I live near Del Rio, Texas (about 150 miles west of San Antonio on the border) and we had a monster hail storm come through last night. Unfortunately my 996 was parked outside and now has extensive damage. The major things are hundreds of dents in the body and a nearly shattered windshield.
There are no businesses in Del Rio qualified to do the work that now needs to be done, so I was wondering if there as anybody in the San Antonio area that had a good repair shop they could recommend? Or if its even possible to do any paint-less dent removal on so many dents.
Any suggestions/help would sure be appreciated.

Sorry to hear. Same thing happened to me up here in DFW, after only 2 weeks of ownership. Find a Porsche certified dealership

and let them and your insurance company take care of it. I did and my 997.2S came back looking better than before...T

Have you tried leaving the car in bright sun as some of the dimples will pop. The two paint shops in San Antonio I would recommend would be Jack's Paint Place in Converse (out by Randolph AFB) or Pro Care which is now a Porsche authorized repair facility. See their ad on the Longhorn PCA website www.longhornpca.org
