Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) That Keeps Your Factory Paint
Texas Five Star Paint & Body handles hail damage, door dings, crease dents, and bumper dents by working the metal back from behind the panel. No sanding, no filler, no repaint. Each repair starts with access through existing openings or by removing trim, lights, and liners, then uses reflection lighting to find every low spot and high spot.
Owner Esmaeil and manager Ali have fixed everything from a single door ding to full-vehicle hail damage across six panels. That hail job came back looking better than when the customer bought it, and the original paint stayed intact. The process works on steel and aluminum, including body lines and roof panels.
Because PDR preserves factory paint, there is no color mismatch, no overspray, and no risk of rust from sanded metal. Every repair is checked under multiple light angles before the car leaves the shop.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does paintless dent repair cost in Garland?
PDR cost depends on dent size, depth, location, and panel material. Single door dings are the most affordable, while full hail damage repair runs higher. Call (469) 583-7377 for a free estimate based on your specific dents.
- How long does paintless dent repair take?
A single door ding takes 30 minutes to an hour. Multiple dents on one panel take 1 to 3 hours. Full vehicle hail damage repair can take 1 to 5 days depending on dent count.
- Will paintless dent repair work on my dent?
PDR works if the paint is not cracked, the metal is not stretched, and the dent is not on a panel edge. Sharp creases or prior body filler usually require conventional bodywork. We inspect every dent before recommending a repair method.
- Can you fix hail damage without repainting my car?
Yes, most hail damage can be fully repaired with PDR if the paint is intact. Severe hail that stretches metal or cracks paint may need conventional repair on some panels. We fixed six panels of severe hail damage on a customer's car and it came back looking better than when she bought it.
- Will paintless dent repair affect my car's resale value?
PDR preserves the original factory paint, which maintains value better than repainting. There is no color mismatch or overspray risk, and the repair is often undetectable. That is a big reason customers choose PDR for lease returns and resale.
- Do you handle insurance claims for hail or dent repair?
Yes, we work directly with insurance companies on hail damage and collision dent claims. Bring your estimate and we handle the paperwork. We also help with deductible questions and supplement claims.
