Karlsruhe, Germany – Over the past years, experienced Bosch Car Service workshops and Bosch Classic, the company’s specialist unit for classic cars, have built up a network for the service and repair of old and new classic cars. Today, more than 90 workshops in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and France bear the “Classic Service” emblem, which shows that they have the specialist expertise, tools, and appliances needed to service historic vehicles. To earn this emblem, they have to satisfy a long list of requirements. In this context, experienced mechanics are especially important. Classic cars are regularly serviced and repaired in the Bosch Classic Service workshops. In addition, the specially trained Classic Service mechanics have outstanding manual skills that are rarely found in a modern vehicle workshop. With their knowledge of historic vehicle components, the Bosch Classic Service workshops offer services above all in the areas of automotive electrics, engine management, injection systems, brakes, magneto ignition, carburetor repair, and vehicle restoration. In this way, they help ensure that the new and old classic cars remain roadworthy.
