Major hailstorm in Bulgaria
July 2014. A hail storm left behind massive damage after only a few minutes – Bulstrad helped with unconventional claims processing.
Unconventional. Bulstrad makes it possible to repair damaged cars quickly.
Sofia, 8 July 2014. At around 4 p.m., a severe hail storm moved over the city of Sofia and caused major damage, including damage to more than 300,000 cars. Repair garages were overwhelmed by the scale of the losses and waiting lists were correspondingly long. The employees of the Bulgarian VIG company Bulstrad took matters into their own hands to provide unconventional, but effective claims handling for their customers.
Hailstones. Devastating when this big.
An empty hall was rented where damaged cars were repaired by experts. The innovative paintless dent removal method was used to repair hail damage to bodywork. This method reduces the replacement parts, labour and painting needed compared to conventional methods and is therefore less expensive, faster and more environmentally friendly.
As a result, Bulgarian VIG employees once again showed their creativity and commitment to consistently provide a little more than the customer actually expects – while being friendlier, faster and more competent.
