Or anyone else who's familiar with Smarts. Where do you get service done? Are there any alternatives to the MB dealerships? My 05s in at MB Burlington right now for a water pump/alt belt replacement (it was squealing like a pig in heat) and they're saying there's a slight fuel leak at one of the lines, but quoting me $900 to fix it! I've tried getting hold of a shop called Supersmart, apparently in Oakville, but the guy never answers his phone or returns emails.

Did you see the leak for yourself? Dealership = Stealership
I don't think any fuel line should cost $900 unless the motor needs to come out to do it.

I'm looking into DIY. I just wish there was a Pelican equivalent for Smarts. There are several forums, and one awesome tech site, but nothing on my specific problem.

I just had mine serviced at the dealer. The one big item, (a known weakness) was a blown turbo, at 13,000km. The car was about five years old and out of warranty, and it was a $2k tab,,,,,,

It's a bloody money pit. 98k total, 12 of which are mine. In that time, I've put about 2k into it, plus brake pads which I did myself. I had to replace the door handles, for crying out loud. They're known as a bad design on 450 models. Now this. If one more thing breaks, i'm going to burn it.
Door handles! Christ.
