Yesterday I drove over to Smart Tecnic for a check over before MOT. Ben and Jack inspected the old gal and identified a few issues.
Centre rear brake light had 2 blown bulbs so was replaced with an LED version. Front screenwash jet was dismantled and cleared. Drivers side front shock needed the correct top mount so was replaced. Belt was badly worn, split in 3 places so was replaced. All looked good so off to the MOT station.
Unfortunately it failed on a rusty/leaking nearside brake pipe and advisory on surface rust. Ben and Jack couldn't find any leaks and a 22 year old smart is bound to have some degree of surface rust. Not sure why this particular tester was so anal over Scratchy, perhaps he didn't like the paintwork!
So Jack worked like a demon fitting a new brake line and sorting the surface rust. After bleeding the system it was taken back to the station. The same chap insisted on another thorough check over but passed it clean with no advisories.
I can't begin to describe the exemplary service I received. It was above first class, these guys know smarts inside out! Jack wasn't happy with the brake pedal travel so bled the system again and I'm happy to report the brakes are working fine. During the day I had a chat with four customers, some had travelled a great distance because Smart Tecnic's reputation is unequalled. I was also extremely happy with the final invoice! They offer very fair prices and service plans.
If you own a smart, local or not quite so local I can vouch you'll be very impressed with the service!

Have to let all you Smarties know about this garage. Absolutely fantastic service from the guys there! My little green Smart was very poorly. Loss of power, clutch issues, needing service and MOT. I arranged for her to be delivered on a flat bed as she wouldn?t make the drive from Leicester to Digbeth. The guys worked their magic and got her running like new! Even had a new bonnet put on because the price was very reasonable for the work needed. If you have any problems with your Smart, this is the place to go! Thank you so much guys! She handled the drive back home wonderfully although I wish I?d had the air con done haha! That was a hot drive!

Came to the garage over a month ago as I had damaged my convertible roof quite badly and the roof would not close including the buttons. I honestly thought I would need a completely new roof but within an hour ben and his colleague got the roof back on and I was over the moon. He said someone was coming to the garage in a couple of weeks and he would be able to fix the actual mechanics of the roof so I brought my car back and they spent the whole day sorting out fixing it and now it works completely fine and I couldn't be happier especially with the weather. Thank you guys so much, definitely will come back if I have to, hopfully not anytime soon?

I can't thank Ben and his team enough, great service and refreshing to talk to someone who clearly know what they are doing regarding Smart cars. My roadster is fixed and ready for the road.
I highly recommend Smart Technic for any servicing or repairs you may need.

Ben and his staff are the go-to Smart car team in the Midlands and beyond. What they don't know about the marque isn't worth knowing. ???

Had the auxiliary drive belt pulley on the engine crack and the belt came off. This drives the alternator/starter and water pump. Car overheating warning light came on. Ben accepted the car in via RAC recovery and new pulley and belts fitted same day. Was very relieved the engine was saved as was worried it overheated. Very impressed with the knowledge and competency of this garage. All the reviews on Google are accurate - a great place to bring your Smart to keep it on the road, and will be back.
