About Gräub
Gräub Auto Center AG is a family-owned company from the canton of Aargau. Walter Gräub founded a body repair shop for vehicles of all makes in Aarau in 1978; the repairs made the company a trusted body shop for several insurers. Since 2008 the headquarters has been located in Oberentfelden, where around 65 employees work in automotive mechatronics, body and sheet-metal work, painting, and after-sales retail (as of 2018, including 11 apprentices). The company is an official Ford A-brand dealership and service point for Dodge and RAM. The workshop performs repairs, emissions maintenance, air-conditioning service, car entertainment, tyre service and tuning to manufacturer standard; a test lane comprises a brake dynamometer, wheel alignment and shock absorber testing. A key focus is the make-neutral ReMobil division: since 1993 vehicles have been converted for self-drivers and transport of people with physical disabilities, including IV/SUVA assessments and approval by the Road Traffic Office. A towing service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
