PDR · Paintless hail damage repair
The hail goes. The original paint stays.
Paintless dent repair for body shops, dealerships and fleets across Europe. The founder works on every job himself and, for large volumes, brings in a team of trusted technicians. Assessment, removal, repair and quality control with one point of contact.

Who we work for
Body shops, dealerships and fleets.
We work on your premises. If space is short, we set up a temporary work area nearby.
Body shops
Hail becomes revenue, not a bottleneck.
- For every car our team repairs, your body shop earns an agreed share of the PDR repair value.
- Parts, glass and paint stay fully invoiced by you.
- We handle the assessment and removal, so your staff stay on day-to-day work.
Dealerships and fleets
Hail on your lot? The cars go back on sale.
- On-site repair, with no need to move the cars.
- Factory paint preserved, so no loss of trade-in or resale value.
- Daily update on the cars that are ready.
- If a panel needs paint, we can coordinate that too.
Timing
Clear numbers before we start.
Each technician repairs 1 to 6 cars a day, depending on the damage. We size the team to the number of cars and your deadline.

| Light | ≈5 | ≈1,5 h |
| Medium | ≈3 | ≈2,5–3 h |

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum number of cars?
We take on jobs from 20 cars upwards. Below that we assess case by case, because travel costs weigh on the price per car.
How long does a job take?
It depends on the number of cars and the damage. Each technician repairs 1 to 6 cars a day: we size the team to your deadline and give you a date after the site visit.
Who works on the cars?
The founder is on site for every job. For large volumes he works with a team of trusted PDR technicians and fitters.
Do you handle the assessment with the insurer?
Yes. We work directly with the insurer's assessor and prepare a dent count with photos for every car.
Do you also remove and refit parts?
Yes. We remove and refit the parts needed to reach the dents: headliner, headlights, tail lights, trims, handles and seals.
What if the damage is too severe for PDR?
We flag it in the assessment. Parts and paint are handled by the body shop; if needed, we can coordinate them.
How does the body shop share work?
For every car our team repairs, the body shop receives an agreed percentage of the PDR repair value. Parts, paint and bodywork stay invoiced by the body shop.
Which languages can we speak?
English, French, Italian and Spanish, by phone, WhatsApp or email.
Which countries do you work in?
All over Europe, wherever hail has struck. So far in 25 cities across 8 countries: France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands.
