I have sent three emails to the "Contact Us" link on SCOA web site, and I have not received any replies so I will ask the same question here. After discovering the closest dealer to me is a six hour round trip to Charleston SC, I cancelled the reservation I had made for my Smart Car. I would love to get my wife one of these cars, but not if I have to spend six hours on the road to visit the dealership. My question was, does SCOA plan on licensing outside vendors to perform maintenance and warranty work?
