55.0. "renault" by LARVAE::DELANY () Tue Nov 08 1988 13:40

    Can anyone tell me if there is a Renault dealer in
    Basingstoke. If so, have you got the location and
    phone number.
    
    I've looked in the phone directory, but the only
    available one is out of date, and the number given
    is unobtainable.

    
    Regards,
    Stephen

    got a duff terminal]

55.1Basingstoke is without!!!LARVAE::MUIRMy dingkom for a shroe!Tue Nov 08 1988 16:3111
    
    
    No renault dealer in Basingstoke.
    
    Newbury, Reading, Aldershot...... but not Basingstoke.
    
    There is however a Renault bodyshop, but if you are after a service
    for your little motor beastie or even a gander at a future prospect
    then the news is all bad.

55.2Mekanix ?LOOKIN::BUNNBug in DEC QUI Electrical function (CCD quote)Wed Nov 09 1988 10:2314
    Mekanix is a possible source of Renault spares. They specialise
    in service/repair of Renaults (but I've never used them). When getting
    desperate for a part for my R5 however I gave them a buzz, and
    was told they could order parts from Weldale/Wheelers for me - 
    same day deleivery if you phone before 10:00 !
    
    I never actually tried the service, but could beat a trip to
    Reading/Newbury for that essential spare part. 
    
    Number is  : Basingstoke 841695
    
    No recommendations yet, but try them & report back ?

55.3THERE IS RENAULT GARAGE IN BASINGSTOKE42721::HORSNELLWed Aug 02 1989 11:5715
    Just to let you know there is a Renault Garage in Basingstoke,
    for service and repairs only (it doesn't sell them).  It is
    called Mekanix and is situated on the Old Reading Road off the
    Tesco's roundabout.  It is a small privately run garage, but
    for all you comapny car owners I'm afraid it does not take 
    PHH or Hertz cards at present.
                                                           
    I had my car serviced there yesterday and can highly recommend
    them for the quality of the work done and the cost was very
    reasonable too!
             
    If your interested their number is Basingstoke 841695.

55.4Official?CURRNT::SAXBYIt's ONLY University Challenge!Wed Aug 30 1989 10:098
    
    Are they a Renault approved dealer?
    
    I'm looking for a different place to have my Renault serviced next
    time and they would be reasonably convenient, but the warranty insists
    that it's a Renault approved servicer.

55.5"Approval" LARVAE::HORSNELLWed Aug 30 1989 12:1014
    
    No I am afraid they are not 'approved' dealers for Renault -
    they say they can't do services under warranty, because it
    would muck your guarantee up, but after your car is out of
    its guarantee period they would be able to service it etc.
    
    If you are stuck for parts etc, they would be able to supply 
    them on the day as they have a delivery in the morning and
    the afternoon from Renault in Newbury (thats if the part is
    in stock!).
    
    Hope this helps.
