Eurorepar Car Service plans a network of up to ten garages in Slovenia

Eurorepar Car Service, a network bringing independent garages together under a shared international brand, is entering Slovenia. P Automobil Import has signed an exclusive agreement with Stellantis to develop the network in the Slovenian market. The first partner garages are expected to join in 2026, with a long-term aim of bringing together up to ten garages across Slovenia.

Selecting partners first, followed by gradual expansion

As Siol.net reported on 23 October, the initial development phase will focus primarily on recruiting high-quality independent garage partners. The announcement therefore does not mean that ten new garages will open at once, but marks the start of a gradual network rollout. Up to ten garages is the long-term target, while bringing the first partners on board by the end of the year remains a plan for now.

Development will be led by P Automobil Import, which is moving into a new area of aftersales services through this agreement. Its partnership with Stellantis puts it in charge of developing Eurorepar Car Service in Slovenia. The focus will be on partner selection, technical expertise and service standards.

The planned expansion also has a geographical objective: to give drivers convenient access to garages across the country. The network’s eventual reach will therefore depend not only on the total number of participating garages, but also on where they are located. The local shape of the planned network will only become clear as individual partners join.

Local independence under an international brand

The Eurorepar Car Service concept combines the strengths of local, independent garages with the support of an international network. At the heart of the model are independent repair businesses joining a shared network, rather than simply new branches opening under a single owner. This is a defining feature of the planned entry into Slovenia.

For those interested in Slovenia’s franchise market, the development is noteworthy because it brings together local entrepreneurship, a shared brand and service standards. However, the terminology matters: the Slovenian announcement describes a network of partner garages. Independent businesses operating under one brand should not automatically be assumed to have a particular type of franchise agreement.

Development will focus on the quality and technical expertise of garage partners. P Automobil Import aims to build a recognisable, competitive network that enables participating garages to develop their businesses further. This is the stated direction of development, not a guarantee of commercial results for any individual garage.

Interested garage operators should therefore distinguish between two questions: what joining an international network offers, and what their specific contractual obligations would be. Brand recognition may provide a reason to start discussions, but deciding whether to join requires an assessment of the terms applicable to each partner.

Servicing vehicles of different makes and ages

Eurorepar Car Service provides maintenance and repairs for vehicles of different makes and ages. Although the network forms part of Stellantis’s aftersales ecosystem, its stated service concept is multi-brand. Its role is therefore not limited to maintaining vehicles from a single car brand.

By entering Slovenia, it aims to give drivers another option when choosing a garage. The stated goal is to offer professional, appropriately priced services suited to the age of the vehicle and the customer’s needs. This describes the intended offering; it is neither a published price list nor evidence that its services will be cheaper than every other option on the market.

For drivers, the practical significance of the network’s arrival will depend mainly on how the local offering develops. The intended geographical coverage and multi-brand approach describe a plan, whose usefulness drivers will be able to assess as garages join in specific locations. Until then, it is important to distinguish between an announced rollout and an already operational Slovenian network.

International scale provides context for development in Slovenia

According to Stellantis, Eurorepar Car Service had more than 6,200 garages across 30 countries in September 2026. More than 4,900 of these were in Europe. The Slovenian project therefore builds on an established international network rather than an entirely new servicing concept.

These figures show the network’s scale abroad, but do not predict the pace of expansion or its success in Slovenia. The local plan is for gradual development, with a long-term target of up to ten garages. The key next step will be the arrival of the first independent partners, expected during 2026.

Practical advice: Before deciding to join, independent garage operators should check the contractual obligations, costs, support provided and required standards. An international name is a starting point for discussions; what matters most is the terms of participation for the individual garage.
