Renault Retail Group is opening nine new fast-fit branches this year following the success of the existing sites in Renault Retail branches across the UK.

The fast-fit banner has already been added to Renault Retail sites in London city, London East, Cardiff, Leicester, Cannock, Liverpool and Bolton. This year’s expansion will now cover the Renault Retail dealerships at Oldham, Wirral, Swansea, Wolverhampton, Slough, Watford, Orpington, Dartford, and Croydon.

Prior to that, the group had successfully operated Renault Minute facilities within its flagship branches of London West, Birmingham and Manchester.

Renault Retail said the new sites where one of the ways it will improve its after sales service as outlined by the Renault Commitment 2009.

Ian Plummer, managing director, Renault Retail Group said: “Renault Minute is an integral part of Renault Retail as the fast-fit service arm is vital to help improve both profit and customer service standards in after sales and reflects the direction the service business is taking.

“Our private and business customers are finding that time is at a premium, so the fast-fit option meets a growing need for a flexible and convenient level of service desired by customers. These additional Renault Minute outlets will ensure existing sites are even more efficient, using available land to best effect and ensuring we continue to give our customers – and staff - the right experience.”
