Auto hail damage repair in Denton, Texas

I am not a licensed public insurance adjuster and do not file or negotiate claims. Denton is in Denton County. Phone: 214-202-1855.

What happens when you call
I come to you in Denton, or you meet me in Roanoke, whichever suits. The inspection takes about ten minutes and I go over the vehicle panel by panel in proper light, because hail damage hides in reflections and a roof that looks clean from six feet away can have sixty dents in it. Then I tell you one of three things: there is not enough damage here to bother with, the damage is close to your deductible and here is the arithmetic, or there is real damage and you should file.
If you file, you go into it holding a written dent map and a line-by-line repair estimate. I can be at the vehicle when your adjuster inspects it, as your repair shop's estimator, and if the first estimate misses panels — which it often does, usually on the roof — I prepare the supplemental estimate for you to send. The full process is here.
