Trying to get service in Tacoma - 2005 smart

I'm really glad to find a Smart community. I have a 2005 Passion but am having trouble finding someone to service it in Tacoma. I checked with the dealer in Tukwila but they said they don't service cars "that old." Does anyone have suggestions for reliable service? Thanks, Pat

Good thinking Don.

Pat, over in your neck of the woods are a couple 450'ers I've met: smartie yank (Dan) and micromachine (Todd). Send them a pm.

The dealer in Seattle is only there to support the new 451's. There are probably many small foreign car repair shops in the area- lots of old Volvos, Mercedes, VWs still running around the area. I'll bet you can find a place like that.

Though he's only working with 451's that I know of, you might even try smartune (Dan), one of our supporting vendors.

Green Car Co. in Bellevue sold the G&K converted smart cars, and they still service them and carry some parts and accessories. See them at Green Car Company

I'm working towards being able to service cars at my location, all I need is a lift and new compressor (on the way, soon!)

Let me know if you need any assistance finding someone to service your car in the area


Best,

-Dan

Smart Service

Just FYI...smart center Portland and smart center Denver will service all smart cars regardless of their age!

smart center Portland - smart fortwo - Official smart center website – new smart car – pre-owned smart car – smart car finance – smart car service
503.200.5200

smart center Denver - smart fortwo - Official smart center website – new smart car – pre-owned smart car – smart car finance – smart car service
303.597.6278

The original smart car owners are the "pioneers" and we need to make sure we keep them in the family and take care of their servicing needs, IMHO.

Wow! Very nice to see that - most smart centers want nothing to do with the 450s. Good on 'ya!

Trang, I'm pleasantly surprised! Good decision I would think for those few 450'ers around. Too bad scSEA doesn't see it that way...
