Your car needs an urgent repair. Is that still possible during the corona crisis? And what about buying a car?
Especially if you want to avoid public transport due to the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus and the Covid19 pandemic caused by it, the recently frequently criticized means of transport, car, is gaining in importance again - regardless of whether it is petrol, diesel, electricity, natural gas, LPG or even hydrogen running. But what to do if the car has a defect? Can I then bring it to the workshop for repair? And can you rent a rental car? Can you still go to a car dealer and buy a new car there?
Auto repairs and maintenance are still possible. Of course, the auto repair shops take protective measures when accepting the order, as can also be seen in supermarkets, for example. But a broken car can currently be brought to the workshop and repaired at any time. The industry news portal KFZ Vogel reports.
A.T.U wants to start emergency workshop operations in Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in ten regional focus branches. A.T.U stopped operating the branches in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on March 20. The number of A.T.U branches with a workshop emergency operation is to be gradually expanded depending on the location. Primarily, the work focuses on urgent automotive services, which usually cannot be postponed. According to A.T.U, the vehicles of emergency and care services, police, fire brigade and authorities have priority. The connected shops with car accessories remain closed. It is best for customers to contact an emergency workshop via www.atu.de.
Overview of A.T.U branches with emergency operation:
Berlin 11, Halenseestr. 35, 10711 Berlin
Dresden 3, Washingtonstr. 10, 01139 Dresden
Düsseldorf 3, Südring 119, 40221 Düsseldorf
Filderstadt, Felix-Wankel-Str. 32, 70794 Filderstadt-Bernhausen
Frankfurt 2, Mainzer Landstr. 631, 65933 Frankfurt / Main
Hamburg 6, Stresemannstr. 297, 22769 Hamburg
Cologne 4, Duerener Str. 411, 50858 Cologne

The situation is different with the stationary and commercial sale of cars: This is currently prohibited in car dealerships, but may be continued online and by telephone. Private advertisements are still possible on the usual online platforms such as autoscout.de or mobile.de. How a sales talk and test drive then takes place in view of the nationwide ban on contacts is a completely different question. According to Mobile.de, private car sales are not currently expressly prohibited. However, there may be problems with the admission because the admissions office is closed.
