Why should you pick hhcc for hail repair near killeen tx?

See why we are your best choice for hail damage repair and paintless dent repair in the Killeen TX area! I'm sure you will not regret coming to Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings!


We are locally owned and operated.

You have a lot of options for hail damage repair in the Killeen area, but most people would like to hire someone that is from the area where they live. Our employees live in Harker Heights, Temple, Kempner, Belton, and Lampasas - all local! Before we moved our operation to Nolanville, our hail repair owners serviced the Central Texas area for over 15 years, with a stellar reputation.

There are plenty of hail repair companies that come and go, but we are a permanent fixture in our community.

We cover up to $500 of your hail damage. insurance deductible.

We know that insurance deductibles can be a royal pain in the butt, and we want to help you mitigate that cost by giving you $500 off of our labor to offset your out of pocket costs. This doesn't negate your claim - you will still need to claim this hail damage repair on your insurance under comprehensive repairs. We will work with your insurance company with what can be fixed by paintless dent repair (PDR), and what needs conventional auto body work (if any).



Our hail repair shop is fully climate-controlled.

Why does this matter to you, the client? Imagine you're working in terrible conditions - sweat pouring down your face, mosquitos buzzing your face, having to wipe down the car because sweat is dripping all over it.

Maybe a fan or swamp cooler nearby. It's over 100 degrees in the space you're working at in Killeen, or if you're lucky, in the 90s. Do you think that might affect the quality of work you're doing? I would think so!

At our shop, we have two five ton A/C units and a smaller mini-split to keep the space cool and dry. Our paintless dent repair (PDR) technicians are more efficient, happier, and faster. Your work will be less rushed and better.

A fully insured hail damage repair facility.

Is insurance important for hail damage repair? Of course it is! We don't want a mistake to ever happen, or any unfortunate circumstance, but in the rare event it happens, we are insured for several million dollars.

Locked, secured, and monitored.

Our property has a fully monitored security system, cameras all over the property monitored 24/7 by an external alarm company, minutes from the Nolanville police department. Even all of the glass on our property is protected by Huper Optik / Autobahn security film, meaning glass cannot be easily broken. Even if it is, the alarm sounds and the police are notified within seconds. Don't you want your vehicle to be secure while it's getting paintless dent repair / hail repair?


Available year-round, unlike fly-by-night hail repair companies.

As I mentioned above, we are from the area, we live in the area, and we are permanently located in Nolanville TX. Don't have time to file your insurance claim? Not an issue. We are still fixing hail repair cars from the Killeen - Copperas Cove - Harker Heights hail storm on Mother's Day 2024. We are still repairing cars from the Temple tornado and hail storm that occurred not long after. We aren't going anywhere. Where are all of the paintless dent repair tent facilities in Killeen TX? They're gone. What does that mean if you have an issue with a repair? We are all human - if we make a mistake, we are always here to fix it - they're not.

Lifetime warranty on our auto hail damage repair work.

Speaking of never going anywhere - we offer a lifetime warranty on all of our hail damage repair work, to include any assembly or disassembly of components required to fix the car using paintless dent repair.

Partnerships with local auto body repair shops.

Sometimes we need conventional auto body work rather than paintless dent repair, even though our goal is to never send your car to a body shop. But all of our body shops we work with are quality shops with warranties on their work - no fly-by-night repair facilities used to save a buck.

Insurance is a pain, let us guide you through the process.

All of us have been through this process personally, and can help you get through what can sometimes be an overwhelming process. From that same Mother's Day Hail Storm that hit Copperas Cove - Killeen - Harker Heights, my own two personal cars were damaged. One of them was totaled. We can shed some light on the insurance claim process.

Everyone here loves cars and trucks, and treats yours like they're ours.

We love cars here - all of us (or at least trucks). Our goal is always the best outcome for you with as little body work (or no body work) as possible. We will never fix your car halfway. We have some of the best paintless dent repair (PDR) and hail repair techs in the country, and it shows. Don't believe me? See our Google reviews.

