Smart Car Engine Refurbishing

Many Smarts have an engine rebuild around 70000 miles. In our opinion this is due to poor maintenance. A contributory factor is Smart not fitting a sump plug and relying on a method of sucking out the old oil from your engine through the dipstick hole.

If well looked after with regular oil changes there is no reason why theses engines can't go on beyond 150000 miles, without rebuilding. We consider it is essential to remove the sump every 30000 miles to clean any sludgy oil residue which inevitably builds up over time. We also strongly recommend fitting an after-market sump pan complete with a drain plug.

If your Smart is using oil then you should consider having an engine rebuild. It is better to rebuild early to avoid serious damage to your engine. We offer two levels of engine rebuilds basic and custom. Each comes with a 10,000 mile / 12 month warranty (whichever is sooner)
