Single-dent pricing (out of pocket)
- Dime-sized (under ½"): $75 – $125
- Quarter-sized (½" – 1"): $125 – $200
- Half-dollar (1" – 2"): $200 – $350
- Larger or creased: $350 – $600+
Hail damage pricing (multi-dent)
Hail estimates aren't priced per dent — they're priced per panel, by dent density (light/medium/heavy/severe). A typical Dallas hail estimate for a sedan with moderate damage runs $2,500–$5,500. Severe damage on a full-size truck can reach $8,000–$15,000.
Why the range is so wide
Three factors drive cost: panel access (roofs cost more than hoods), aluminum vs steel (aluminum is slower), and whether trim, glass, or headliner R&I is needed. Most shops include R&I in the estimate.
What insurance pays
If you carry comprehensive coverage, hail damage is covered minus your deductible. A $5,000 repair with a $500 deductible costs you $500 — and many Dallas PDR shops offer deductible assistance that effectively brings that to $0.
Watch out for "$25 a dent" ads
That's a marketing hook. By the time access, trim removal, and finishing are factored in, real Dallas pricing lands in the ranges above. If a quote seems too good to be true, it usually means corners are about to be cut.
How to lock in the best price
Get one written estimate from a PDR-only shop (not a body shop subcontracting it out). PDR specialists work faster and price tighter because hail is their entire business.
