A lot of owners of cars such as Peugeot, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Renault and even Porsche tend to steer away from the higher costs of dealership servicing once the vehicle is out of warranty. That has led to the establishment of a raft of specialists in particular brands who are not factory dealerships. So, the trick is to find such a specialist independent workshop and take the car there.
Such a workshop should have all the test gear and service equipment, not to mention model-specific know-how, to tackle any job (including this one) without the hourly rate of a factory dealership with its higher overheads.

It's always a good idea to check where your car would be serviced before buying it. There isn't always local service coverage with some brands, which could mean you have to drive long distances to have it worked on when needed. The best thing you can do is to contact Renault directly and explain your dilemma to them, and hope that they respond favourably to your request.
