New car center for Kenny's
"First a Käfeli. Then your car.": Kenny's Auto-Center is as well known for this slogan and the "Kenny's Käfeli" as it is for the sale and service of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars and smart. Marc Eichenberger is the second generation to run the company, and he recently became the majority shareholder.
"Kenny's Käfeli" has become legendary: anyone who has contact with the auto center founded by Kenny Eichenberger cannot avoid a cup of coffee. The customer experience has always been a top priority at Kenny's - now also in new surroundings. For the Mercedes-Benz Center in Dietlikon, a historic factory building was converted into a usable space of 6,200 m2 converted: ultra-modern and CO₂-neutral. Thus, an over 2,000 m2 large solar plant with a peak output of 500 kW supplies the plant and charges electric vehicles. Together with geothermal probes, it covers the operational demand for energy and heat. In the summer months, the system produces an energy surplus that can be fed into electric vehicles via 30 charging stations and stored in the future. The second floor of the Auto Center is dedicated to extensive work on alternative drive systems, including high-voltage batteries, and is operated by Switzerland's best specialists in this field. An exciting spectacle has been specially designed for the handover of the new cars. When picking up the vehicle, the customer presses the "Magic Button". The buyer is ceremoniously handed over the new vehicle with a spectacular light show, accompanied by self-selected music.
Cooperation with Zurich restaurateurs from La Stanza
The well-known "Kenny's Käfeli" can still be found at every consultation appointment. In planning and implementing the coffee area, Kenny's worked closely with the well-known Zurich restaurateurs La Stanza. A special area is dedicated to the enjoyment of coffee: in future, customers will be able to take a seat in Kenny's Café and enjoy the high-quality Demeter coffee from South America.
One success story, two generations
Auto entrepreneur Kenny Eichenberger fulfilled a boyhood dream in 1976 when he opened his first location for the sale of used and imported new cars in Buchs (ZH) - back then on a simple gravel parking lot. In the meantime, Kenny's Auto-Center is one of the leading dealers for Mercedes-Benz and smart in Switzerland and is represented at four locations. Since 2016, son Marc Eichenberger has been CEO of the Kenny's Group and majority shareholder since July 2022.
On the weekend of January 14 and 15, 2023, the new Auto Center will be formally opened.
