Bodywork

Our panel beaters and painters receive ongoing training and keep up with technical developments, always in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

Glass

Glass can often be repaired rather than replaced. We repair or replace glass for all makes of car. We always choose the most economical option. With our special system, we can repair stone damage to windshields quickly, economically, and without removing the glass. The repaired area is almost invisible. We replace glass for any car, truck, or bus.

Dent removal

The dent removal technique makes repairs more economical. When the paintwork is undamaged, this method eliminates hail damage or small parking dents.

• Impeccable quality
• Reduced downtime
• Collaboration with insurance companies

Welding machine

We work with the latest generation of welding machines for repairs to light alloy or aluminum cars. By observing the manufacturer's parameters, we achieve excellent results in terms of stability and corrosion. Not only is it important to travel safely, but in the event of a sale, the car will have a higher value if it has been repaired in accordance with the manufacturer's parameters.

Rust protection

Protect your car against rust! Protecting boxed parts saves you money and keeps your car in good shape for longer. Protecting boxed parts increases the life of your car and protects it against rust. Rust in cars starts from the inside out. This means that rust usually remains hidden in closed parts. With the right protection for boxed parts, this phenomenon can be largely prevented. Even if rust is already present, this product suppresses it by covering the pores against moisture and oxygen. Preservation products are also used for winter protection of agricultural machinery or construction vehicles.

Repairing synthetic materials

It is not always necessary to replace the entire bumper. Scratches and scrapes in plastic can often be repaired without any problems. Other plastic parts such as headlight brackets etc. can also be repaired with the right equipment and knowledge. Repairing instead of replacing is not only economical, but also environmentally friendly.

Painting and polishing

We aim to use environmentally friendly technologies and follow the strict criteria of the European directive regulating the emission of solvents into the atmosphere.

We use environmentally friendly Cromax paints. The Cromax painting system is state-of-the-art: economical, easy to apply, environmentally friendly, and maintains the quality standard of the original paint. With our high standards, we comply with EU pollution laws.

Cromax paints are top quality. They have high coverage, good painting qualities, and exceptional color accuracy, even with the most difficult colors. Cromax colors also achieve excellent results in terms of environmental protection.

The parts to be painted must be carefully prepared. Dents are removed and smoothed out, which is very important for excellent shine and long-lasting color. The spectrophotometer analyzes the exact color tone, and the mixing system is used to obtain the precise shade.

In our modern paint booths, we add the finishing touches to the bodywork. Our company not only paints cars, vans, and motorcycles, but also furniture, front doors, windows, etc., giving them a new color. An integrated lift allows us to reach the most difficult parts.

Car wash

At our Locarno site, we have a modern car wash with special scratch-free brushes.

Numerous sensors that accurately recognize the type and precise position of the vehicle to be washed, the computerized control system, and, last but not least, the state-of-the-art brushes guarantee a perfect wash without scratching your car's bodywork. The chemicals we use are completely biodegradable and therefore do not pollute the environment.
