Default Good place to repair hail damage?

I got some hail damage to my car last weekend (including broken windshield) and was wondering where a good place in the Austin area would be to get it repaired.

Thanks!

For the dents, I've used a place called Dentworks on burnet road, Trey did great work on my car. For the windshield I'm not sure,... for a general body/paint shop Rebreu on Kramer lane is good, I'm sure they can do a windshield. Also I think there are places that will come out to you and install your windshield... maybe Safelite? google these

if youre looking to get a windshield done, theres a shop/repair place at the bottom of Old Spicewood Springs Road and Yaupon right there on the corner and they do really good work for a pretty good price too, i cant remember the name of the shop but if you drive down there youll see it, its right next to a junkyard at the bottom of Yaupon

Yeah I've passed that place while driving spicewood springs road (for fun) ... I think it's called Ace auto glass repair or something. Yeah i found it on google maps - http://www.acediscountglass.net/productsservices.nxg

I've never used them so I can't vouch for them.

I had to go round and round with my insurance co. because all the glass they wanted to use did not have all the factory shading to cover the home link wires it was a nightmare. But they approved the suppliment yesterday so hopefully it will be ready next week sometime. It ended up costing $1100 for windshield and hatch glass.

Good to know.

I'm waiting to hear back from Trey for when he can schedule me to drop my car off (hail got me -- lightly, but it got me).

They are SWAMPED right now.

Woohoo finally got my car back. They did a good job on the body and paint. I had them put on a cf hood instead of replacing the factory and I'm not a big fan. Not sure yet but might have a brand new siebon hood for trade for a stock white one here soon.

What shop did you get your car fixed at? Any issues with the work they did?

I took it to protech overall they did a pretty good job. They matched the paint really well and they fixed my broken front bumber for free. There is a clear coat drip on the underside of my wing that they missed and i found one really light dent they missed so I might take it back up there if i have time but honestly I thinking I can sand down the drip and live with the dent being without a car for 2 weeks was horrible

never mind, Im not looking for an oem. As far as it looking to ricer, I think if you got a different cf hood beside oem it would flow better with your car since you have that body kit on.
