Phoenix area 2005 Service

[tulip999]

We have a 2005 TwoFour and need some engine service, might be just simple oil change; might be more.
Anyone know any repair shop in the Phoenix areaa that will work on them? The US dealers are being just short of rude about not touching or servicing any function of these cars.
Grrr.....

The car you have is not a twofour or a 2008/9 Fourtwo. You have what is called a smart 450 that was not made to be sold in the US. Some were federalized by a company called ZAP in california. Their engines are Mercedes-Benz built units. Here in Florida the owners of these orphans have had best luck with service at Benz dealers. I've included a link to find your closest Mercedes-Benz service center. Good Luck.

Hi Tulip999,

You do have a dealer in your area that specializes in the 450 model you own. Contact Tim Day at 602-318-4211. Tim is one of two or three dealers in the country that can also replace a 450 key if you ever require one. Key replacements are not cheap, but Tim should be able to meet that need. Tell him I told you to call. If you can't find him there, or if you have questions that he can't answer, let me know. I'll provide you resources and websites to take care of nearly every problem you may have. There are 1026 of these converted Mercedes engine smart cars in this country and there are folks who are very intelligent in the troubleshooting and general assistance areas. Enjoy your littler (by 7") smart car!
