Paintless dent repair across Europe

We go where the hail went.

Intertech Systems sends dent repair crews to wherever a storm has hit: dealership lots, fleet depots, insurers’ collection points and private driveways. The dents come out. The factory paint stays.

Based in Varna, working wherever hail hits

Hail follows the season. From May to September, severe storms run along the Alps, through the Po Valley and southern Germany, across Austria, France and the Danube basin. Our crews go where the damage is, anywhere in Europe.

How we get there: you give us the location and roughly how many cars were hit. A crew lead travels ahead to assess the damage, and the crew follows with vans, line lamps and tools, plus a repair tent when the job is big enough to need one.

As a company registered in the EU, we invoice in euro under EU VAT rules, and our crews and tools cross internal EU borders without customs paperwork.

Map of Europe with frequent hail regions Hail is most frequent in northern Italy, southern Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, southern France, north-east Spain, Hungary and along the lower Danube. Our base is in Varna on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria.

Frequent hail (simplified) Our base in Varna

Every dent shows up in the reflection

Hail dents are often too shallow to spot in daylight. Under bright, straight lights they can’t hide: a smooth panel reflects clean lines, and each dent breaks them. Drag across the bonnet to compare before and after.

The same bonnet after paintless repair: the workshop lights reflect as clean, straight lines. A hail-damaged bonnet before repair: the reflected workshop lights break up at hundreds of dents.

Dent repair tools laid out on a grey cloth on a car bonnet: long steel rods with bent tips, a nylon knockdown and hammer, glue-pull tabs, a glue gun, a mini lifter and a slide hammer.
Assessment under the lamp
Before anything is touched, each car is checked panel by panel under line lamps. You get a count of the dents and an honest view of what paintless repair can and can’t fix.
Rods from behind
Where the inside of a panel can be reached, long steel rods work the metal back up from underneath, in hundreds of small, controlled pushes.
Glue tabs from the front
Where there is no access, such as roof rails or double-skinned edges, tabs are glued to the paint and the dent is pulled out, then levelled with a knockdown.
Final check
Every car goes back under the lamp before it is handed over. No filler, no sanding, no respray: the factory paint and its corrosion protection stay as they were.

Where PDR won’t do the job: cracked or chipped paint, sharp creases on panel edges, and some heavily stretched aluminium. We say so at the assessment, before any work starts.

On the dealer’s lot, or in your driveway

Dealerships, fleets and leasing companies

We set up a temporary repair centre on your site, in a tent or a hall you provide, with our own lamps and tools, right next to the cars. Nothing has to be moved between workshops.

The crew is sized to the number of cars and your deadline, and one crew lead stays your contact from the first car to the last. You decide the order: sold cars and customer vehicles first, stock afterwards.

Report hail damage

Insurers and assessors

Every car is documented panel by panel: number and size of dents per panel, photos before and after, and the repair method used. That gives your assessor what they need for a hail calculation, and they are welcome on site at any stage of the job.

Direct invoicing to the insurer can be arranged when the policyholder agrees.

Report as insurer or assessor

Questions we hear after every storm

Which countries do you work in?

Anywhere in the European Union, with no paperwork at the borders. Outside the EU, for example in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Norway or the Western Balkans, we can work too, but crews and tools need customs documents, so allow a few extra days. Tell us the location and we’ll tell you when a crew can be there.

Will my insurance pay for the repair?

In most European countries hail is covered by comprehensive motor insurance, and often by partial cover as well (in Germany and Austria, Teilkasko and Vollkasko). Report the damage to your insurer first. We work with their assessor and can coordinate the paperwork with them.

How long does a repair take?

It depends on how many dents there are, how deep they are and which panels were hit. Light damage on one car can often be done within a day; a badly hit car can take several days. You get a firm estimate after the assessment.

Is paintless repair as good as a respray?

Where the paint is intact, it is usually the better repair. The original factory finish stays, there is no colour matching and no filler, and paint-thickness readings won’t flag the car as repaired when it is sold.

What if the paint is cracked?

Then paintless repair alone isn’t enough for that panel. We point it out at the assessment and say which panels need conventional bodywork, so you can plan for it.

Do you only take large jobs?

No. Dealerships and fleets make up most of our work, but private owners are welcome, especially when a crew is already working nearby.

Location, roughly how many vehicles, and the date of the storm are enough to start.
