About the workshop.
Do you work on modern cars, or only on classics?
Both. The workshop services, repairs and restores classic cars and modern prestige cars to the same standard. Its six crafts apply to one as much as to the other.
Which makes does the workshop look after?
Every prestige and collector make. Porsche first, but also Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes-Benz and Mercedes-AMG, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Maserati, Jaguar, Audi, Land Rover or Brabus. Each make has its own page, gathered under makes and models.
Can I entrust my car to you without coming to Mougins?
Yes. The quote, the follow-up of the work and the handover can all be done remotely, and transport is arranged on request, in France and across Europe. The terms are set out in writing before any departure.
Everything that concerns clients from abroad is gathered on the European clients page.
Can I get a first opinion from photos?
Yes. A few photos and a description are enough for a first opinion; a video helps with a noise or a fault. The quote request form takes up to three photos, and the conversation can carry on by phone or on WhatsApp. The quote is confirmed once the car has been examined at the workshop.
How do I book an appointment at the workshop?
Online, on the book an appointment page: you choose the service, the car, then the slot, and a confirmation reaches you by email. The workshop has been at 1186 Chemin du Ferrandou, 06250 Mougins, since 2017. It is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 7pm and on Saturday from 9am to 6pm; it is closed on Sunday.
Can I visit the workshop?
Yes, by appointment, during opening hours. You can see your car while the work is under way, or look at leather and cloth samples before choosing an interior.
