Visiting the Smartcars workshop
I’ve previously bought spare parts for my old Smart Fortwo coupe, from the garage smartcars.dk, but this is the first time I have used their garage. Actually I tried to contact them, back when I had issues with my Lambda sensor, but I couldn’t get hold of them by email. This time I had better…

My Smart Fortwo Cabrio visits Sørby Autocenter
Originally I had planned to go to “Smartcars” when needed, but unfortunately they are 30-40 minutes away, each way. And the last time I tried to get in contact with them, by mail, they never replied. By chance I saw that “Sørby Autocenter” is on the list over companies where smartclubdenmark members get a discount.They…
