The customer is obligated to supply the vehicle on the day of the workshop appointment at the agreed time, and to collect it again within the opening hours. Deviations from the workshop appointment as booked on yourwheels.ch are only permitted after direct consultation with the workshop and with their agreement, whereby the products made available for the order by yourwheels.ch resp. hostettler autotechnik ag ag must be used.

For each workshop appointment, yourwheels.ch creates a detailed order confirmation with all reserved parts and services of the workshop.
