Just called my local Renault dealer hoping to speak to someone in the parts department, but apparently, they no longer accept telephone calls!! Is this standard practice now? Manufacturer supported agents just have no interest in aftersales anymore?

Don't suppose anyone works at Renault here?

Could be that specific dealer franchise is in admininstration (or about to go into administration?) and not taking customer calls?

Tried another Renualt main dealer? Did you get the same response?

I don't see why they wouldn't be.

I work for Renault, what do you need?

Phones are electric, and it's Renault.

Its just the parts department that aren't taking calls. All my local dealers are part of the same group, although I haven't yet had time to call others.

Trying to find out if 7700827555 is still available. It's a long shot, but I figured it was worth a try.

Sorry, it was an attempt at humour based on the old "Renault electrics are unreliable" trope.

Good luck with finding your tail lights!

Sutton Park no longer take calls, everything goes via a call centre who take messages. It's a bit hit and miss.

Thank you. Unfortunately, the ones on ebay seem to have the same number of studs broken off as ours!
