About our workshop

Garage Martin Biver showroom - Panoramic view

Regarding our workshop, we would like to let you know that our mechanics receive training throughout the year through specialised courses (given by our importer Autosdiffusion Losch in Luxembourg), covering the mechanics, electronics and bodywork of the new models.

Every year, our team therefore completes many hours of training to improve its work and make it more efficient, so as to give our customers the greatest possible satisfaction.

Other very important changes have taken place in the VW and AUDI organisation in our country. Indeed, the VW and AUDI factories decided (in addition to completely separating the two brands) to reduce the number of official dealers! By building the new AUDI showroom, we were able to keep both brands. This is also why we decided to build a new workshop to separate the two brands for good.

Finally, we hope that we can also count on you, our valued customers, to face the major challenges that the future holds for us.

Come and discover our showroom

More than 1000 m² of exhibition space awaits you in Weidingen/Wiltz.
