I know there are a lot of Porsche owners that are PHers living in Switzerland. You can read an awful lot about OPCs (mostly negative) in the UK and the service/price they have to offer, and of course there is a number of highly regarded independents that are cheaper and possibly far more knowledgeable about the cars.

Does anyone know of any independent Porsche specialists in Switzerland where I could get servicing done? Does such a thing exist over here? Or do I have to continue going to the OPC (ASAG in Basel for me) for every little thing that needs doing?

Thanks for all the useful replies folks, much appreciated.

Rainer, I'm a scientific analyst in the Pharma industry. It just about pays the servicing bills at ASAG Porsche in Baselwink

Looking forward to a hoon at some point this summer...

All the best
Andrew

Hi Smiler,
Where will your friends be based in Switzerland? If it's anywhere near Basel, there are a number of pharma companies to apply to- Novartis and Roche being the big ones, plus a host of others such as Actelion, generics companies like Sandoz and Mepha; plenty of chemical companies too, like Ciba, Clariant and so on- the list is endless!
Down in Geneva there's Merck Serono. Not too sure of any others if it is specifically lab work you need. There are plenty of other research insitutes here f Academia is also a possibility- e.g ETH Zurich, Friedrich Miescher Institute and universities.
It's difficult to be more specific without knowing your friend's exact work experience and job preferences. The English Forum Switzerland might be worth a try as well (google it). And feel free to PM me if you want some more help!

HTH
