As often as makes sense.
With no journey involved, a regular wash interval becomes realistic, and that preserves the paint best.

Car care for Opfikon.
Professional car care for Opfikon at the AVP workshop in Glattbrugg, from regular interior and exterior maintenance to polishing and coatings.
Opfikon
Car care within the Opfikon community.
Glattbrugg belongs to Opfikon, so AVP clients from across the municipality have a direct route to the workshop. This is useful for regular care as well as work that benefits from an inspection before booking.
We assess interior materials, paint condition and the intended result first, then recommend the smallest scope that can deliver it properly.
Nearby services
Care with short journeys and clear appointments.
For Opfikon clients, regular cleaning, paint refinement and long-term protection can all be planned locally without turning the appointment into a larger logistics exercise.
With time and light.
Multi-stage correction needs controlled light and undisturbed time. Both are available here.

What we see here
What sets Opfikon apart.
Opfikon has changed a great deal in twenty years, and it shows in the vehicles that reach us. Three things stand out.
Underground parking instead of the kerb
In Glattpark most cars sit in underground garages. That protects them from sun and bird droppings but creates the opposite problem in winter: road salt stays damp on the underbody instead of drying off as the car is driven.
Sap from new trees
The avenues in the newer districts are still young, and young trees give off a great deal of sap in early summer. On roofs and bonnets it dries into hard spots that cannot simply be wiped away.
High mileage, little time
Around the office campuses there are many company and leased vehicles. They cover motorway miles, are rarely washed by hand, and often reach us shortly before they go back. Earlier would cost less.
Region
Also for Glattbrugg, Oberhausen and the Glatt valley.
The municipality of Opfikon covers Glattbrugg, Oberhausen and Opfikon village. All three are minutes away.
Glattbrugg is the district the workshop stands in. Directly adjacent are Kloten, Wallisellen and Dübendorf, all reachable in under fifteen minutes.
Towards the city it is around twenty minutes to Zurich. Which level of care suits your vehicle is set out in the care packages, Smaragd to Diamant.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Opfikon.
Answers on local appointments, CarSpa and choosing the right workshop service.
Does AVP also offer mobile care within Opfikon?
For suitable work, yes. We first check access, working space, weather protection and the requested service; complex polishing and coating remain workshop services.
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.
Technical car care for Opfikon
Treat the conditions affecting vehicles from Opfikon.
Vehicles from Opfikon are particularly exposed to airport and urban traffic, road film and intensive use. These influences are considered separately during the condition assessment so cleaning, paint correction and protection match the actual surface condition.
After a low-mineral pre-clean and controlled pH wash, the paint is assessed under workshop lighting. Measurement and a test area show which swirls, micro-scratches or dull areas can be reduced safely with a coordinated machine-polishing process.
Protection is then matched to urban deposits, parking conditions and wash frequency. Plastic and rubber receive silicone-free care; defined maintenance intervals can help commuter vehicles retain their condition.
Cabin materials are cleaned separately, with controlled extraction for suitable textiles and a dedicated drying stage. Odour treatment starts at the source; ozone is only an option in appropriate cases. The relevant visible condition is recorded for return vehicles.
