Personal customer relationship - Our strength is your profit!

Christen Automobile AG was founded in 1998 as a family business by Carmen and Hubert Christen. They were the first in Switzerland to exhibit and sell only the Audi brand. With their great, tireless commitment, Carmen and Hubert Christen made a significant contribution to the success of Audi in Switzerland. The two of them started out alone; they now employ over 45 people and train apprentices. In the fall of 2014, Christen Automobile AG opened a VW garage at Umfahrungsstrasse 27, where it sells VW cars as well as VW commercial vehicles. Eight years later, in spring 2022, an extension was added to the VW building to enlarge the preparation area, the spare parts warehouse and the car storage area, including a new staff lounge.

 

Customer is the focus

The ISO 9001-certified company strives to continuously improve its internal procedures and processes. The focus is always on the customer. The personal relationship with customers and the appreciation they show are the most important cornerstone and the greatest driving force of the family business. With the broad product range of Audi, VW and VW commercial vehicles, a brand-independent used car market and Europcar car rental, important development goals have already been achieved. Further plans in terms of a customer-oriented service range will follow.

 

Attractive employer

The company makes a valuable contribution to the Uri economy and therefore to Uri's future. Apprenticeships enable young people from Uri to complete their training in the canton of Uri. The company also offers qualified employees the opportunity to pursue their chosen profession in Uri with a range of further training opportunities. Thanks to the wide range of brands, the overall brand offering in Uri is enriched and thus a large part of the added value is generated in the canton. Christen Automobile AG also supports numerous clubs and organizations in the form of sponsorship and financial contributions.
