How Erie Hail Claims Work in Garland
Call Us Before You Open the Erie Claim
Call (214) 399-9385 first. We'll inspect your Garland vehicle, document every hail dent, and prep the photo packet Erie adjusters need to approve the file the first time.
Free, Erie-Ready PDR Estimate
We deliver a panel-by-panel paintless dent repair matrix with high-resolution photos — formatted exactly the way Erie writes hail estimates in Dallas County.
We Handle Erie Directly
Erie writes carefully — we provide a panel-by-panel hail count and a PDR matrix so the assigned adjuster can approve the file without a second inspection. We file supplements for any hidden damage and keep you out of the back-and-forth entirely.
PDR Repair + Direct Billing
Your vehicle is restored with paintless dent repair that preserves factory paint. We bill Erie directly — typical out-of-pocket: your $500–$1,000 comprehensive deductible and nothing more.
What Erie Comprehensive Covers in Garland
Garland's manufacturing fleets, Firewheel shopping traffic and dense apartment communities feed a constant stream of dent and hail jobs. For Erie policyholders specifically, that means a documented PDR estimate, a clean supplement when hidden damage shows up, and direct billing to Erie so you only ever cover your deductible.
Erie payout style: Two-party check to insured + shop; supplements processed inside the original claim.

Local Context
Hail in Garland, TX — and Why Erie Sees So Many Claims Here
Garland is one of Dallas County's largest cities, with Firewheel Town Center, a deep manufacturing base and a tight-knit historic downtown.
Garland took heavy hail in the June 2019 Dallas County storm that battered the Firewheel and Eastern Hills areas. That kind of event drops a wave of Erie comprehensive claims across Dallas County, and Max Exteriors PDR is the local shop handling them with PDR-first repair.
We work hail jobs across Firewheel, Downtown Garland, Eastern Hills, Camelot, Embree, South Garland and the rest of Garland — mobile when we can, shop pickup when the damage warrants.

Erie Hail Claim FAQs — Garland, TX
Will Erie Insurance raise my rates after a Garland hail claim?
No. Hail damage is filed under comprehensive coverage as an Act of God claim in Texas. Erie does not surcharge Garland policyholders for comprehensive claims.
Does Erie approve paintless dent repair?
Yes. PDR is the recognized standard for hail repair when the factory paint is intact. Erie adjusters in Dallas County routinely write PDR estimates — and we provide the matrix and photos they expect.
How much will I pay out-of-pocket on a Erie hail claim in Garland?
In almost every case, only your deductible — typically $500–$1,000 comprehensive. The full hail repair cost on a Garland-sized hailstorm almost always exceeds the deductible by several thousand dollars.
How long does a Erie hail claim take in Garland?
Erie'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.
Should I use a Erie network shop in Garland or Max Exteriors PDR?
Texas law guarantees your right to choose any licensed shop — Erie cannot require you to use a network shop. We're chosen by Garland drivers because we specialize in PDR rather than full-service collision, which is a better fit for hail damage where paint is intact.
Do you come to Garland, or do I bring the vehicle to Dallas?
Both. We run mobile PDR across Garland (Firewheel, Downtown Garland, Eastern Hills) for smaller claims, and offer free pickup and drop-off for larger hail claims that need shop equipment.
