Larry is super knowledgeable about Smart cars. He was very thorough with explaining what was wrong with my little car. He taught me things that I didn't know about my car. If you own a Smart car, he's definitely your go to guy and shop. Stop wasting your time and money on non experienced shops. They are Smart car gurus.
