorough and increases the chance of full approval without costly delays or denials.
After major hailstorms in Austin, many insurers set up temporary drive-through inspection sites. If you've already visited one, bring that initial estimate to us. We’ll compare it to our scan and submit a supplement for any damage they missed. Swift PDR’s role is to advocate for your complete repair—making sure the claim covers everything and that your vehicle is restored fully and properly the first time around.
Mapping Dents and Verifying Hail Damage Before the Repair
The next step in our process is identifying every dent your vehicle has. Our technicians begin with a complete walkaround, carefully scanning the vehicle from bumper to bumper. We use industry-grade light boards that cast shadows across the panels, revealing dents that are often invisible under standard lighting. Hail damage is usually shallow but widespread, especially across horizontal surfaces like the roof, hood, and trunk—areas that take the brunt of the storm.
Each dent is counted and logged individually, panel by panel. This stage is essential for two reasons: it forms the basis for our repair estimate and supports your insurance claim with hard data. The more thorough the damage documentation, the faster we can get your claim approved and schedule repairs.
We follow up with a second inspection using our full range of PDR tools. These help us determine the depth and spacing of each dent, which is critical in choosing the right repair method. Whether it's access-from-behind rod techniques or surface-level glue pulling, we match the method to the damage. In Austin, where hailstorms are common, this precision ensures a complete and lasting repair every time.
Once we’ve mapped out the hail damage, our technicians decide which PDR methods are ideal for each affected panel. If there’s access behind the dent, we use precision rods and metal bars to gently massage the dent back into shape. This internal pushing method is most effective on doors, hoods, and trunk areas where the backside of the panel is reachable. These repairs restore the metal to its original form without affecting the paint, maintaining the vehicle’s factory finish.
For harder-to-reach areas like roof rails, double-walled sections, or tight corners, we rely on glue-pull techniques. Small tabs are glued to the dent’s surface, lifted with dent lifters, and then released, pulling the dent outward without access from behind. Once the dent is raised, we use blending hammers and soft tap-down tools to smooth out any crowns or high points. Every vehicle in Austin goes through a final quality inspection to ensure all hail damage is removed and each panel is restored completely.

Precise Hail Repair Estimates Backed by Real Documentation
At Swift Paintless Dent Repair, we focus on writing clear, detailed estimates that simplify the insurance process. Each dent is counted and measured, and the method of repair is listed for every panel. This level of transparency helps avoid confusion with your insurance provider.
We also include supporting documentation, such as high-resolution photos and PDR light board scans. These visuals highlight dents that are difficult to see in normal lighting and help validate the scope of the damage. Adjusters rely on this evidence to approve claims without delay.
All estimates are prepared using industry-standard software trusted by major insurance companies. This ensures your claim is processed quickly and accurately. Our goal is to make hail damage repair in Austin as stress-free as possible, starting with a reliable estimate that’s easy to understand and ready for approval.
Getting started with Swift Paintless Dent Repair is simple and straightforward. You can begin by uploading clear photos of your hail-damaged vehicle through our website, or if you prefer, visit our Austin location for a hands-on inspection. Our trained technicians will carefully evaluate the damage, panel by panel, and walk you through the entire repair process. We’ll explain which PDR techniques will be used and how long the repairs will take. Then we’ll provide you with a detailed, insurance-ready quote. With Swift PDR, you’ll always know exactly what to expect—no surprises, just honest answers.
Certified Hail Dent Removal from Start to Finish
Once insurance approves the estimate, our certified PDR technicians begin the repair process without delay. We usually start with the most affected panels, such as the roof and hood, which often bear the brunt of Austin’s unpredictable hailstorms. From there, we move systematically to other areas like doors, fenders, and trunk panels, following the customized repair plan created during the inspection. Each dent is carefully addressed using the most appropriate method—either pushing from behind or pulling from the outside using glue tabs.
All repairs are performed using specialized paintless dent removal tools. There’s no grinding, no fillers, and no paint used at any point. Instead, we restore the metal to its original shape using gentle, controlled techniques that maintain the integrity of your factory finish. This method keeps your vehicle’s appearance as original as possible while also helping retain resale value—something traditional body shops can’t guarantee.
When repairs are complete, we conduct a final inspection on every panel using PDR lights. These tools highlight any remaining imperfections so our team can make adjustments before delivery. This level of attention is what sets Swift Paintless Dent Repair apart in Austin. We take pride in our precision, speed, and customer-first approach on every hail repair job.
