YOUR VACATION STARTS WITH GROSS REISEN
BEFORE YOU CLIMB ABOARD - WE PROVIDE FOR YOUR SAFETY
Our subsidiary, the BUS LKW Service GROSS, is one of the most modern maintenance facilities in Southern Germany for all kind of coaches and trucks. There, all our motor coaches undergo regular maintenance inspections and safety checks – we leave nothing to chance!
A team of three certified engineers and eight mechanics have the most modern technical test equipment at their disposal. 100 percent reliability and the safety of our customers are their most important goals. They not only do daily performance checks, but also the required tachograph controls, electronic wheel balancing, brake checks on a roller-tester, and the annual official Transport Ministry Test (TÜV) for all of our motor coaches. We have been awarded with all the licenses required by law to complete these tests ourselves. In addition, since 1989 we are an official service station of Kässbohrer-Setra, a subsidiary of Mercedes Benz. This allows us to provide service to the trucks and busses of 50 other companies in our region.
All our customers can use our service-facilities, like the computer-controlled gasoline-station, or a fully automatic car-wash system, especially designed for motor coaches. It guarantees that our fleet is always gleaming and looking its best! By the way, did you know that the glass area of a 50-seat motor coach equals the window area of a 5-room apartment?

GROSS guarantees you quality! All our motor coaches show the quality label of the RAL Buskomfort e.V. – a registered seal awarded by the gbk (Gütegemeinschaft Buskomfort) in cooperation with associations of engineers (TÜV and DEKRA) and experts. The stars and symbols on this label give exact information about the number of seats, the leg-room and all other amenities that make for a pleasant journey. The quality label is awarded for twelve months only, after which the coach must undergo further testing. The silver sign is to be found on the tail and on both passenger doors of all our coaches, and will tell all: This coach has class!

Not only our motor coaches, but also our drivers are awarded: Almost all of our drivers received in 1996 an honor of the Ministry for Traffic in recognition of their safe driving. We are very proud of this achievement which guarantees our passengers the highest safety. The crew consists only of professional and experienced drivers. Internal and external training programs provide the continuous improvement of their driving skills and vehicle knowledge.
