# Free Hail Damage Estimate in Plano TX If your vehicle was caught in a Plano hailstorm, you need a written estimate before you can move forward with your insurance claim. VIP Hail Service provides free, no-obligation estimates to every Plano-area driver. ## What you get with our free estimate - **Written line-item breakdown** of every panel and dent - **Insurance-grade pricing** using Mitchell or Audatex (same as your adjuster) - **Photo documentation** of every damaged area - **Total repair cost** in plain English - **Timeline estimate** (how many days you'll be without your vehicle) - **Deductible breakdown** — your actual out-of-pocket cost - **Same-day delivery** to you and to your insurance company (with your permission) ## Three ways to get your estimate 1. **In person at our Plano shop** (typically 30 minutes) 2. **Mobile inspection at your home or office** in Plano, Frisco, Allen, McKinney 3. **Photo upload** through our website (good for light damage; we may follow up for in-person inspection) ## What to bring - Your vehicle (or detailed photos if remote) - Your insurance card and policy number (we file the claim for you) - The date and approximate time of the storm ## Why estimates from us are better than insurance "drive-throughs" Many insurance companies offer a "drive-through" estimate at their preferred shop or claims center. These are notoriously **under-estimated** because: - Lighting is usually poor (you can't see most hail dents in normal lighting) - They use a 5-minute walk-around instead of detailed panel inspection - They miss roof, hood, and trunk dents that require ladder or stand inspection - They skip the supplement process for hidden damage A proper PDR shop estimate is typically **30–60% higher** than insurance drive-throughs because we actually count every dent. That higher number is the real cost — and your insurance company is contractually obligated to pay it. ## Schedule your free Plano estimate [Book online](https://viphailservice.com/book) or call **(469) 313-6954**.
