Repair & Exchange

Your repair will be executed by highly qualified technicians with trained expertise.

Trouble Shooting

 

Whenever a product does not function as expected, we recommend that you leave the devices mounted and connected to clarify the fault with our technical support. This way, our experts can still connect to the products for troubleshooting and recovery. Most cases of the incidents with no hardware failure can be resolved immediately.

In case of hardware failure, we help you to clarify questions of warranty, service level, repair process or product exchange.

Service handling of products in warranty

Service for products that are in warranty are free of charge. Any product that does not function as specified due to a defect in material or workmanship will be either fully repaired or replaced with a product of the same model that functions as specified. Depending on the type of product, the actual availability of spare parts and products and the individual service requests we offer a service solution either as Carry In repair or as Advanced exchange. Please contact us when you have a service request and we will inform you about the service level options of the affected product.

Service handling for product out of warranty

For products where the warranty has already expired, we still offer a solution as long as the product is still in production and in general even for another five years after the end of production. As service solution we offer either a chargeable repair service, sale of refurbished products of the same model or sale of a new product of the same model or similar or successor model with same or better functionality. Chargeable repairs We differentiate between repairs at the flat rate and repairs according to cost estimate. Both prices include transport costs, diagnostics, repair, spare parts, required updates where applicable, calibration where necessary, function test, cleaning, repair report, quality checks, and safety checks. Please contact us to clarify all further details of the repair.

You can get an overview of all service levels covered by the warranty terms. Just download the Service policies with detailed information.

Repair in a return material authorization process (RMA)

If your Bosch device is defective, we will help you to find a solution as soon as possible. We make short processing times possible using clear, standardized processes.

To guarantee high quality repairs, our team works closely with other technical departments like R&D and Quality Management. In addition, we do not just repair your device; we process it completely. Therefore, before the device is prepared for shipping, it undergoes an obligatory quality and safety check. If necessary, further tests are administered to ensure that it is working properly.

Yes, you can always ask, if an advanced exchange is possible for your RMA and we will try to handle your RMA accordingly if possible and if there are swap products available. Please be aware that there some restrictions:

  • Advanced exchange is not possible if you have cutomized your product, for example if you painted the housing in a different colour.
  • Especially for products that are not in production anymore and products that are not on stock and "made to order" only the availability of swap items might limited.
  • When a defective product is replaced in an RMA with service level advanced exchange, thes swap product will have a different serial number and MAC address and firmware version and therefore might require additional programming and configuration effort. Please always check the firmware version of the swap product.
  • The warranty confirmation made when the RMA is created might be voided when the defective product is returned and the failure is found to be a customer induced damage.
  • You will be invoiced a "non-return-fee" if the defective product is not returned within four weeks after delivery of the swap product.

Please be aware that there some restrictions:

  • Carry-in is not possible if your product is damaged beyond economical repair, for example if it was struck by lightning.
  • Especially for products that are not in production anymore it might not be possible to source all required spare parts for a repair.
