A year ago I was the proud recipient of the second Smart delivered by Smartcenter of Beverly Hills. The car performed flawlessly - until last Tuesday. I was on my way to the airport and stopped for gas. When I shifted the selector into gear, the car did not really care. It just sat there and the engine revved. I tried to push it, and the transmission was locked. I called my dealer because I knew there was roadside service, but I did not know the number. The receptionist picked up the phone and I asked for roadside assistance and she patched me through to a number. From the way they picked up on the other end, I did not think it was the right number. I was a bit upset and closing in on missing my plane, so I called back again, and again, I was patched through to the same number. Very, noticeably upset at this point, I asked for the number so I could dial. She gave me 800.762.7882. I dialed the number and once again heard:
"Let our Horny Girls show you a good time baby . . . "
Now, I am a car guy. I grew up with AAA road side service and my grandfather joined the auto club in Detroit over 70 years ago. I thought I knew would roadside service was, but Smart seems to have redefined it. While I appreciate their perspective on stress relief, at the time, I would have much preferred a tow truck.