We pay our hail repair techs well.

Much like the climate controlled facility, you might wonder why this matters when fixing your car. Everyone works better when they are paid appropriately. You might find a cheaper facility (if you're looking to repair door dings out of pocket, for example). When it comes to insurance you won't have to worry about cost. But you can know that we pay our hail repair techs extremely well - people are happy to come to work and fix your car. No disgruntled or frustrated employees here!

Changing a tesla cybertruck to black phantom red near killeen tx
By Matthew Jones March 29, 2025
Love them or hate them, the 2024 Cybertrucks are polarizing cars. At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we love ALL cars, especially when we get to install color change PPF on them! We have 120 different colors to choose from, and this Killeen area client picked Black Phantom Red from UPPF / Terminax with a 10 year warranty. We have Interstellar Chrome Blue on our minivan, Diamond Black on our loaner car, and have installed the Satin Black on a previous Tesla Cybertruck, and all are holding up great! Despite the abuse that my personal Kia Carnival takes as well as our Kia Forte loaner car, the film maintains a great level of hydrophobics - making the film (and cars) super easy to detail. Even the recent dust storms we had in the Copperas Cove - Killeen - Temple area came off fairly easily with just soap and water (and no scrubbing).

Should You Pay Out of Pocket for Hail Damage Repair in Killeen, TX?
By Matthew Jones March 27, 2025
Short answer? Probably not. Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, and Copperas Cove can get very expensive—very fast. Many people assume that fixing hail damage is a simple, low-cost process until they see the final repair bill. We often have customers who purchase a car with existing hail damage, thinking they’ll fix it later. But once they realize how labor-intensive and costly hail repair actually is, they start to rethink their decision. If you’re considering paying out of pocket for hail repair, let’s break down why it’s almost never a good idea and what alternatives are available.
The Hail Damage Repair Supplement Process in Killeen, TX (And Why We Don’t Provide Written Estima
By Matthew Jones March 27, 2025
Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, can be a frustrating process, especially when dealing with insurance claims and supplements. One of the longest parts of getting your vehicle repaired after a hailstorm is waiting for the insurance supplement approval—something many vehicle owners don’t realize upfront. If your car was caught in one of the recent hailstorms in Killeen, Copperas Cove, or Harker Heights, chances are your insurance company’s initial estimate was far too low. In fact, we can confidently say that 99.99% of all hail damage insurance estimates are underwritten or undervalued when first reported. So why does this happen, and how does the supplement process work? Let’s break it down.

By Matthew Jones March 26, 2025
There are cool trucks, and then there are legendary trucks—and this 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is one of the coolest we’ve had in the shop! This isn’t just any F-150; it’s a beastly, high-performance truck built for speed, style, and exclusivity. Given its limited production and custom modifications, this Shelby Super Snake required a fully custom paint protection film (PPF) installation. Since this isn’t an official Ford production model, pre-cut templates for PPF simply don’t exist—meaning this was an extensive custom job requiring precision and expertise. Here’s what we installed on this 2025 F-150 Shelby Super Snake: ✔ Custom-Cut PPF on the hood, fenders, mirrors, and front bumper. ✔ Five-year ceramic coating on the paint, plastics, wheels, and glass. ✔ Hand-cut precision work to accommodate the unique Shelby modifications. 📍 Located near Killeen, Copperas Cove, and Temple, TX?

At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we specialize in paintless dent repair (PDR) to restore vehicles damaged by hail storms, door dings, and minor dents, all while preserving the original factory paint.

If your car was hit by hail in Killeen, TX, or received a door ding in a Fort Cavazos parking lot, here’s everything you need to know about when PDR won’t be the best option for your repairs—and why.

If your vehicle was hammered by the massive hailstorm in Killeen and Harker Heights in May 2024, you might be wondering whether your hood, roof, or trunk needs to be replaced—or if it can be repaired with paintless dent repair (PDR).
