New Renault Pro+ Centre in North Dublin


On 1 June, Dennehy Commercials will open a new Renault Pro+centre at Unit 802, Northwest Business Park, Blanchardstown, Co Dublin, writes Trish Whelan. It is convenient to all arterial routes, M50, N2, N3 and within the Dublin Enterprize Zone. 

This standalone facility joins an elite club of autonomous Pro+ centres, becoming one of only ten in the world. This will be the second such centre in Ireland with the first one opened in Cork city less than two years ago.

The dealership will be fully dedicated to business and fleet customers only. As Dublin’s only dedicated Pro+ centre, it will ensure that Renault’s business customers benefit from the full range of Renault services under one roof.

The Pro+ standards ensure that the aftersales team are completely dedicated to business customer needs, account managers are put in place for larger fleets, commercial vehicle maintenance and repair made available for vehicles up to 5 tonne’ and extended opening hours for business users. Dennehy’s will open their servicing facility at hours that will suit business operators with 7am starts running until 8pm finishes each evening and also Saturday opening owners. 

The Pro+ standards ensure that the dealership operates as a one stop shop with all solutions available onsite for commercial customers. The very knowledgeable fleet sales team is trained to provide guidance on all transport solutions including converted vehicles tailored to precise requirements, specific vehicles such as ambulances, box bodies, curtainsiders, fridge units and crew cabs can all be delivered and many will be made available onsite at Dennehy’s for demo purposes. In partnership with Renault Bank, finance offers are facilitated onsite. Dennehy’s also operate both a short and long term hire department.

The Dennehy name is well established for 45 years with expertise in both Heavy and Light commercial vehicles throughout Ireland. Its first dealership opened in 1975 operating the HINO franchise out of Cork and this progressed in time with Dennehy Commercials taking on the MAN and Renault Truck franchises for the South West of Ireland. In 2012, Dennehy Motors became the proud holders of the Renault and Dacia brands for Limerick and were granted regional dealer responsibility for the south west of Ireland.

Late 2012, it was awarded the Pro+ franchise for Limerick in recognition of the dealership’s ability and expertise in dealing with business customers. In 2014, the Limerick dealership was awarded National Renault LCV Dealer of the Year; in 2015 it was awarded Renault National Dealer of the Year, and in 2018 it took home four prestigious awards - National Renault Fleet Dealer of the Year, National Renault Bank Financial Services Dealer of the Year, National Territory Dealer of the Year, National Voice of the Customer Dealer of the Year.
