Looking for Smart garage in Stoke On Trent
« on: August 01, 2017, 11:20:03 AM »

Hi,

I'm looking for a garage in the Stoke on Trent area to srvice my ForFour. I don't want to use the main dealer. Can anyone suggest a garage/person who specialises in Smarts.

Cheers :-)

have you thought about servicing yourself?

its v v v easy and would cost you tens of £

failing that, its just a normal car so any garage can do it. look for one with offers

Slight issue/problem with you answer there JJ....
The owner has an AMT, and that means that it needs a visit
at least once a year (at service time) to someone with a
genuine Star diagnostic's machine to correctly set up the
clutch drag and bite points.
No other diagnostic's machine can do that, so it has to be
done either by a Smart specialist, or at an MB dealer.
MB charge about double just for plugging the Star into
the car compared to an Indie who will charge about £45-£60
for plugging in and adjusting the clutch.
