Why Polish Repairs Make Commercial Sense

Labour and material costs in Poland are 40–60 % lower than equivalent work in Germany or Austria. The same welding qualifications, the same TDT-recognised documentation, the same paint systems — at a fraction of the DACH workshop cost. Factoring in transport to Chorula (180 km from the German border), the net saving on a full renovation remains significant.

PHS Magnum issues invoices in EUR as well as PLN, simplifying accounting for German and Austrian fleet operators.

Frequently Asked Questions

The repair is documented to TDT requirements — the inspector receives welding records, material certificates, and a scope description. For major structural repairs, TDT requires a pressure test before re-certification. We manage the entire process.

Yes — we handle regular jobs from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Invoicing in EUR or PLN; documentation in Polish and English.

We can organise flatbed transport, or point you to towing companies in the region. For vehicles broken down on the A4 near Opole, we can arrange a recovery truck.

Yes — our welders hold TIG certificates for aluminium. Aluminium requires careful technique: temperature management, filler rod selection, and post-weld crack risk — not every workshop can handle this.

Minor panel and welding work without repainting: 2–5 working days. Structural tank welding: 5–10 days. Full renovation with paint and TDT documentation: 10–20 days. Lead times confirmed after initial assessment.
