3D STEPS UP TO THE RENAULT CHALLENGE
Dealing with motor manufacturers can be quite a challenge for companies operating
in the auto locksmith sector, as Dean Sanderson of the 3D Group explained:
“Around two years ago, we felt the
need to set up a meeting with Renault
France after they halted our supply
of Renault cards. Renault said they
believed that only Renault machines
were able to programme these cards and
had decided that supplying to us was a
security issue,” Dean said.
“In this initial meeting, we showed
Renault that there are several machines
that can program their Renault key cards such as the Truecode. We explained that if
‘They seemed unsure that we
could program the key cards…’

THE SEP/OCT 2014 ISSUE
SPONSORED BY ADVANCED KEYS
they stopped supplying the genuine cards,
then the Chinese aftermarket versions
would become dominant in the market
and in the long run, Renault would lose
out on sales of key cards.
“They agreed that it was in their best
interest, and that of security, to continue
the supply; but they were in disbelief
and seemed a little unsure that we were
capable of programming the key cards.
Fast forward to today and we have
confirmed another meeting with Renault
France.
“The main aim of this coming meeting
is to prove to them that there are
machines that can program their cards
(demonstrations in suits will be required
I am sure!) In return for our expert
knowledge, we are hoping that we will be
able to talk to them about fast tracking our
supply chain.”
We wish you ‘bon chance’ Dean, and
,
will update readers on a hopefully positive
outcome.
Meanwhile, Dean is continuing to
develop their new trade website and
their marketing team is finalising some
exclusive ALEX show offers – with
discounts on almost all of their stock
range on orders placed at the show - and
they will also be running the popular
GeeKey Advice service.
