Car diagnostics for the 2016 smart fortwo
Your 2016 smart fortwo needs a diagnostic check? We do not do mechanical work, but we arrange it and rent you a car meanwhile. A warning light is the car asking for a diagnostic scan; the code tells the shop where to look.
Details the shop needs
Your owner's manual lists the maintenance schedule for the fortwo. Bring the owner's manual or service records if you have them. Tell the shop the year, the trim and the engine: the 0.9L 3-cylinder turbo. The powertrain to know here is the 0.9L 3-cylinder turbo, with rear-wheel drive.
What CarmaCars does here
You agree everything with the shop before work begins. We follow up until the shop has the car booked in. The repair is between you and the shop; the rental is with us.
A car meanwhile
Rent by the day while the shop has your car. If the repair runs long, keep the rental longer. We meet you with the car at the time we confirm, at your address or ours.
What to ask
Ask how the shop takes payment before you pick the car up. Ask when the car will be ready and how the shop will tell you. Ask for the work to be listed line by line on the invoice.
Car care, briefly
Check that all lights work every few weeks. If the car pulls to one side, ask the shop to check the alignment and the tires. Keep the spare, the jack and the wheel lock key where you can find them.
Still deciding?
Send the car's details and the job, and we take the next step.
Request car diagnostics
Tell us when suits you. A person replies within one business day and arranges it with a trusted shop or recommends one; the shop sets its own price and time.
