1. Semes Automobile AG
Address: Schwamendingenstrasse 106, 8050
Contact Details: +41 43 311 64 80
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 7:30 AM – 12:00 NN, 1:00 PM – 7:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM

When I was younger, my dad would usually take our Volkswagen Golf to Semes Automobile whenever it needed bodywork or paint, and I now understand why.
Their spray shop delivers smooth finishes and spotless repairs. They have even recently adapted the use of eco-friendly paints and modern equipment that reduce waste, making the results stand out.
It wasn’t just the bodywork, though. They also handled tires, air conditioning, and steering geometry. This saved us from running around to different garages and definitely made Dad’s life a lot simpler.
The only downside is that they get busy in the early mornings, between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM. The good thing is, Filiz, the owner’s wife, still manages the administrative side, keeping things organised and ensuring customers feel taken care of.
And with extras like insurance claim support, replacement cars, and roadside help, Semes makes the whole repair process convenient and stress-free. No wonder my dad kept bringing the Volkswagen back.
Impeccable paintwork and helpful service
“This is the second time I am sending the car to the garage, and I can confirm again my previous review. The team did a great work in painting the the back of the car. The staff at the reception was very helpful and the service is impeccable.”

Honest garage with super MFK support
Five star service garage! I’ve dropped off my car twice to get it ready for the MFK and they offer superb service from the moment you get in touch to when you pick up your car. The only honest garage in the Zurich region! Would give 6 stars if I could.”

2. Lochergut Garage AG
Address: Karl-Bürkli-Strasse 5, 8004
Contact Details: +41 44 241 66 11
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 7:45 AM – 12:00 NN, 1:15 PM – 4:30 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
If there’s one thing we noticed right away at Lochergut Garage AG, it is how easy they make payments. It’s flexible, and although it may be a small detail, it really makes the visit smoother. They accept payments through credit card, Maestro, or even cash.
Of course, what really matters is their top-notch bodywork. They handle glass and windscreen repairs with ease. Additionally, their work on dents, scratches, and full-panel repairs stands out for its precision.
However, with their central location, parking can feel a bit tight. On the bright side, the garage is easily accessible by public transport, making it much more convenient to drop off and pick up your car.
And if you’re ever looking to upgrade, they also offer new and used cars, leasing options, and even replacement vehicles.
Also, a plus point to the company’s multilingual staff. Many clients have vouched for their admiration for their German, Italian, and English-speaking crew.
Transparent service and detailed care
“Antonio and his team did an excellent job on my car. I needed an urgent revision and they could deliver on very short notice. They were fully transparent with me from the beginning on in terms of costs and there were no surprise. Antonio was very nice and explained in details what they did. They won me as a customer.”

3. Corner Garage
Address: Schaffhauserstrasse 519, 8052
Contact Details: +41 44 302 43 00
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 7:30 AM – 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
- Saturday: 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM
- Sunday: Closed
One time, after lunch, my friends and I went to Corner Garage. Someone mentioned that this garage offers free diagnostics and brake checks without needing an appointment. And really, who wouldn’t love to rush in once they hear the word ‘free’?
What sets them apart is their practical approach to bodywork. Beyond the usual dent and paint jobs, they’re known for smart repairs—fixing small scratches without repainting the entire panel. That’s faster, cheaper, and far less hassle.
If there’s one thing to keep in mind, it’s that these smart repairs are perfect for small fixes only. For heavier damage, you may still require more extensive work that exceeds their quick-repair approach.
We also appreciate that they offer additional services on top. They prepare cars for MFK inspections—the Swiss roadworthiness that every car must pass.
Plus, they even offer pick-up and drop-off service if you can’t bring the car yourself.
Transparent pricing and professional touch
“Highly recommend Corner Garage Zurich! First time customer. Transparent pricing with detailed quotes, super professional service. Previously took my car to Peugeot, which cost double and always had issues. Plus your car is detailed for free which is a great touch. As an expat, this place is a gem. No wonder they have a high Google rating. Keep it up lads! I’ll be back.”

Friendly service with thoughtful extras
“It was my first time there for a service. I’m very satisfied so far. The price-performance ratio is absolutely reasonable, everyone is very friendly, clear and detailed accounting of the costs and what was done with a verbal explanation. (Helpful if you, like me, have no idea about cars) My vehicle was washed and cleaned inside, everything shines like new and I received chocolate bunnies as a gift for Easter. Thank you dear Cornergarage, I will definitely recommend you.”

4. Royal Autogarage GmbH
Address: Zweierstrasse 35, 8004
Contact Details: +41 44 242 38 42
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 7:30 AM – 12:00 NN, 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
While also preparing cars for the MFK inspections, the real highlight for Royal Autogarage GmbH is their body shop expertise. From small dents to full panel repairs, it’s really easy to notice how the finish is smooth and consistent.
Their Carrosserie repairs deserve a special mention too. It’s the skill of Fachspezialist Saddam Ajrawi and his team that ensures these fixes aren’t just for the looks. They also reinforce the car’s structure for lasting safety and durability.
However, one thing to note is that paint-matching on older or rare car models can take more time. But in a way, that’s a good sign. It shows that they’d rather perfect the colour than rush the job.
On top of that, they provide emission testing, air conditioner servicing, and even van rentals.
Plus, they have multiple Zurich branches and Saturday hours, which would be a practical choice for anyone who only has free time on weekends.
Quick, friendly service with lasting value
“Friendly and personable, quick repairs. Also very good value for money. Even though I arrived unannounced shortly before closing time, Sadam still took the time to perform an initial diagnosis. The repair was completed the very next day. From now on, this will be my regular garage for service and repairs.”
- Andreas Rösch, Google Review
Consistent quality and helpful staff
“I’ve been a satisfied customer of Royal Garage for several years. The quality of the work is excellent, the staff is very helpful and friendly, the prices are very fair, and the owner is extremely helpful. Highly recommended!”

5. Lucky Car
Address: Stettbachstrasse 4, 8600
Contact Details: +41 43 321 78 78
Operating Hours:
- Monday-Friday: 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM
- Saturday-Sunday: Closed
Lucky Car is the place I personally bring my car to. Their speciality in hail and dent repairs really sets them apart.
I love how they use their smart repair methods by fixing the dents without replacing the whole panel. It’s a yes for me, as it keeps the original paint of Lightning—my Audi A3—untouched.
Plus, their eco-friendly approach makes the experience even better. By avoiding unnecessary replacements and minimising waste, they save both money and materials. It feels modern, practical, and a little more responsible than a typical body shop.
Another feature I appreciate is that Lucky Car is part of a franchise-backed network. That means that you get consistent service quality, trained specialists, and the assurance that the same repair standards are followed across all their branches.
The only catch is that their focus leans heavily on small to medium damage. So, if your car has extensive collision issues, you may need to look for a more traditional heavy-duty body shop elsewhere.
Seamless repairs with helpful service
“I highly recommend the Lucky Car service! They were quick and professional. After their service one could not see any signs of a damage (big scratches and deformation of the bodywork on the side of the car, the front door did not open). They were very also kind, speaking English, and helpful with contacting the insurance company. Afterwards they even cleaned the car inside and outside;) Thanks a lot!;)”

Excellent bodywork at a fair price
“Lucky Car repaired a dent and paint damage on my Model Y. They did an excellent job and the communication was very friendly and helpful. The price is fair for the quality they deliver. I don’t intend to have more damages but if I do, this is where I’ll be getting my body repairs done.”
