What We Offer
Corrosion Prevention Treatments
Once the metal is clean, we seal it: specialized epoxy primers, rust inhibitors, and undercoatings lock out the moisture, salt, and oxygen that started the problem on Dallas vehicles.
Seamless Metal Fabrication
When panels aren't available - common on classics - our fabricators hand-shape custom metal patches that match Dallas vehicles' original contours exactly.
Complete Oxidation Removal
Painting over rust just hides it temporarily. Our approach for Dallas vehicles is to grind to bare metal, cut away corroded sections, and weld in fresh steel instead.
Our Process
From initial assessment to final inspection, here's what to expect when you bring your vehicle to Texas Five Star.
Thorough Inspection
We assess the visible rust on your Dallas vehicle and probe for hidden structural corrosion underneath paint bubbles or undercarriage components.
Eradication & Cutting
All oxidized metal comes out - surface rust is ground to bare steel, and deep rot is cut out entirely.
Welding & Shaping
We weld in new sheet metal with precision, then grind and shape it to restore the vehicle's exact factory body lines.
Sealing & Refinishing
The repair on your Dallas vehicle is sealed with epoxy primer to prevent future moisture intrusion, then color-matched, painted, and clear-coated.

“Getting into an accident was stressful enough for me, but the way Texas Five Star handled the repair process nearly made my stress disappear completely. They are a family-owned business that was so incredibly patient, welcoming, and kind throughout the entire process. I swear I called them a million times to ask questions, reschedule, and ask even more questions, and they sat with me through the entire process. Even when they were busy (which is completely understandable given how fantastic their service is), they returned my call within half an hour and consistently kept me updated with the repair process. I cannot recommend this place enough for all of your repair needs. Thank you so much for everything you guys have done! ☺️ ”

Rust Repair FAQ for Dallas Drivers
Is rust repair worth it on an older car?
In most cases, yes - rust spreads and weakens the metal over time, so addressing it early protects both the vehicle's structural integrity and its value. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether repair makes sense for your specific vehicle.
Why can't you just paint over rust?
Paint doesn't stop corrosion that's already underway - it just hides it temporarily while the rust continues spreading underneath. We grind or cut out the affected metal and weld in fresh steel so there's nothing left for the corrosion to come back to.
Do you repair rusted frames?
Yes. We use precision welding and our frame equipment to repair structural rust on Dallas vehicles, restoring the metal to factory-correct condition.
How long does rust repair take?
It depends on how extensive the corrosion is and whether custom metal fabrication is needed. We'll give you a specific timeline after a thorough inspection.
Do you offer a warranty on your work?
Yes — all of our paint and bodywork, including rust repair performed for Dallas customers, is backed by a 5-year paint warranty.
Do I have to use the body shop my insurance recommends?
No. In Texas, you have the right to choose your own repair shop — your insurance company cannot require you to use one of their recommended shops.
