Protection over years.
Forms a firm bond with the paint. It needs a properly prepared surface and several days in controlled conditions.

Car care for Bern.
Paint protection, odour neutralisation and full preparation for vehicles from Bern, planned in advance and carried out at AVP in Glattbrugg.
Bern
Long-distance work planned as a single visit.
Bern is around ninety minutes west of our workshop in Glattbrugg, and we have no branch there. That is worth saying plainly, because it decides what is sensible to plan.
What we schedule for vehicles from the Bern region is work whose effect lasts for years: paint protection, odour neutralisation and full preparation. For routine washing, a local business is the better choice and we will say so.
Worthwhile workshop services
Work with a result that justifies the journey.
At this distance we combine correction, coating, interior and odour work into one appointment rather than spreading them across several journeys.
When nothing else worked.
We find the source first, clean and dry, and only then seal the process. In that order the smell does not come back.
View odour neutralisationBefore a sale.
Interior, paint and details in one pass. Exactly the scope that justifies a longer journey.
View used-car preparationFor classics and collections.
Original paint is thinner and less even. We measure the film thickness and work correspondingly sparingly.
View classic car polishingHow we work
One journey, one appointment, all done.
At an hour and a half, the preparation decides whether the trip is worth it.
We decline when it does not fit
For a wash the journey is too far. We say so on the phone rather than booking an appointment that does not pay for you.
Several jobs together
Paint correction, coating, interior and odour work can be combined in a single pass.
Workshop rather than on site
Polishing and coating need controlled light and a constant temperature. Both exist only in the hall.
What we see here
What cars from Bern bring with them.
Even though vehicles from the region reach us rarely, it is almost always the same three themes we find on them.
Cobbles and narrow lanes
The city centre was not built for today's vehicle widths. Rim edges take damage on kerbs, and over the uneven cobbles water sprays where it would not on a smooth road, into wheel arches and sill shuts.
Damp that stays
The river bend and the Mittelland hold moisture through the winter months. Cars do not dry out properly for weeks, and a greenish film builds up on seals and trim on the weather side.
Parked on the street all year
Across much of the city the kerbside is the permanent parking space. Under the avenue trees that means bird droppings and sap right through the summer, and in direct sun both etch into the clear coat within days.
Region
Also for Ostermundigen, Köniz and the Mittelland.
The same planning applies to the agglomeration and the wider Mittelland.
For vehicles from Ostermundigen, Köniz, Ittigen, Münsingen, Thun and Burgdorf the same applies: a bundled appointment, work with lasting effect, carried out in Glattbrugg. Solothurn and Aarau lie roughly half way.
Which level of care suits your vehicle is set out in the care packages, Smaragd to Diamant.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Bern.
Answers on distance, scope and what genuinely justifies the journey.
Do you have a location in Bern?
No. Our workshop is in Glattbrugg near Zurich, around ninety minutes away. For paint protection, odour neutralisation and full preparation we plan across Switzerland and carry out the work at our facility. For everyday cleaning we recommend a business closer to you.
Which care package suits my vehicle?
If you are unsure, a short consultation is the right place to start. We assess the vehicle's use, condition, interior and paintwork, then recommend a package or combination that genuinely fits. You decide on the next step afterwards. The four levels are compared under the care packages.
Do I need to know exactly which service I need?
No. Tell us about the vehicle, its condition and your goal. We will advise whether cleaning, polishing, paint protection, ceramic coating or a service workflow makes sense.
How binding are prices marked "from CHF"?
These prices provide guidance. The exact scope depends on vehicle size, condition, materials, soiling and the desired result. We agree the work clearly before starting.
Can scratches, stains or odours be removed completely?
That depends on their depth, material, cause and condition. Many marks can be removed or improved substantially. We explain what is realistic and material-safe before work begins. How deep a scratch sits decides the route, see scratch removal.
