TYLER, Texas (KETK) – With severe weather season in East Texas, comes the threat of hail, and when a hailstorm rolls through it could leave car owners with damaged vehicles.

“It was horrible, it was like Bigfoot throwing boulders,” said Paulette Mann, a woman affected by recent storms.

The February hailstorm brought Haildent Headquarters to team up with 2-M Automotive in Tyler.

“The interest in paintless dent repair technology has been very significant, people are amazed at what we can do,” said Tony Cobos, owner and operator for Haildent Headquarters.

Mann said she thought her car was done for good, before finding this company.

“Oh girl, they wanted to total my car,” said Mann. “The hood was trashed. The roof it, was just beat all up. I cried when I saw it… But now she looks brand new and I owe it to these guys.”

Cobos said it’s all because of their paintless dent repair technology which allows them to fix one indentation at a time.

“We take off a panel like for example a hood, and we push from the under skin, we’ll push the dents back out, without cracking the paint, without having to repaint items, without any Bondo,” said Cobos.

“Our paintless dent repair technology enables customers to keep their original factory paint and you cannot even tell that the vehicle was hit in a hailstorm, it’s amazing technology,” said Cobos.
