Independent near Reading?
« on: March 05, 2011, 10:29:14 AM »
Having just acquired my Forfour from a private sale, it needs an A service (1 spanner). Should I use an independent Smart garage, a Smart main dealer, or local garage who I've always used for my old car? Local garage say they have access too manufactures servicing schedule etc.

Thanks in advance.

Rob @ s2smart.co.uk is worth the short trip to Rickmansworth/Watford, and he is only charging £99 !
Plus he has a nice chill out area (widescreen TV, DVD, wi-fi) and with free tea and coffee :)
(and biscuits... if he hasn't eaten them all...tehe)

Cheers guys, booked in with local garage after talking to the owner etc and getting a 'warm' feeling that they knew what they were doing. Might go to s2smart for a B service? Well might as well get the service while I'm there trying out their chill out area!  ;D

There is a mobile independant MB/Smart specialist based in Bracknell who is MB trained and has Star diagnostics on the back of his van - very happy with him.

Any idea of their name?

Had a quick search on google, is this them? Mercanix Mobile Mercedes-Benz And Smart Car Specialists http://www.mercanix.co.uk/

Also found http://starmotorservices.co.uk/ but they don't say anything about Smart car servicing!

For all my sin's I didn't use them and ended up using a local garage, who were far too expensive and not really up to the task!

For my B service I will definitely be using Mercanix.
