Welcome to the site known worldwide as evilution.
The site dedicated to almost everything about smart cars.
I haven’t been around for a couple of weeks as I’ve been away for my 50th birthday
I am now old. FACT!
I’ve had some busy weekends doing non-smart stuff because people are insisting that I socialise. I went to the BHP Show at Detling. There wasn’t a single smart car there. Then I went to Alton Towers just to find out that I can’t do rollercoasters any more. I felt worse and worse as I got off each ride. Then I went on The Smiler. I came off that absolutely done. I felt hungover until the next day. It absolutely destroyed me.
Then this coming weekend I have to waste an entire Friday because smart/Mercedes at Lakeside in Essex who used to be owned by Jardine Motors who were ok but they were bought by Stratstone who are utter fucking gobshites. I went onto their website to arrange a service on my #1. It wouldn’t accept my reg or VIN. So I drove to the dealer to explain that I needed a service, a safety recall and a firmware update.
I was told that they can’t arrange servicing at the dealer! What the actual fuck? I got given a shit scrap of paper with a phone number to call. So I spoke to smart via Whatsapp. They said they would contact Lakeside Merc and have them email me. 2 days later I got an email from smart Germany saying Merc Lakeside wouldn’t contact me and I’d have to phone the number. I feel like we have gone back in time 20 years.
So I phoned the number and was on hold for 10 minutes. Eventually got through and told them I need a service, recall and firmware update. They knew nothing about the recall and the updates are over-the-air (like I didn’t already know that). I work during the week like most people do. Guess what, they don’t do recalls on a weekend. (it takes 5 minutes to add the fix). I told them Friday and they said they had booked me in and were about to hang up. I asked when my slot was to be told “drop off at 8:30am and pick up at 18:00”. FUCK OFF! What the fuck am I supposed to do for over 9 hours? Absolute clowns. I will never use any Stratstone Mercedes dealers again for any servicing. I would rather drive well out of my way and use a different franchise who won’t treat me like a cunt.
