Pickups and SUVs take the brunt of Houston hail storms — large hoods, wide roofs, and tall beds mean more exposed surface area than a sedan.
A full-size pickup or SUV has significantly more flat, exposed sheet metal than a sedan — a wide hood, a full-length roof, and tall doors and bed sides all facing straight up during a hailstorm. That larger surface area usually means more total dents on a truck than on a smaller vehicle caught in the same storm.
Many modern trucks, including the Ford F-150, use aluminum body panels on the hood, doors, or bed to save weight. Aluminum behaves differently under a PDR tool than steel — it's softer in some ways and more prone to stress if pushed incorrectly, so it takes technicians with specific aluminum experience to repair it without stretching the metal. Our shop has that experience built in; ask our technicians about the panel material on your specific truck.
Bed rail caps, tonneau covers, and plastic trim pieces aren't part of a paintless dent repair — those get assessed separately since they're not sheet metal. If your truck has aftermarket parts installed, let us know before the inspection so we can note anything that falls outside a standard PDR scope.
A hail claim on a truck goes through the same comprehensive insurance process as any other vehicle — you pay your deductible, we handle the rest. Because trucks tend to have more total dents, the repair itself typically takes a bit longer than a sedan with the same size hail, but the workflow and paperwork are identical.
Often yes, simply because of surface area — a full-size truck's hood, roof, and bed sides give hail more flat panel to hit than a compact sedan has.
Yes. Aluminum requires different technique and tooling than steel, and our technicians have specific experience with aluminum-bodied trucks. We'll tell you upfront if a panel's damage is outside what PDR can safely correct.
Those aren't sheet metal, so they fall outside standard paintless dent repair. We'll assess them separately during your inspection and let you know what's involved if they were also damaged.
It depends on total dent count, which tends to run higher on trucks than sedans given the extra panel area. Most jobs finish in 1–5 business days; we'll give you a specific timeline after the inspection.
No — it's the same comprehensive hail claim process as any vehicle. You pay your deductible and we handle the rest of the claim directly with your insurer.
