We’ll bring the car to one of our partners and provide you with a courtesy car in the meantime. If you decide to keep your existing car, we’ll help you with importing it into Switzerland.

ou’re relocating to Switzerland and you need to have a car. Is it better to import the one you have, or sell it and buy a new one here? Or lease one? What about insurance and servicing? And what do you do with it when you leave? autociel.ch can help you with all this and more besides. Founded in Gland (Romandie) in 2002 by Markus Häfeli, a qualified economist, the business has rapidly become the leading car dealer for expats in Switzerland. Personal Service Whatever your questions, our team of experts, most of whom speak fluent English as well as other languages, can give you excellent advice free of charge. We offer you a personal service tailored to your needs, and also carry out complete analyses according to your requirements. And we’re proud to report that in the vast majority of cases (80-90%) people are happy to follow our advice. At autociel.ch, we can provide you with quality cars like Audi, BMW, Land Rover, Jaguar, Mercedes, Volvo, VW or in fact any other brand, whether you want to buy new, nearly new or used. No other garage in Switzerland can
offer such a complete range of vehicles, and there are not many garages that can serve you in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. The best deals Since price levels are different in the various parts of Switzerland we are always able to give you the best deals, wherever we can find them, through our network of contacts in Switzerland and Germany or other European countries. Price levels in Switzerland are often far higher than elsewhere, so this means we can source high quality cars on favourable terms. As a result, our prices are usually below the market price for new cars, sometimes by a substantial amount, especially for cars with list prices exceeding CHF 50,000. We also take the future resale value into consideration.
The car will be put on the leading Internet platform in Switzerland, with autociel.ch handling all enquiries for you and taking care of test-drives. If the car is not sold after this period, we may suggest reviewing the price. We look forward to hearing from you! If you need more information, please feel free to visit our website. www.autociel.ch
In addition, we will also take care of the registration process (obligatory in Switzerland), and we can help you obtain top-quality, competitive car insurance even if you buy your car privately or through a colleague. As for financing, if you need to arrange leasing terms for your car, we can help you find the best deal and take care of

When you leave We’ll gladly help you export your car when you leave Switzerland, or make you a trade-in offer. This is possible at any time, even at a few days’ notice. Or we can estimate your car’s value using the Eurotax system (Switzerland’s most trusted evaluation software), and then analyse the Internet for market comparisons. We’ll collect your car (leaving you a replacement vehicle), and carry out a complete check-up to see whether any repairs are needed to maximise the re-sale value.
