Core offering

PVcar operates a single physical automotive workshop in Žilina, Slovakia that delivers maintenance, mechanical repair, electrical and bodywork, manufacturer-grade diagnostics, air conditioning service, 3D wheel alignment, tire changing and balancing, ECU chiptuning, and vehicle power measurement for Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Škoda, and Seat vehicles. Complementing the workshop services, the company sells original spare parts for these brands, installs Slovak language on Audi MMI infotainment systems, prepares vehicles for technical and emissions inspection (TK/EK), and rents Polaris and Ski-Doo snowmobiles with optional equipment.

Product overview

PVcar is a multi-service automotive workshop operating as a single integrated service platform rather than a modular product suite. The core offering centers on the Autoservis as the primary service hub, supported by specialized sub-services including Diagnostika (manufacturer-specific vehicle diagnostics), Klimatizácia (air conditioning service), Geometria (3D wheel alignment), Pneuservis (tire service), Chiptuning (ECU tuning), and Meranie výkonu vozidiel (power measurement). The company also offers complementary services: SK jazyk pre Audi MMI (Slovak language installation for Audi infotainment systems and TV/DVD unlock) and Prenájom snežných skútrov (snowmobile rental with equipment and loaner vehicles). All services are delivered from the company's Žilina facility with a focus on Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Škoda, and Seat vehicle brands.
