From a 1998 workshop to the GAR Service studio
Almost three decades around cars: from a classic repair shop through a career specialisation in PDR to a studio with complete exterior care under one roof.
1998 → 2026: how we grew
Every milestone brought us closer to what we are today — scroll and watch the story fill in.
- 1998
Workshop founded
We start as a classic garage — mechanical repairs. The craft foundation we still build on today.
- 2001
Restructuring, B2B course
A new direction: working exclusively with large companies. Corporate fleets taught us discipline, deadlines and volume.
- 2005
Body shop opened
Everything around the car body under our own roof — painting and complete bodywork repairs.
- 2006
First 1,000 cars repaired
The thousandth car handed back to its owner. The number that proved we were doing it right.
- 2011
International partners
We start working for partners abroad — first steps beyond the Czech border.
- 2014
A new craft: PDR
We discover Paintless Dent Repair — faster, cheaper and gentle on the factory paint.
- 2016
PDR as the core specialisation
Full restructuring: PDR becomes the heart of the company. Narrow focus, top-level craft.
- 2017
CarTec partnership (BMW)
A premium BMW dealer entrusts us with its cars — quality confirmed at the highest level.
- 2018
AutoBase partnership (BMW)
A second BMW partnership. Working for authorised dealers becomes our standard.
- 2019
Detailing begins
Car care, polishing, ceramic protection, films — we cover the exterior completely, not just repairs.
- 2020
Hand car wash
We open a hand wash — safe, brush-free care that protects the paint.
- 2021
16+ locations across Europe
Over 16 sites worked across Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands — international field experience.
- 2023
First Prague branch
A branch focused on direct clients — bringing our B2B experience to drivers.
- 2024
The GAR Service brand is born
Everything we know gets a name. GAR Service = complete car exterior care.

Strategic partnership with HailHub
A strategic partnership signed with HailHub — the strength of an international network behind us.
