The exchange focused on the current operating situation, innovative service concepts and the impact of regional construction site projects. Michael Frey gave the guests a tour of the workshop building, which is currently a hive of activity. Particularly pleasing: with son Moritz Frey, the next generation is already actively involved in the company, thus securing the future of the family business. During the tour, Michael Frey emphasized the importance of transparency in customer contact: "It is important to us that the customer can also see their vehicle from below on the lifting platform. Often, you only believe what you see. When we show and explain problems directly on the vehicle, it creates deep trust."
Barth & Frey's range of services extends from classic mechanics to modern diagnostics and sophisticated bodywork - all from a single source. Capacity utilization is excellent, but like many companies in the industry, the company still faces a key challenge: the need for qualified specialist staff remains high in order to meet the increasing demand.
At the same time, the company continuously invests in modern technology and the highest quality standards. A newly installed car wash ensures that every vehicle leaves the company in perfect condition. Equally impressive is the company's own tire hotel, where around 600 wheel sets - some 2,400 tires - are professionally stored. This service underlines Barth & Frey's claim to be a reliable full-service provider.
Another topic of discussion was the traffic and roadworks situation. The complete closure of Tiefensteiner Straße last year inevitably led to a decline in spontaneous walk-in customers, but the loyal regular customers remained faithful to the business and also accepted longer detours - a clear sign of the company's strong regional roots. At the end, Mayor Frank Frühauf was visibly impressed by the company's innovative strength, commitment and customer proximity:
"Companies like Barth and Frey are the backbone of our local economy. The fact that the next generation is already taking on responsibility with Moritz Frey is an important signal for the future of our business location."
