When you enter the luxurious Aston Martin building in Zurich-Opfikon – at 3,000 m² it’s the largest exclusive dealership in Europe – you are greeted by a very special atmosphere. This is characterised, on the one hand, by the design of the showroom: instead of the usual minimalist coolness, an inviting feel-good ambience has been created here with elegant wood and natural stone, soft leather furniture and carpets. The exhibition space, totalling 900 m² over two floors, provides an inspirational setting for the presentation of the latest models and selected previously owned vehicles. Strolling through the high-ceiling, elegant rooms is an impressive experience. On the other hand, the atmosphere comes from the people who work here, their warmth and professionalism, and their enthusiasm for the British luxury sports car brand: when the Aston Martin lettering on the show car is polished to a high gloss. When they rhapsodise about the high performance and integrated high-tech of the Aston Martin models. Or when Managing Director Mathias Plutschow tells with a smile how as a young boy already fascinated by sports cars, he first proved his expertise as a lawyer in the Emil Frey Group and has now found his passion here.
The large selection of vehicles on display immediately catches the eye: from sleek sports cars to spacious SUVs, all the latest models are on display here in the showroom, perfectly colour-coordinated in keeping with the company’s sophisticated signature style and ready to be touched and admired. Accompanied by highly qualified employees who share their in-depth expert knowledge in a relaxed consultation, all questions are answered and all details of the various models are explained. You climb into the noble luxury cars, breathe in the scent of the new leather, feel the power and dynamism. You are welcome to take a test drive from here, but your desired vehicle can also be delivered to your home or workplace – after all, according to Mathias Plutschow, the customer is always the priority. The 'Configuration Lounge' also follows this philosophy: it keeps paint, leather and fabric samples that are true to colour & material ready for individual special requests. With expert advice at your side, you will be guided through this overwhelming wealth of beautiful possibilities. In the 'Q by Aston Martin Lounge' next door there are no limits to your personal wishes: whether it’s a specially mixed colour, a unique finish, a special conversion or even a one-off production to create a globally unique item – anything is possible.

Aston Martin Zurich – member of the Emil Frey Group
When Emil Frey opened a small workshop for bicycles and motorbikes in Zurich in 1924, nobody could have guessed that he was laying the foundations for a diverse group of companies that would become a European leader in the automotive industry. More than 100 years later, the family-run retail company now houses a proud 29 automotive brands – including the Aston Martin brand since the 1980s – as well as numerous financial and service providers for mobility. This range is characterised by unique expertise and unparalleled competence. Above all, the founding spirit still prevails: the focus is on the customer.
Naturally, Aston Martin Zurich also offers a full range of vehicle-related services: maintenance and overhauls, repairs and vehicle care, refurbishments and conversions. All of this takes place in the spacious workshop which resembles a light-flooded operating theatre: Everything shines in sparkling clean splendour and exemplary order, ensuring efficient work processes. Nine vehicle lifts are available, as well as state-of-the-art equipment for steering geometry, brake testing and tyre changes. You can see for yourself that the work here is carried out with the utmost precision and technical expertise: a glass wall separates the workshop from the showroom, offering exciting insights into the day-to-day work of the specialists, who are not only passionate about Aston Martin, but also have specific technical expertise, thanks to many years of experience and regular training at the Aston Martin factory in England.
Where anticipation becomes driving pleasure: the handover lounge
Aston Martin Zurich complements excellence in sales and maintenance with first-class comfort. As a customer, you benefit from maximum flexibility, short distances and optimal solutions. A flexible collection and delivery service is available if maintenance or repairs are required. You also have the option of dropping off the vehicle at a selection of well-chosen drop-off locations. If you travel around the world a lot, you can make a short stop in Opfikon on the way to the airport and be taken to the terminal by the in-house shuttle service – or you can arrange for your vehicle to be dropped off or picked up directly at the airport. And if you want your Aston Martin to be stored safely and professionally during a longer stay abroad, for example, Mathias Plutschow and his team are ready to help. Incidentally, he is particularly pleased that ever more women are joining his clientele, as they too appreciate the benefits of the British luxury sports brand. No wonder, because the new Vantage Roadster is the epitome of a sleek sports convertible: the car flexes its muscles with 665 hp and is truly an it-piece in terms of design. The new edition of the Vanquish is also likely to cause a sensation: the elegant coupé has just been unveiled, and now the brand new Vanquish Volante is going one better as an open-air legend. Both promise unrivalled performance and efficiency with 835 hp and a new V12 engine. Together with the sophisticated technologies and elegant interior, they redefine the ultra-luxury class of sports cars. Customers will be able to experience these icons in their full size and beauty at Aston Martin Zurich too. So what are you waiting for? Climb in and off you go, out of the house and into the open air!
