Our approach

We bring your car as close to original as possible

01

We try PDR first — even with damaged paint

PDR is our specialty. Even when the paint is broken, we can reshape the panel close to original — then the paint shop only needs to spray, with minimal filler. Only when the dent is too large or the metal is stretched beyond what PDR can recover do we move to classic bodywork. We always pick the option that best restores the original look.

02

More precise prep than classic bodywork

A classic panel-beater pulls the metal roughly and often judges the surface by feel — a slight wave shows only under paint and gets masked with filler. We level the panel precisely with PDR: less filler, the factory anti-corrosion coating preserved, a panel shape close to original, and cleaner, greener work. Ideal for exclusive and premium cars.

03

Complete exterior care in one place

PDR, washing, painting, bodywork, wraps and polishing — we cover the whole car exterior since 1998. No running between several firms: we assess the damage and choose the best way to bring the car as close to new as possible.

Mnohokrát děkuji za krásnou a rychlou práci při opravě promáčkliny. Pánové jsou naprosto profesionální, působí v hezkém novém prostředí. Komunikace je jednoduchá, práce kvalitní, nemohu je dost vynachválit. Pánové mě dokonce dovezli na nádraží na vlak, když jsem neměla jak se dostat zpátky do města. Až budu něco dalšího potřebovat, určitě se na GAR Service obrátím.

Jedno slovo: PERFEKTNÍ. Výborná - komunikace, -odhad času/ceny, -odvoz na metro, -odvedená práce. Jeden den v dílně a kufr je beze stop po promáčklině. Velká chvála šikovným rukám. Doporučuji!
Petr Solin4/2026
Velice moc děkuji za odvedenou práci. Páni jsou kouzelníci. Jejich práci můžu jen a jen doporučit. Ráno jsem auto přistavil a večer si ho opravené odvezl. Ještě jednou velké díky.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a body shop do and when is it needed?

It repairs deep defects through the paint, larger deformations with broken paint, full repaints (colour change) and post-accident repair (straightening + respray). When PDR isn't enough.

How much does painting cost?

Bumper respray from 3,500 CZK, a door from 5,000 CZK, a full repaint from 50,000 CZK (depending on paint type — metallics, pearls, multi-coat). We confirm the exact price for your case after an inspection.

How long does the body shop take?

Bumper/1 panel 2–3 days, several panels 5–7 days, the whole car 10–14 days. Vs. PDR within 24 hours, where applicable.

Does insurance cover the body shop?

Yes for an insured event. We deal with the insurer (Allianz, Generali, Kooperativa, ČPP, ČSOB…). Direct billing where possible — you pay only the excess.

Does painting void the manufacturer warranty?

Typically yes — the warranty on the original coating is voided in the repaired panel. So for leased and in-warranty cars we prefer PDR (where possible). The body shop only when truly needed (broken paint).

How much is a full repaint?

A panel respray from 3,500 CZK, a whole-car repaint from 50,000 CZK — depending on paint type (metallics, pearls, multi-coat). Orientation prices are in the interactive price list above.

Do you serve all of Prague?

Yes — body & paint shop for Prague 4, 5, 6, 9, 10 and beyond. We're based in Prague 9 and pick up / return your car for 500 CZK.

How exactly do you match the paint colour?

The partner shop mixes the colour by VIN and paint code with a test spray — the transition is invisible even on metallics and pearls.
