In the case of heavy hail damage, in particular where it concerns a new superior class vehicle, it is often better to replace certain parts of the body – e.g. the bonnet – and treat the rest of the body with fix&save.

The components that have been removed as well as the packaging for the spare parts could often mean problems for the customer as well as additional costs for disposal – chiefly then when it concerns a larger amount of waste.

Hödlmayr can help there as well: We look after complete waste disposal
•  beginning with the metal parts,
•  waste paper and cardboard,
•  up to waste oil or lubricants.

Environmental Management, Hödlmayr Logistics GmbH was the first forwarding company in Austria to be awarded certification in accordance with ISO 14 001; this certification puts the company under obligation and at the same time guarantees a uniform system-process amongst other things when handling waste.


In the case of heavy hail damage it is often necessary to replace the bonnet. Dents in the roof or on the doors are rectified using the PDR-method.
