We need the winter tires put on. We have tires with rims, but no jack/tools. Wondering if there’s a cheaper solution than using the dealer. We don’t need storage as we have a garage. Pneus Claude was recommended, but we don’t live in Geneva. Any recommendations in Nyon?
We use these guys. https://www.pneuviquerat.ch/pneuviquerat
On-line bookings possible.
Thank you!
Could also try pneu-egger, they have locations in Vaud. We’re getting our tyres changed on Thursday at our local branch.
There's a mobile business out of Crassier that comes to your home, very reasonably priced too
Thank you I have made arrangements.
I would like to state that for cheaper than any dealer or winter garage shop, you can buy a hydraulic jack in jumbo for around 25-30 CHF and a ratchet for another 10-50 CHF (depending if you buy just one with specific socket or a bigger set with more pieces).
It is very easy, rewarding and can be fun to do with the help of someone else.
I do it myself every year and takes up to 30min, very easy, have fun with my girlfriend and now we both know how to change a wheel, install the spare in an emergency etc.
Cheaper + free knowledge & fun!
Yes, we used to do our own, but we’re too old and creaky nowadays to manage it.
Wheels need to be fitted with a torque wrench. Not doing so is dangerous to you and others.
You should maybe advise the garages and local tyre fitters !!
