About Laubscher & Fils SA
Laubscher & Fils SA is a Swiss family-owned company based in Fétigny, founded in 1968 by Jean-François Laubscher Senior as a small wheel repair workshop in Vernier.

The range of services includes paint stripping (décapage), sandblasting, straightening of deformed or cracked wheels, widening and narrowing of wheels as well as repair of scratches, paint chipping and corrosion. The offering is complemented by liquid painting and powder coating (thermolaquage), diamond cutting (diamantage), polishing and custom special paint finishes for cars and motorcycles. Work is carried out in accordance with safety standards, with a free quote before the job begins; repairs are performed with a warranty. The company serves private customers, automotive trade businesses and the classic car scene and is listed as a wheel specialist, among others, in the Porsche community and in the classic car supplier database Fine Classic Cars.
