Tire Wear & Roof Checking
Is anyone else having these problems?
Tires - I recently had to replace my front tires at 20,000 miles due to cupping and excess wear on the inside. I had a four wheel alignnment performed ($99.95!?) which showed the front end only slightly out on one side, not nearly enough to have caused the wear. Could this be a design or specification problem?
Roof - The plastic roof panel has developed a "checking" problem all over. These are little cracks throughout the panel that… Continue

Smart Stories from Julie's Garage - January 15, 2010
It happened. My nightmare. My Smart car, Maxwell, was hit.
On my way home from work on Wednesday, January 13th, I was in a line of cars waiting for a red light (I was 5th or 6th in line) when I looked into my rearview mirror and saw a car coming up behind me. I could see the top of the driver's head, which told me he was texting!
I watched in horror and realized he wasn't looking up to check the road. 'Crap,' I thought. 'He's not going to stop.'… Continue

I took my purple smart car to a hand car wash in LA a couple weeks ago. It was the first smart car to go through their car wash. I could tell because the workers didn't know how to handel it exactly. They poked fun at how small it was and acted like they could pick it up. It was amusing. I think that the next time a smart car goes through their car wash they will not be so surprised. I'm just glad I was the one to pop their smart car cherry. ;-P

Tampa Smart Center
I just had my first flat tire, true to my luck it busted the rim at the same time. I though I was extremely fortunate because it happened in Tamps 4 Miles from the Smart Center, boy was I wrong. I guess I'm a little spoiled because I've dealt with the Orange Park (JAX) location and the facility Is impeccable and the service top notch but Not all Mercedes dealerships are built the same.
