Smart Brabus 2005 - Repair Bill - DTAL

Car temperature reaching max diagnosed needing new thermostat and water pump. Alternator also cracked. No engine test done. Paid for repairs. Few days later, same problem with temperature gauge and diagnosed head gasket blown, after engine test. Advice needed for not paying for duplicated work, guide for hours to be paid please that would avoid duplication.

The only thing smart about these cars is the badge.Any repairs are outrageously expensive for such a small car.Btw,how many of these cars do you have with the same overheating problem????It may be cheaper to source a s/hand engine.

Agree.

Only the one Smart (which incidently I love to drive) and two Mercs. All go to the same dealer garage for servicing etc that I've used for 25 years.

Touch wood, Smart sorted now (holds breath).......................
