Renault is set to expand its 'on the spot' servicing offer, Renault Minute, to include a further 13 centres at Renault dealerships across the UK by the end of 2003.

Renault Minute is currently available at 37 Renault dealers and offers customers 'on-the-spot' servicing for Renault cars, and for light commercial vehicles at some participating dealers. It is anticipated that there will be a noticeable increase in profitability for the Renault dealer network on the back of the new sites.

Selisik Ergin, Director, Services & Quality for Renault UK, said; "We believe Renault Minute is the future of aftersales in the UK for many customers, and it has been instrumental in attracting customers back to our dealerships."

The expansion of the Renault Minute programme has also led to the appointment of David Orriell to the team at Renault UK head office. He will be responsible for participating Renault Minute dealers within the north of the UK.
