I don't really understand how a place as hot as Austin and Central Texas can get the number of hail storms that is does. I made the mistake once of claiming the damage on my insurance. Hail storms can often cause significant body damage to your automobile with a number of dents and dings which need paintless ding repair. A good way to remove dents is to take your car to a repair shop that specializes in paintless ding repair. Compared to replacing body paneling this can save you significant cash and can often be done without making a claim on your insurance. If you are looking to remove dents the real key is to make sure that there is no damage to the paint, as this usually requires more body work.

Another good use of paintless ding repair is just random day to day driving. I used to be terrified of shopping carts, but now with more flexible body paneling and paintless ding repair I can go to the big box stores and park close.

Of course your could try to remove dents yourself. I've seen some kits on TV and even tried it myself once. Big mistake…since then I just go ahead and take my car to a number of paintless ding repair shops in Austin. It's easier, often cheaper and a lot faster. They've all done a great job but you might want to check out Austin dent repair Trey did a great job getting the dents out of my new Altima.
