Renault vehicle service and maintenance will be carried out through official Lada dealerships, with genuine Renault components available at these locations. The logistics are being coordinated by one of AVTOVAZ’s subsidiaries, which will engage directly with Renault to ensure a smooth supply chain for parts and service operations. This arrangement marks a formal integration of Renault servicing within the dealer network operated by Lada, aligning maintenance standards with authorized procedures and ensuring technicians have access to authentic Renault parts and diagnostic tools as needed.
The publication Behind the Wheel confirmed that Renault maintenance and repair work is already underway at a Lada dealership and that there is no shortage of original parts, including electronics, despite sanctions that affect some imports. While Renault itself may face constraints on supplying certain spare parts under sanctions, AVTOVAZ’s subsidiary can import sanctioned components into Russia without hindrance, enabling continued service quality and part availability for Renault customers through its network. This setup highlights how authorized channels and strategic partnerships can maintain repair and parts supply continuity under evolving regulatory conditions, helping owners rely on genuine components during routine service or more complex repairs.
Za Rulem, a long-standing and widely read automotive publication in Russia, noted that some Lada dealers are negotiating with Chinese manufacturers to broaden the lineup available in the market. The goal of these negotiations appears to be establishing dealer agreements with brands such as Geely, reflecting a broader strategy to diversify product offerings and strengthen the distribution network. In parallel, the dealer network recently received a fresh batch of Renault vehicles for sale, including the last remaining units from a closed Moscow factory, reinforcing the brand’s ongoing presence within the national market. Expanding the dealer network remains a central objective for boosting sales in any region. Given that Chinese automakers can maintain steady deliveries to Russia, more dealerships are likely to offer vehicles sourced from China, broadening consumer choices and market competitiveness.
