North Texas is one of the most hail-prone regions in the United States. Firebird Collision has been restoring hail-damaged vehicles across DFW for over 25 years. We use both Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) and conventional methods to return your vehicle to factory condition.

Walk around your vehicle and document all visible damage with photos and video. Check the hood, roof, trunk, and all body panels. Even small dents can affect your vehicle's structural integrity and resale value.
Call your insurance company within 24–48 hours of the storm. Most comprehensive policies cover hail damage. Get your claim number and ask about rental car coverage while your vehicle is being repaired.
Hail damage worsens over time. Exposed metal can rust, and dents can cause paint to crack and peel. The sooner you get repairs, the lower the total cost and the better the result.
You have the legal right to choose any licensed repair shop in Texas. Your insurance company cannot require you to use their preferred shop. Firebird Collision works with all major insurance carriers.
