About us
Our workshop is located not far from Zurich in the idyllic village of Hermatswil. We work together with regional partners for many years as well as national partners for paintwork, trim and bodywork.
Over 200 m2 of workshop space together with experienced employees enpower us to provide a complete support package to our customers and their classic cars. This may vary from the complete restoration of your classic car, or the modifications required for racing or rallying. Together with the procurement of missing or difficult to find spare parts.
In addition to 2 hydraulic lifts, a spacious turning mill centre and a large warehouse/storage area we also have our own “in house” engine dyno.
Our dyno is equiped with ultra modern combustion analysis technic and can run to 12,000 rpm and torque of 750 Nm.
We place great value on the appearance of each vehicle that leaves our workshop, according to our customers specific requirements, our “goal” is to optimize our customers requests.
Whenever possible we use orginal parts that we may find worldwide, or use our own warehouse where we have thanks to Edi, still many original parts. If it is not possible to obtain these parts, we can reproduce these components in co-operation with our longstanding suppliers.
