When does warrenty run out?



Our 182 is about to hit 36,000 miles. So it's up for its third service. Thing is, does the warranty run out at 3 years (it's only a year old) or after 36,000 miles? If it runs out at 36,000 miles, we won't bother paying Renault prices for the service - better to take it to a cheaper (and more trustworthy) local garage.

Any advice appreciated.

I had my 1.2 16v dynamique serviced at 18k at my dads mates VAT registered garage only cost £60 inc parts, reno wanted £140, my car has been in a few times for different warranty work since then.....its now on 22,300 and having the throttle body replaced this week under warranty and no one has mentioned anything about servicing at renault, i've got exactly 12 months of warranty left on mine.

To be honest Shaun if you get it serviced at a garage you trust more than reno all you have to do is make sure they use genuine reno parts and they can't refuse you warranty work, you can actually buy a service kit from reno, oil filter, sump plug washer, 5W40 fully synthetic oil (elf excellium) as recommended by reno, air filter, polen filter and whatever else the 182 requires for its 36k they'll sell over the counter to you at your local dealership parts department.

Hope this helps, Alan.
 
Agree with 16vClio.

I had my 182 done locally at VAT registered garage with parts bought from dealer saved £140! I have also had warrenty work done since.

Checked all this was OK with Renault UK via website they confirmed it was.

At the end of the day charging £260 (Sutton Park Renault Coventry) for oil and filters change is taking the piss.
 
Thanks for the advice, guys. I don't fancy putting my car through the local Renault dealer, with its 18 year old mechanics. I've seen the way they drive the between the car park and the workshop. It's like a 30 metre drive, and they generally do it flat out in first!

I'll check out the prices for the local garage.
