Thank you Nigel! I appreciate your understanding. You are very kind.

Thanks everyone for your replies and special thanks to Leadwing for directions and photos. I hope you can all understand why a woman like me might be concerned about meeting a strange man at an unmarked warehouse in an industrial area of London Ontario two hours from where I live in Toronto. Glenn did PM me and told me that he was tired of trying to sell himself to me and he told me to goto a Mercedes dealership instead. I never considered how sensitive and offended a man would become just because I asked him a few questions. Good Lord.

That wasn't my experience with Smart142 (aka Glenn) at all. He reached out to me using private message and solicited his nameless hidden repair shop to me and when I asked him a few reasonable questions before I would agree to meet a stranger at a remote unmarked warehouse he told me he was tired of trying to sell himself to me and told me to go to a Mercedes dealer instead. Talk about RUDE!

No shop name and inside a warehouse ? Seems sketchy in my opinion.

Whats a good fair price to pay to have brakes replaced on my smart and an oil change? Mercedes wants too much in my opinion and they are rude about it too.

Whats the name of the auto shop in London ontario? The uncle glen guy pm'd me an address of 825 cabell street but there are 2 shops on that street and im not sure which one it is.

Mercedes is horrible for service and repairs. I'm going to go bald from pulling out my hair in frustration. Its as if Mercedes just doesn't care about Smart car owners. In my experience with Mercedes (which has been terrible) they do not seem to know how to fix even the simplest issue. I desperately need a SMART car mechanic that knows what they are doing !! PLEASE HELP !!

Today I was driving along when suddenly my SMART just turned off completely and I had to pull over. There were 3 horizontal lines showing on the dash display. I then turned the key and it started and drove normally. What the heck was that? Has anyone else experienced this before?

Hi and welcome 614NK. Very nice! Where can someone buy the body add-ons for a smart car like yours? I wish mine looked like that!

Hi smartnhappy I think you are absolute correct

Thanks Leadwing for all that information. You seem to be a smart car guru lol. My smart car needs a few things and it takes so long to heat up in the winter but I still love it. I'm not sure I like the new shape as much as mine. The new ones look kind of boxy and not as cute as mine in my opinion. I'm planning to take a new one out for a test drive next week. Will let you know how it goes.

Thanks everyone for the awesome welcome Mike T - your comment about Smart is soon to be an orphaned brand in Canada has me a little worried - whats going on with Smart in Canada?

I just discovered Club Smart ! I wish I had found out about it sooner. I am the proud owner of a diesel 2006 Smart Fortwo and I love it. Its great for life in Toronto Canada. Its super easy to park and I almost never have to go to the gas station lol. I am trying to decide whether or not to trade it in for a new one. Any suggestions?
