The Arlington, TX driver's choice for paintless dent & hail repair
Arlington and Mid-Cities drivers are stuck between Dallas and Fort Worth body shops — and most of the closer ones aren't PDR specialists. Driving 40 minutes to a real hail-specialist shop is worth it when the alternative is body filler and a repaint job that kills your resale value.
Whether you live in the Entertainment District, Lake Arlington, Pantego, Dalworthington Gardens, Viridian, and the UTA campus area, we make it effortless. Send us a couple of photos of the damage. We come back with a written quote, schedule a convenient pickup from your home or office, drop off a clean loaner car, and handle every detail of the insurance claim. You drive the loaner while we work. When it's done, we deliver your car back to Arlington — restored to factory-perfect condition.
Why drive past the body shops in Arlington?
There are body shops closer to you than our Plano location — but most of them aren't paintless dent specialists. They're general-purpose collision shops that handle hail and dent work by sanding, filling, and repainting. That process kills your factory finish and shows up on Carfax as collision-grade work.
DentPicks specializes in paintless dent repair (PDR), the same technique used by manufacturers and certified luxury dealers to preserve factory paint. Read more on our PDR services page, or see exactly how we handle hail repair claims.
Hail history in Arlington
Arlington sits in one of Tornado Alley's most volatile hail corridors. The May 2024 storm produced softball-sized hail across Lake Arlington and Pantego, totaling over 8,000 vehicles in a single afternoon. Most of those cars are still being repaired.
If your vehicle was caught in any of those storms — or you're just now noticing dents months later — we can still help. Most insurance policies allow hail claims well after the storm date, as long as the policy was active at the time. Bring your declarations page to your free inspection and we'll confirm what's covered.

Common questions from Arlington drivers
Is pickup really complimentary from Arlington?
On insurance-approved hail repairs, yes — we pick up and deliver anywhere in Arlington at no charge, including home, office, dealership, or airport. For door dings and other out-of-pocket PDR work, pickup is not included; those jobs are usually finished the same day at the shop, so ask us when you get your quote.
Do I get a rental car if I live in Arlington?
Yes. Every hail-repair customer gets a complimentary loaner for the entire repair window. We deliver it to you in Arlington when we pick up your damaged car.
How long is my car away from Arlington?
Most hail repairs are 5–10 business days. PDR-only jobs (single dents, dings) are often same-day. We'll give you a firm timeline at the quote.
Does my insurance cover hail damage in Arlington?
If you carry comprehensive coverage, yes. The hail claim itself is not surcharged in Texas — hail is treated as an act of nature, not driver fault — though insurers price on many other factors, so premiums can still move. Coverage depends on the language of your policy. Read more in our insurance guide.
