ARLINGTON HAIL — SEPTEMBER 11, 2026.
Arlington hail event
A hail cell moved over Arlington today, with the heaviest reports in 76016, 76017, 76001 and 76013. The cell is still active as we publish this, and dispatch is routing pickups across the city right now.
North Texas spread
The same line put hail on 76006 and 76010 in the central and eastern parts of the city, plus surrounding North Texas ZIPs. Those areas are being added to the pickup route as calls come in.
If your vehicle took hail today, tell us where it was parked when you call. We photograph and document every panel before the claim goes in so your adjuster sees the full extent of the damage.
ARLINGTON HAIL — SEPTEMBER 11, 2026.
Arlington took hail today, September 11, 2026. South and southwest Arlington reported the heaviest impacts — 76016, 76017, 76001 and 76013 are generating the largest share of our call volume — and the same line put hail on 76006 and 76010 in the central and eastern parts of the city.
Documentation matters on a fresh strike. When you call, tell dispatch your ZIP and where the car was parked. We photograph every panel, log the dent counts, and give your insurer a clean record instead of a single vague estimate that gets short-paid or reopened later.
Arlington is our single busiest market in the Metroplex, and we staff it that way. We are not routing your car to a body shop queue in another county — we are running pickups inside Arlington while the storm response is active.
WHY ARLINGTON VEHICLES GET HIT SO OFTEN.
Arlington sits in the middle of the Metroplex hail corridor, between Fort Worth and Dallas along I-20 and I-30. Storms that organize on the dryline west of Tarrant County track east and are usually still at full strength when they cross Arlington. Cells that redevelop behind the main line — like the one that hit today — tend to fire over the same warm corridor, which is why Arlington absorbs so many of the Metroplex's hail reports.
Parking is the other factor. The Entertainment District around AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field is acres of open surface lot with almost no cover. Southwest Arlington and the Viridian and Interlochen areas are full of newer homes with two-car garages already holding three vehicles, so a truck or second car lives in the driveway year round. Apartment complexes along Green Oaks Boulevard and Cooper Street use uncovered lots. When a cell moves through on a weekday evening, most of Arlington's fleet is outdoors.
Add the UTA student population and the commuter traffic on SH-360 and I-20, and you have tens of thousands of vehicles sitting in the open during peak hail hours. The result shows up in our schedule every spring.
HOW OUR ARLINGTON STORM RESPONSE WORKS.
Call or text (469) 284-0336, or reserve a pickup on this page. We confirm your ZIP, ask what the car is, and give you a pickup window — same day where routing allows during an active event. A technician meets you at your home, your office, or wherever the vehicle is parked. There is no charge for the inspection and no charge for pickup or delivery.
The repair itself is paintless dent repair. We work each dent from behind the panel with specialty tools until the metal returns to its original shape. Your factory paint is never sanded, filled, or resprayed, which is why paintless work does not create the resale problems that a repaint does. Most hail cars run three to seven working days depending on dent count and panel access. Roof and hood damage on late-model vehicles with high-strength steel takes longer than the same dent count on an older door skin.
We are about thirty minutes from Arlington at our Dallas shop on LBJ Freeway, and you never have to make the drive. We bring the car back washed and detailed, and the repair carries a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the vehicle.

My car was hit in today's storm. How soon should I file?+
As soon as you can. Tell us when you call that your Arlington vehicle took hail on September 11, 2026. We photograph and document every panel before the claim goes in so your adjuster sees the full extent of the damage rather than a rough guess.
How fast can you pick up my car in Arlington?+
During an active storm response we run same-day pickups across Arlington where the route allows. 76016, 76017, 76001 and 76013 are the priority ZIPs from today's storm. Call (469) 284-0336 and dispatch will give you a window.
How long does hail repair take on an Arlington vehicle?+
Most hail cars take three to seven working days once they are in the shop. A light dent count on a few panels can be quicker; a roof, hood and both quarter panels on a late-model truck takes longer. We give you an honest timeline when we inspect the car.
Can all Arlington hail damage be fixed with paintless dent repair?+
Most of it can. Paintless dent repair works when the paint surface is intact and the metal is only deformed, which describes the large majority of hail damage we see in Arlington. Where a stone has cracked or chipped the paint, or where a panel is creased too sharply to reshape, that panel needs conventional refinishing and we will say so during the free inspection instead of promising something we cannot deliver.
Will a hail claim raise my insurance rates?+
Hail is a comprehensive, weather-related loss rather than an at-fault accident, and carriers treat it differently from a collision claim. Rate decisions belong to your insurer, so ask your agent directly about your policy. What we can tell you is that thousands of Arlington drivers are filing after today's cell.
Do I have to use the shop my insurance company recommends?+
No. In Texas you choose who repairs your vehicle. Your insurer can suggest a shop, but the decision is yours, and we work directly with every major carrier on Arlington claims so you are not stuck coordinating paperwork yourself.
Does paintless dent repair hurt my resale value?+
The opposite. Paintless repair keeps your original factory finish, which is what buyers and dealers look for. Repainted panels can be detected at trade-in and often cost you money. That matters in Arlington, where a lot of the vehicles we take in are late-model leases and trucks headed for resale.
Which Arlington ZIP codes are you working right now?+
76016, 76017, 76001 and 76013 took the heaviest hail today and are our top-priority pickup zones. 76006 and 76010 are in today's storm path and are being added to the route as calls come in. If your ZIP is not listed, we still come to you anywhere in Arlington.
Do you offer pickup and delivery in Arlington, or do I drive to Dallas?+
We pick up and deliver free anywhere in Arlington, from South Arlington and Dalworthington Gardens to the Entertainment District and East Arlington. Our shop is about thirty minutes away on LBJ Freeway, but you never have to make the drive.
What does hail repair cost in Arlington?+
It depends on dent count, panel count and how deep the dents are, which is why the inspection is free and comes before any number. We give you a written estimate after we look at the car, and on a claim we work the numbers directly with your carrier.
