Eladttom Posted December 16, 2024 Author Share Posted December 16, 2024 Guess I'll start looking for lube before I go to the stealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 We used to have a list of shops that were good with smart cars. Unfortunately that was something we lost with the recent upgrade. Troy Wilson Automotive is the shop in eastern Ontario that would be a good alternative to the dealer. https://www.troywilsonautomotive.com/ Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eladttom Posted December 17, 2024 Author Share Posted December 17, 2024 I'll check it out,thx I almost bought the lube lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willys Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 Do a search for someone with a STAR machine that'll do keys. I have one but it stopped doing keys recently. The dealership near me demands $456 for each key to be cut and programed...!!!! That was one reason I bought my own STAR machine from Ebay......it will pay for itself in a short time if you have more people who need keys programed.....going price is $100 a key. Any hardware store who cuts keys can cut the key then you need the star to re-program the fob. You need to do all keys at the same time when you do it or you will only have the new key that works. That is how they screw you over as you always want two working fobs!!!! Just saying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eladttom Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Well just thought I would let guys know that I found someone to deal with my all keys lost situation. After calling multiple places I found a place in Ottawa called Modwagen and dealt with Matthew Socha 613-747-5397 or contact@modwagen.com or check his site out https://www.modwagen.com/ , guy was super chill, cheap and easy to deal with. If you hit him up tell him I sent ya, green and black CDI with 2" lift. Well thx for the help, happy I have my beater back on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willys Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Excellent news and thanks for the contact information, I'm sure others will be in contact with him. Can I ask what did he use to get the fobs reprogramed? I'm always curious to see if someone has figured out a better way other than the STAR system or is it still the only way. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eladttom Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 I tried to get specifics on his equipment and kinda gave me the answer that it's constantly evolving and he has multiple devices. From what I could see it was a autel hand held tablet and he had another device in series with the obd2. It's was in the dark last night so couldn't see much. Sorry wish I had more info.
