Local Context
Midlothian calls itself the 'Cement Capital of Texas' and sits at the gateway between Ellis County and southwest DFW with rapid master-planned growth.
Midlothian sat squarely under the April 2023 Ellis County supercell with widespread vehicle damage in Heritage and Lawson Farms. That kind of event drops a wave of AmFam comprehensive claims across Ellis County, and Max Exteriors PDR is the local shop handling them with PDR-first repair.
We work hail jobs across Heritage, Lawson Farms, Shiloh Forest, The Bluffs, Senior Estates, Hillcrest and the rest of Midlothian — mobile when we can, shop pickup when the damage warrants.
Filing Your Claim
Call (214) 399-9385 first. We'll inspect your Midlothian vehicle, document every hail dent, and prep the photo packet AmFam adjusters need to approve the file the first time.
We deliver a panel-by-panel paintless dent repair matrix with high-resolution photos — formatted exactly the way AmFam writes hail estimates in Ellis County.
American Family adjusters in Texas respond quickly to clean photo packets — we pair every estimate with a hail intensity map for the loss date to confirm storm cause. We file supplements for any hidden damage and keep you out of the back-and-forth entirely.
Your vehicle is restored with paintless dent repair that preserves factory paint. We bill AmFam directly — typical out-of-pocket: your $500–$1,000 comprehensive deductible and nothing more.

No. Hail damage is filed under comprehensive coverage as an Act of God claim in Texas. AmFam does not surcharge Midlothian policyholders for comprehensive claims.
Yes. PDR is the recognized standard for hail repair when the factory paint is intact. AmFam adjusters in Ellis County routinely write PDR estimates — and we provide the matrix and photos they expect.
In almost every case, only your deductible — typically $500–$1,000 comprehensive. The full hail repair cost on a Midlothian-sized hailstorm almost always exceeds the deductible by several thousand dollars.
AmFam's typical approval window is 5–10 business days after we submit a complete photo packet. The PDR repair itself usually takes 2–5 working days depending on hail count and panel access.
Texas law guarantees your right to choose any licensed shop — AmFam cannot require you to use a network shop. We're chosen by Midlothian drivers because we specialize in PDR rather than full-service collision, which is a better fit for hail damage where paint is intact.
Both. We run mobile PDR across Midlothian (Heritage, Lawson Farms, Shiloh Forest) for smaller claims, and offer free pickup and drop-off for larger hail claims that need shop equipment.
Free inspection, full AmFam claim handling, direct billing, lifetime warranty. Call Max Exteriors PDR — the Midlothian PDR shop AmFam policyholders trust.
*Out-of-pocket on most AmFam comprehensive hail claims is just your deductible.
