The Renault jobs we see most.
Renaults are good value to buy and cheap to run when they are serviced on time. Most of the expensive faults we see trace back to an oil change that came late or a warning that was left on, so the service is where we start.
- Servicing to the Renault schedule
- The oil grade the engine is specified for and changed at the right interval, which on a dCi is what protects the crankshaft bearings.
- Cambelts on the dCi
- Replaced with the water pump and tensioner at the interval for your engine, which we check against the registration.
- EDC automatic gearboxes
- Judder and hesitation on the dual clutch box in many Clios and Capturs, diagnosed before any part is ordered.
- Key cards and readers
- Card batteries, cards and dashboard readers tested in turn, so the fix is the part that has actually failed.
- Trafic and Master vans
- Servicing, clutches, brakes and particulate filters on the vans local trades rely on, booked around your working week.
Your Renault warranty and its service history.
Block exemption rules let an independent garage service a Renault under warranty, provided the schedule is followed and the parts are of matching quality. We work to both, and warranty repairs and recalls, which Renault pays for, still go to a dealer.
Every service is added to the car’s record and written up for you, with the parts and the oil grade used, so the history stands up when you come to sell.

No. Block exemption rules mean the warranty stands at an independent garage as long as the Renault schedule is followed and the parts are of matching quality, which is how we work. Warranty repairs and recalls are paid for by Renault and go to a dealer.
The 1.5 dCi is a good engine with one weakness: its crankshaft bearings wear quickly on old or incorrect oil, and a spun bearing usually means a replacement engine. We change the oil at the right interval with the grade Renault specifies and check the cambelt date at the same visit.
Usually. It is most often the battery in the card, then the card itself, then the reader in the dashboard. We test each in turn and tell you which it is before quoting, so you are not paying for a new card the car did not need.
On the EDC automatic it is often the dual clutch, which can judder and hesitate at low speed as it wears. On a manual it is more likely the clutch or the flywheel. We diagnose which before quoting for anything.
