Renault and Dacia Open Their Online Accessory Shops

Dacia and Renault have opened their e-commerce sites dedicated to selling accessories. The vast catalog includes 800 items.

You love your Renault or Dacia and, without falling into the extremes of tuning, you think some accessories could enhance your car. But to find the sunshade, storage bins, or the dream roof rack, apart from the unnamed Chinese sites, there’s nothing, zero, nada…

Similarly, you are handy and a small change of brake pads, headlights, or filters doesn’t scare you. Better yet, you think it’s a good way to save some money while keeping yourself occupied on weekends, and we completely share that opinion. But like us, just a glance at the accessory catalog with the diamond logo gives you a pounding headache and kills any motivation you had. With classifications by model, production date, model year—which is not necessarily the production date and vice versa—and by trim, finding a part is a nightmare that leaves you mentally unscathed. One has to wonder if manufacturers don’t do everything to dissuade us from working on our own cars and force us to go through the dealership…

Renault and Dacia go digital…

But times are changing, garages are closing, and DIY (pronounced “D-I-Y”) is the new trendy acronym. Not familiar? DIY stands for “Do it yourself”! And for that, the sites “ The Originals Renault Store Accessories ” and “The Originals Dacia Store Accessories” are here to meet your needs.

Both sites offer a simplified search method by VIN. This “Vehicle Identification Number” is a unique identification code for vehicles established in 1954. You will find it easily in box E of your vehicle registration certificate. After that, you just have to browse through the different sections. Home delivery is guaranteed within three working days, and all items come with a 1-year warranty for parts and labor. But why labor if you install them yourself? If you have overestimated your mechanic skills, you can get an estimate for the installation from a member of the dealership network and make an appointment.
