Will My Warranty Be Void Now
- Thread starter mcyates
- Start date
get it done at a indy garage half the price, write a letter to reno with some sob story, you never know.....they might allo wthe warrenty to carry on with cetain exceptions... i.e the things that would be done on the service, anything associated with them are not covered by the warrenty till the next service interval etc...
moral of the story though, its not just buying a car.. its the running costs.....

*not an official idea*
Phone renault uk and tell them you were advised it was 18,000 miles between services and you have missed the service grace because of this.
Then ask if your warranty is still valid.
Then purchase the service parts (about £50 ish) and get the service done by a cheaper local place.
If you cant do this then id wave goodbye to warranty.
(BTW mine has had over £8000 worth of warranty work according to renault)
Sinclair C5
i bought my clio and its second service had been missed by 5k, One dealer i phoned said the warranty was void another said there was no problem,
Shop around mate.
Renault Laguna Coupe
Personally I wouldnt do anything to draw attention to it. Renault dont hold a central register of whos had a service done at what mileage etc. Just get it serviced (anywhere) and if you get a problem down the line, take the car to your dealer and ask them to fix it.
The other way round - on my Si which had different servicing intervals, I had the free 6k mile safety check done then the dealer told me it needed servicing at 12k, when I went to pick the car up they tried to charge me as they said the service wasnt due till 18k and I refused saying it was them that told me it needed servcing at 12k. I got it free.
my girlfriends dynamic is on 26k and has only ever had one service which was carried out by my brother (all service parts from renault). anyway her clio broke down about a month ago and was towed to a renault garage and repaired (coil pack and spark plugs). all work was covered by warranty, according to their comupters it said it wasnt due a service for another 6 months.

Agree, the first service doesnt exactly cost much either!

Well my car is costing me £400 per month and i have loans which are £550 per month and it leaves me with about 200 per month to live off!!
Perhaps you should sell it and pay off some debts then.
Sorry my friend, but it sounds like youre living beyond your means. I would sell the car or get on the phone to whoever youve leased it from.
