Full-Service Hail Repair Body Shop Austin

Auto Body Paintless Dent Repair – Complete Hail Repair in Austin

The Superior Dent Solutions Paintless Dent Repair FIRST Approach

Superior Dent Solutions opened its doors in 2016 as a specialty paintless dent repair shop specializing in auto hail repair.

In March 2024, Superior Dent Solutions added a full line of auto body repair services to its list of in-house dent repair capabilities. As a ‘paintless dent repair first’ shop, we only resort to auto body repair services when they are essential.

Before, PDR technicians were forced to subcontract the necessary auto body work to auto body shops in Austin, TX. This was a viable solution in the past, as auto hail damage could be repaired nearly 90% of the time with paintless dent repair only. Today, damaging hail storms in Austin have increased in severity & occurrence. What does this mean? Instead of just dents & dings, we are seeing vehicles that have broken and sometimes shattered windshields, large dents with paint damage, and car panels with such severe damage that they need a total replacement

As weather patterns have changed, so has the definition of auto hail repair. So have we.

PDR + Auto Body & Paint vs Auto Body Shop + PDR Services

What’s the difference?

Paintless Dent Repair + Auto Body & Paint Shop

Superior Dent Solutions fits into the repair shop’s paintless dent repair + auto body & paint category.

This concept is relatively new, so you won’t find too many of us in Austin, TX. Our technicians mainly consist of paintless dent repair technicians, as auto hail repair is our specialty.

We have added auto body repair, scratch repair, auto body paint, and extensive dent repair to our list of services, so we do not target vehicles that have been damaged in an automobile accident, fender benders, scratch repair, or paint jobs.

Our list of auto body repair services is only offered when a vehicle with hail damage in Austin can not be 100% repaired with paintless dent repair.

This does not mean that our Austin auto body repair services are not top-notch or comparable with those of other Austin auto body shops; it simply means that we do not have to outsource auto body work to another shop.

We have done this to save our customers money, repair turnaround times, and multiple engagements with their insurance company during the auto hail claims process. Selfishly, it saves us from a major logistical nightmare.

Auto Body Shop + Paintless Dent Repair Services

Most of your Austin auto body and dealership repair shops fit this category. We know this because when a significant hail storm hits Austin, we get many of THEIR hail-damaged cars into our shop for repairs.

An auto body repair shop service list typically includes the following:

  • Repair dented, chipped or smashed bumpers and panels;
  • Straighten bent doors, fenders, quarters, and bedsides;
  • Replace windshields, headlight assemblies and mirrors;
  • Remove scratches from exterior paint.

As anyone in Austin, TX knows, hail occurrences have become more frequent and have increased the severity of vehicle damage. As a result, Austin auto body shops have added paintless dent repair to their service list.

This is how most auto body & car dealership repair shops handle paintless dent repair when they want to make additional money during hail season.

  • They hire a temporary paintless dent repair technician to their staff.
  • They add a tent to their location that offers PDR services.
  • They outsource auto hail repair work to an Austin paintless dent repair shop.

We are NOT implying that this degrades the quality of service that an auto body shop can provide for auto hail repair, we are simply informing you about how it works. If you want a quality auto body repair if your vehicle was damaged in a car accident or collision, call a local Austin auto body shop.

Hail Repair Austin Plus Auto Body & Paint

Full-Service Auto Hail Repair Austin, TX

New Location, More Services, 100% Hail Repair Facility

Superior Dent Solutions is excited to announce the opening of their new & improved BIGGER paintless dent repair facility.

Since 2016, SDS owners AJ Ahmed and Stephen Mannino have been repairing hail-damaged cars using the paintless dent repair technique. Although their primary location is in the Austin, TX, area, they spend nearly 65% of their time working in other hard-hitting hail cities throughout the United States. This is a common practice for paintless dent repair shops specializing in auto hail repair.

From Hail Chasing to Full-Service Auto Hail Repair Shop in ATX

In 2022, the Superior Dent Repair team decided to trade in their traveling hail catastrophe repair services for a more permanent business model, providing auto hail repair only in Austin, TX. The final decision was made shortly after the severe thunderstorms that hit the Austin area on Sept. 24, 2023, a hail storm that resulted in over $600 million dollars in roof & auto hail damage. Large hail stones, some estimated to be the size of baseballs and softballs, moved beyond the scope of what paintless dent repair could restore and required auto body & paint restoration. Some vehicles were even classified as a ‘total loss.’

