Elgin is east of the primary I-35 storm corridor, so it gets fewer storms than cities like Round Rock or Georgetown. But eastward-tracking storms can still deliver damaging hail, and the area’s rural character means most vehicles park in the open.
Our Cedar Park location is about 40 minutes west via Highway 290 and Highway 183. We serve customers from Elgin, Bastrop, and the surrounding communities regularly.
Hail dents are often invisible under normal overhead lighting, especially on darker colors. If you were in an area that received hail, bring your vehicle in for a free assessment. Our LED inspection lighting reveals damage that you’d never see in your driveway.
Repair sooner rather than later. Each dent creates a paint stress point that degrades over time, and delaying an insurance claim can create complications. Shops also fill up fast after storms, so early scheduling gets you repaired quicker.
Elgin and eastern Bastrop County are right in the path of storm cells that push east out of Austin. When hail hits along Highway 290, Elgin residents feel it. Here are three recent hail damage repairs.
Duncan’s vehicle had about $9,500 in hail damage. The whole car was peppered, every panel affected. We mapped the damage under LED line boards and worked through it systematically with PDR rods, panel by panel. The roof took the most time since that’s where hail concentrates and the metal sits over reinforcement braces that limit tool access. We used a combination of rod angles and glue pulling to reach those restricted areas.
A body shop would have quoted weeks of work plus repainting every panel. We got it done in a fraction of the time with the factory paint fully intact.

Geoffrey’s daughter had a new 4Runner that got caught in a two-minute hail storm on Christmas Day. The damage was concentrated on the hood.
Esteban got them in the next day. The 4Runner’s hood has good access from underneath, so it was clean rod work from behind the panel. He used a whale tail tool to cover the broader dents and a pointed tip for the sharper impacts. Repaired quickly at a price that worked for them. Holiday timing doesn’t change the urgency for the customer.

AD and his wife watched golf ball-sized hail hit their Subaru Crosstrek. Hood, roof, sides, all damaged. The larger hail stones left deeper dents that required more aggressive rod work from behind each panel. We used a combination of sharp-tip rods for the deeper impacts and blending hammers to smooth the surrounding metal.
They were referred to us by family. We communicated throughout and had the car back to them in a few days. He mentioned he’s bringing his truck in next.
