ALLEN RENAULT EARNS ITS RACING STRIPES BY BECOMING RENAULTSPORT SPECIALIST
Renault dealer Allen in Northampton collected a special award this week after the dealership was officially recognised as a Renaultsport Specialist.
The recognition was presented by Renault UK and now sees the Fairground Way dealership on the Riverside Retail Park offer its customers a dedicated Renaultsport centre, providing hot hatch fans with all their Renaultsport needs in one place.
Alongside the dealership’s existing Renault services, motorists will be able to access all three award-winning Renaultsport models as well as call upon the expert knowledge and advice of Renaultsport Sales Expert Floyd Guthrie, himself an enthusiast of the French brand’s iconic performance arm.
Together with Floyd, Aftersales Expert Alex Baskerville, will help provide customers with a bespoke Renaultsport after-care service handling all servicing, accessory and merchandise requests.
What’s more, both Floyd and Alex can be contacted direct via phone or email by new or existing customers to help answer any general Renaultsport queries they may have or to receive expert advice on either past or present models.
The current Renaultsport range comprises of the flagship Mégane Renaultsport 250, the Clio Renaultsport 200 and the Twingo Renaultsport 133. For the second consecutive year, all three models have won ‘Best Hot Hatch’ in each of their respective price categories in the annual What Car? Car of the Year awards with the Mégane Renaultsport 250 winning the overall ‘Best Hot Hatch’ of the year – again for the second year in a row.
Indeed, the popularity of the Renaultsport range is clear to see with last year’s worldwide sales seeing an increase of 78% (on 2009) with UK dealers only second to France in terms of total global sales.
Floyd, Renaultsport Sales Expert at the dealership, said: “We’re really looking forward to showing customers around the Renaultsport range as we know they’re going to be just as impressed with them as we are...and the UK’s motoring press for that matter.
“It helps having some great driving roads just outside Northampton too, as well as race tracks like Silverstone, Donington Park and Rockingham, allowing owners to experience the full potential of the Renaultsport range and how impressive they are both on the road and the race track.”
Renaultsport Aftersales Expert Alex said: “Our Renaultsport service extends right from the initial test drive through to caring for your Renaultsport five, ten, fifteen years from now. All Renaultsport models are highly-tuned machines requiring that expert touch and genuine Renault parts so our approved workshop caters for just that.”
General Manager Paul Thompson added: “As part of our celebrations, we’re inviting local Renaultsport owners – be it an original Renaultsport Spider to a brand new Mégane Renaultsport 250 – to drop by the dealership for a free, no appointment, safety check for their car.”