The PDR team functioned out of a 6,000-square-foot warehouse that suited all the paintless dent repair requirements but struggled with any auto body, paint, and glass repair/replacement outsourcing work required for 100% restoration. This was a scheduling nightmare for the Superior Dent Repair team and an inconvenience for their Austin auto hail repair customers.

Mother Nature Changes the Austin Paintless Dent Repair Industry

Increased Hail Storm Severity Equals Increased Auto Hail Damage Severity

Fantastic customer service requirements in the paintless dent repair industry in Austin, TX, have evolved in the last few years. With global warming comes increased storm damage severity and storm occurrences. Not too long ago, a hail-damaged vehicle in Austin could be restored to ‘like new’ condition with paintless dent repair alone. Today, over half of the cars with hail damage require paintless dent removal, paint repair, body damage work, glass replacement, and panel replacement.

In the aftermath of the September 2023 hail occurrence in Austin, Superior Dent Solutions owners decided it was time for an upgrade. The new business model would include a much bigger paintless dent repair facility and the addition of an in-house auto body repair and painting team to accommodate ALL of the services required to restore a hail-damaged vehicle to its original condition.

Superior Dent Solutions’ new & much improved 10,800-square foot state-of-the-art paintless dent repair plus auto body and paint facility is NOW OPEN and located at 115 Holmes Rd., Liberty Hill, TX 78642.

The new location offers a COMPLETE auto hail repair solution for all of Austin ATX & surrounding cities.

Austin Auto hail repair services include:

  • Paintless Dent Repair
  • Auto body repair
  • Auto body paint & scratch repair
  • Large dent repair

Additional offerings:

  • Home hail damage inspections
  • Hail claims assistance
  • Paid deductible on auto hail repair
  • Vehicle pick-up & delivery
  • Valet service
  • Car detail with repair
  • Lifetime warranty

Press Release: Superior Dent Solutions Relocates To New & Larger Facility, Adds Auto Body

Climate change is increasing the size of hailstones & redefining the typical auto hail repair in Austin, Texas. Superior Dent Solutions answers the call.

AJ Ahmed & Stephen Mannino, owners of Superior Dent Solutions, are proud to announce that due to their remarkable growth in the ATX area, they are moving to a newer & bigger location on March 1, 2024. The new address is 115 Holmes Rd., Liberty Hill, TX 78642, and the building is nearly double the size of their previous shop located at 10355 TX-29, Liberty Hill, TX.

Hail is causing more damage in a larger swath of Texas. The increase in hail damage is partly due to the population increase along the Interstate 35 corridor between Central and North Texas, where hail is prevalent. Another contributing factor is anthropogenic warming. Some areas, such as Texas, are experiencing an increase in hailstorms and more damaging hail. Larger hail stones and more hail occurrences are causing damage beyond the scope of paintless dent repair. Shattered windshields, paint damage, and excessive panel damage require a more traditional auto body shop repair approach.

Superior Dent Solutions is a paintless dent repair facility specializing in auto hail repair. The new shop spans over 10,800 square feet. This expansion has allowed them the space to house new equipment to facilitate an all-encompassing auto hail repair experience in one location, including auto body and paint, scratch removal, minor collision repair, and large dent repair.

The new building will also allow the business to add to its in-house fleet of customer loaner vehicles, add paintless dent repair technicians, and service more cars while reducing cycle time.

Despite moving to a new location, Superior Dent Solutions will continue to primarily be a paintless dent repair first facility. “The heart of the business maintains its paintless dent repair first approach to hail repair,” said co-owner AJ Ahmed, “but with the severity of damage caused by last year’s storms forced us to outsource glass, paint, & auto body work. The expansion has allowed us to bring all of those services in-house.”

The fusion of paintless dent repair and auto body repair represents a significant milestone for the ATX area, bringing together expertise under one roof.

The partners expressed their commitment to customer satisfaction. “The expansion not only helps to increase our competitiveness in the auto hail repair market but also provides a better service to our customers,” Mannino emphasized.

With a legacy of excellence and a renewed commitment to serving the community, the newly revitalized automotive destination stands poised to meet the diverse needs of ATX residents for years to come.

Superior Dent Solutions prioritizes customer satisfaction and works for the customer, not the insurance company, to fix their vehicles correctly and safely.
