The longest protection.
Forms a firm bond with the paint and carries for years. It needs a properly prepared surface, so workshop rather than on site.

St. Gallen
Specialist vehicle care from St. Gallen to Glattbrugg.
The route from St. Gallen makes careful pre-assessment essential. Clients normally choose AVP for paint and interior work that needs a specialist process, not for a routine clean without a defined objective.
We establish condition, desired result and workshop duration remotely as far as possible, then confirm the paint and materials on arrival.
Worthwhile workshop services
Work with a result that justifies the journey.
Long-term protection, multi-stage correction, odour treatment and complete preparation provide the clearest value for the journey.
Once properly, not repeatedly.
We find the source first, clean and dry, and only then seal the process. In that order the result holds.
View odour neutralisationBefore a sale.
One appointment in which interior, paint and details are treated together. Exactly the case that justifies a longer journey.
View used-car preparationThorough rather than superficial.
Seats, carpet, leather, cockpit and odour are assessed separately. Worth it when nothing has been done for a while.

What the climate does to paint.
The region makes its own demands. Knowing them means planning protection at the right time rather than afterwards.
More UV than the Mittelland
St. Gallen lies at around 700 metres. UV exposure rises with altitude, and it shows first on the roof and bonnet.
Salt on the slopes
Roads on a gradient are salted more heavily. The underbody, wheel arches and wheels take the brunt.
Moisture in the cabin
Eastern Switzerland is a high-rainfall region. Cars driven mostly short distances barely dry out inside.
Getting here and how it runs
How an appointment from St. Gallen works.
With an hour's drive we settle the whole sequence beforehand so that nobody travels twice. In practice it comes down to three options.
Scope agreed before you set off
We ask you to describe the vehicle, its condition and what you want addressed, with photographs where possible. We then say what can be combined in one visit and what is not worth the journey. That is the most important part of the appointment.
The car stays with us
Paint correction followed by coating needs curing time. For work like that the car stays two to three days. You drive here once and back once, not four times.
We cover both journeys
Where the scope justifies it we collect the car in the region and return it finished. Whether that is worthwhile depends on the scope, and we say so plainly when it is not.
Region
Also for eastern Switzerland and the Rhine valley.
The same planning applies to the wider area. The longer the journey, the more it matters to bundle the appointment.
On the way from us eastwards lie Winterthur and the Thurgau, both considerably closer and correspondingly easier to schedule. Schaffhausen adjoins to the north.
For vehicles from the Rhine valley, the Toggenburg and the Rorschach area the same logic applies as for the city: we settle the scope beforehand and plan so that one journey is enough. Which level of care suits is set out in the care packages, Smaragd to Diamant. How a ceramic coating works technically is explained in the chemical bond.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions from St. Gallen.
Answers on specialist scope, remote assessment and vehicle stay.
Can several services be combined for a vehicle from St. Gallen?
Yes, where the work belongs together. Interior care, paint correction and protection can be sequenced in one stay after we assess drying and curing requirements.
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 St. Gallen
Treat the conditions affecting vehicles from St. Gallen.
Vehicles from St. Gallen are particularly exposed to frequent rain, elevation and winter road residue. These influences are considered separately during the condition assessment so cleaning, paint correction and protection match the actual surface condition.
Photographs can help prepare a longer journey, but technical approval takes place on the cleaned vehicle. Workshop lighting, paint assessment and layer measurement where required determine the pad, polish and machine technique.
For multi-stage correction or protection, pre-cleaning, degreasing, correction and sealing are planned as one process. The scope, collection and subsequent care therefore match the vehicle's actual use.
Moisture and winter use also influence the cabin process. Textiles are deep-cleaned with controlled moisture and dried fully; odour treatment always begins with source cleaning and may add ozone when appropriate.
