Questions & Answers
All answersAutoSponsored
How much does it cost to repaint a car?
It depends on the vehicle's size, how much prep the body needs, and the paint you choose. Get written estimates and ask what's included: prep, coats, and the warranty.
Auto & InsuranceSponsored
Does insurance cover dent repair in Rockwall?
It depends on what caused the dent. Hail and other weather damage usually falls under comprehensive coverage; hitting something usually falls under collision. Your deductible applies either way.
Home & RoofingSponsored
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage to my roof?
Usually, yes. Most homeowners policies cover sudden storm damage like hail. Many Texas policies carry a separate wind and hail deductible, often a percentage of your home's coverage, so check yours before you file.
Auto & InsuranceSponsored
Do I have to take my car back to the dealer after a wreck?
No. Texas law lets you choose where your car is repaired, and your insurer can't require a particular shop. Get an estimate from the shop you trust and share it with your adjuster.
