Tejas Paint & Body opened its doors on Fort Worth Ave in 1981. More than four decades later, it’s still a family-run shop serving Oak Cliff and Dallas drivers with collision repair, hail damage repair and auto painting. We have one shop, at 615 Fort Worth Ave in Dallas, and everything we repair is repaired there.
Who is Tejas Paint & Body?
Tejas Paint & Body is a family-owned auto body shop in Dallas, Texas. We repair cars after accidents, hail storms, parking-lot scrapes and everyday wear. Our shop is on Fort Worth Ave, on the north edge of Oak Cliff, and we have been on the same street since 1981.
That is more than four decades in one place. Many of the drivers we work with live a few minutes away, and we plan to be here when they need us again. We keep the work simple: clear communication, careful repairs and a written warranty on our workmanship.
What we stand for
Honest estimates: We walk you through the damage, the price and the timeline before any work begins.
Work we stand behind: Every repair comes with our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
People you can talk to: You talk to the same person from estimate to pickup.
Why does being family-owned matter?
A family-owned shop answers to the people it works for. You are not passed between departments, and you are not handed a ticket number. You talk to the people who look at your car and who answer our phone.
We are part of this neighborhood. We want the drivers who pass our shop every day to trust us with their cars, and we earn that one repair at a time.
What do we repair?
We repair the damage Dallas drivers deal with most. Each service has its own page, so you can read the details before you call:
Collision repair: Structure, panels and paint after an accident. See collision repair.
Hail damage repair: We check every panel, document the damage and repair the dents. See hail damage repair.
Auto painting: Color-matched paint, from one panel to a full repaint. See auto painting.
Bumper repair: Cracked, scratched or loose bumpers repaired or replaced. See bumper repair.
Dent repair: Door dings and deeper creases repaired and refinished. See dent repair.
Fender repair: Dented or cracked fenders repaired or replaced. See fender repair.
Paintless dent repair: Small dents reshaped from behind when the paint is not cracked. See paintless dent repair.
Windshield repair: Chips repaired and damaged glass replaced. See windshield repair.
ADAS calibration: Cameras and sensors checked after repairs that affect them. See ADAS calibration.
Insurance claims: We talk to your adjuster and handle the paperwork. See insurance claims.
How does a repair work at Tejas?
Every repair follows the same four steps, whether it is a small ding or a larger collision:
1. Send photos: Text or upload a few photos of the damage. No visit needed to get started.
2. We call your insurer: We talk to the adjuster and handle the paperwork with you.
3. Repair + updates: We fix your car and keep you posted until it’s ready.
4. Pick up: Drive away with a repair backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Meet Xavier
Xavier is your point of contact at Tejas: he reviews your photos, talks to your insurer and follows your car until it’s back on the road. When you call, you reach someone who knows your repair.
Romero leads the team. You will talk to our team directly, from the first call to pickup.
How do we check our work?
Before any car leaves the shop, we check the repair under our hexagonal LED inspection lights. They show color differences, uneven texture and small flaws that are easy to miss in normal light. If we find something, we fix it before you pick up the keys.
Our technicians are PPG Certified, and we match your car’s original color and finish so the repair blends in with the rest of the car.
What does our warranty cover?
Every repair includes our written Limited Lifetime Warranty on our workmanship for as long as you own the car. If something is not right with a repair we did, bring it back and we will make it right.
We ask you to read the warranty details with your estimate, before any work begins. You can also read more on our warranty page.
Do we work with insurance companies?
Yes. If an insurance company is involved, we talk with your adjuster and handle the paperwork with you. We work with the major insurance companies, including Progressive, State Farm, Allstate, GEICO, USAA and Gainsco.
Texas law lets you choose your repair shop (Texas Insurance Code §1952.302). Your insurer can’t require you to use a specific shop. Pick the one you trust and we’ll work with them.
How do I get an estimate?
You can start with a few photos from your phone. Take them from different angles, and add one from a few steps back so we can see the whole area. Text them to (214) 698-0369 or use the estimate form on this site.
No visit is needed to get started. For some damage, we may ask to see the car in person before we confirm the final repair. The estimate is free*, and there is no obligation to book the repair.
Where is the shop?
Our shop is at 615 Fort Worth Ave, Dallas, TX 75208. It is just north of I-30, on Fort Worth Ave near West Commerce Street. From most of Oak Cliff, it is a short drive.
We do not have a separate location inside Oak Cliff or anywhere else. Every repair happens at this one shop.
Which areas do we serve?
We repair cars for drivers across Dallas and nearby cities. That includes Oak Cliff, Kessler Park, West Dallas, Trinity Groves, Downtown Dallas, Design District, Uptown, Highland Park, University Park, Cockrell Hill, Duncanville, Cedar Hill, DeSoto, Irving, Grand Prairie and Arlington.
Each area has its own page with directions to our shop, so you can see how to get here from where you live. Start with Oak Cliff or find yours on the home page.
When are we open?
We are open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and closed on weekends. You can call (214) 698-0369 during business hours, or email tejaspaintandbody@hotmail.com at any time. We reply during business hours, Monday to Friday.
What do customers say about us?
Our customers share their experience on Google. You can read their reviews to see what working with us is like, in their own words. We list the reviews on our home page, so you can read them before you decide.
What kind of damage do drivers bring to Tejas?
Most of our work comes from everyday driving. Drivers bring us fender benders, parking-lot scrapes, door dings, cracked bumpers and scratched or faded paint. North Texas also gets hail storms almost every spring, and hail damage is a regular part of our work.
Some jobs are small, and some involve structure, panels and paint together. Either way, we look at the damage first and explain what the repair involves.
What should I look for in a body shop?
A few questions help you compare shops. We are glad to answer each one:
Is the estimate clear? We walk you through the damage, the price and the timeline before any work begins.
Who handles the insurance? We talk with your adjuster and handle the paperwork with you.
How is the paint matched? Our technicians are PPG Certified, and we check the finish under LED inspection lights.
What happens if something is wrong? Our Limited Lifetime Warranty covers our workmanship.
Will I know where my car stands? We keep you posted until your car is ready.
What happens after I send photos?
We review your photos and tell you what we see. In some cases, we may ask to see the car in person before we confirm the final repair. You get the estimate before any work begins, and you decide how to move forward.
If insurance is involved, we talk with your adjuster from there. You do not have to carry the paperwork alone.
Can I call instead of sending photos?
Yes. Call (214) 698-0369 Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. You can also stop by the shop at 615 Fort Worth Ave. We would rather talk with you directly than leave you guessing about your repair.
Why choose a local body shop?
A local shop is close when you need it. You can drop by, ask a question or pick up your car without a long drive. For many of our customers, the shop is a few minutes from home or work.
A local shop also has a name to protect in the neighborhood. We have been on Fort Worth Ave since 1981, and we want you to feel comfortable sending your friends and family to us.
How do we keep you updated?
Repairs take time, and waiting without news is hard. We keep you posted until your car is ready. You can reach us by phone during business hours, and you can send photos or questions by text to (214) 698-0369.
If the repair plan changes, we talk with your adjuster and explain what changed, so you always know where your car stands.
