Services

Seven areas. Every job starts with a price you know in advance.

  1. Service & Repairs

    All makes, to the manufacturer's schedule. Your warranty stays intact. OEM-quality parts, genuine on request.

  2. Motorcycle Service

    Our own bike lift. Service, valve clearance, chain, brakes, tyres. Scooters too.

  3. MFK Inspection

    The Swiss periodic inspection. We pre-check, fix what needs fixing and present the vehicle at the cantonal test centre. You do not need to be there.

  4. Tyres & Wheels

    Changing, balancing, storage on the rack. We tell you when a tyre is too old, not just when it is worn.

  5. Air Conditioning

    Recover, vacuum, recharge, leak test. Worth doing every two years.

  6. Diagnostics & Electrics

    Reading the fault memory is the start. We look for the cause, not just the code.

  7. Classic Cars

    Carburettors, ignition, brakes, corrosion. We work with the workshop manual and patience.
