It was a typical Saxon summer: a thunderstorm rolled in, and within minutes the sky turned into a hail cannon. When I later came back to my car, it looked like someone had shot it with a shotgun. Dents on the hood, the roof, the fenders — basically everywhere.
My first impulse?
Call the insurance company.
But then I remembered the horror stories about rising premiums and months of waiting at the body shop. So I looked for an alternative — and found Paintless Dent Repair (PDR). And I was impressed!
Why I chose PDR instead of insurance
I had two options:
- Involve the insurance — with a deductible, higher premiums, and weeks of waiting.
- Hire a local PDR expert — fast, affordable, and no paperwork.
I chose option 2. And here’s why:
✔ No repainting required — the original paint stays intact.
✔ Fast repair — in my case, everything was done in one day.
✔ Cheaper than going through insurance — I would have paid a €500 deductible — plus higher premiums.
✔ No workshop stress — the technician came directly to my home.
My conclusion: If the paint is intact, PDR is by far the better choice.
How I found the right PDR service in Saxony
I simply searched Google for “Dellenentfernung Sachsen” — and came across Dellentechnik Sachsen. Why did I choose them?
✅ Local experts — they know the typical hail damage in our region.
✅ Transparent pricing — no hidden fees, just a fair fixed price.
✅ Mobile on-site service — no body shop appointment needed, they come to you.
✅ Experience with hail damage — they showed me before/after photos of similar cases.
My tip: If you’re looking for a PDR service, check reviews and ask for references. With Dellentechnik Sachsen, I felt I was in good hands from the start.
What surprised me the most
To be honest, I was skeptical. How can a dent simply disappear — without repainting, without any traces? But when the technician was finished, my Golf looked like new again. No dents, no color differences — just perfect.
And the best part? The repair cost only a fraction of what the body shop would have charged.
Costs: What you should expect for hail damage repair

If your car is covered in dents after a hailstorm, you don’t necessarily have to contact your insurance right away. PDR is the faster, cheaper, and stress-free solution. I tried it — and I’m completely convinced.
