Tuning

What is Remapping?

Most modern vehicles contain an ECU (or Engine Control Unit) that is effectively a small computer which controls how the engine works. Vehicle manufacturers de-tune the engine by setting the software on the ECU to default before sending the vehicle out. This is done due to the manufacturers having to sell their cars all over the world, this means that the software settings on the ECU must take into account different climates, laws & restrictions and varying quality of fuels. Vehicle remapping is basically the modification/replacement of the manufactures default software on a vehicles ECU.

Outstanding service. Andrew's expertise in Smart cars is better than any Mercedes garage I have ever used. Smart Automotive always gets the issue resolved and their prices are very reasonable. Roadster @ 165,000 miles.

SIMPLY THE BEST : ALWAYS SUPERB SERVICE and CARE. THANK YOU

Mrs mcquillen-wright , January 4, 2019

Great work on my forfour!
Well worth the 100 mile round trip to get my vehicle driving like new again. Can’t believe how different it is on the trip home!
Likely to recommend & visit again if I get any more trouble.
Cheers

Smart Automotive is excellent in every respect - friendly, helpful and expert engineering. I've been taking my roadster to Smart Automotive for 6 years and wouldn't take it anywhere else.

Celia Moon , September 7, 2018

Just had a service on my Brabus ForTwo, one of many done by Andrew over the years. He gives excellent service, reasonable prices but most of all he can be trusted to always do the right thing. If you own a Smart I would urge you to contact Andrew for all your servicing/repair needs as he is the go to guy for Smart in Cornwall and beyond!

My car broke down at lunchtime and Andrew had it fixed and back on the road by teatime. Excellent service and great customer care. Will recommend Andrew to everyone and will certainly go back to him.

Denise McLaren , May 10, 2018

Yet again we put our 4 51 in for a service and we seem to have been given a new car!
I don't know how Andrew does it, but every time he works on our car it seems better than ever. Thanks again Andrew

Andy McIntosh , February 27, 2018

Wouldn't consider trusting my Smart Car with any other company, or any other indiviual ( unless they were trained by Andrew!).
Apart from the superb customer service ( always) and importantly ( &, reasonable invoices!), what I like is that Andrew actuall listens to hear what you , the customer have to say about how you see your cars problems -never condescending, and going the extra mile to get things right .thank you

Mrs McQuillen- Wright , November 30, 2017

Three hundred forty one thousands and nine hundred km (Left Hooker) 02 plate Four Two Pulse Diesel. A full service at just over two thirds of what I budgeted. amazing on all counts. At this age and milage the difference is amazing and confidence inspiring.
Thank you Andrew for you patience, care and undoubted knowledge and love of the Marque. I know where I will be batting my servicing done. And I get to camp in Cornwall.

Guy Martindale , October 4, 2017

ABsolutely first rate service, better than a main dealer , Andrew replaced my broken key (buttons falling apart) as part of the service, the main dealer up country wanted £60,
he's updated the soft ware, checked to make sure any factory recalls had been done.
Auto restart now working very well and so quiet, smartie is Running like new!
very honest professional service, I will not go anywhere else now i have found Andrew at Smart Automotive

Rob Donovan , September 3, 2017

Excellent service from Andrew - knows the cars inside out and offers a friendly and honest service!

Matthew Gavan , June 11, 2017

Andrew at Smart Automotive helped find my car and has maintained it in great condition ever since . He is helpful and has advised me well and sensibly ever since my first visit nearly five years ago now. As a new motorist this has been invaluable to me personally, as a well maintained car has given me confidence !
I would highly recommend him for his professional ,but friendly work

Lorraine , April 21, 2017

I took my 450 Cabby into Smart Automotive today for a B Service, MOT and Engine Management Fault. Andrew carried out a full and comprehensive service and guidance on the car. Much better care than my local Mercedes dealership which failed to return my service request call.
I would happily recommend Smart Automotive to all Smart owners.
Andrews knowledge is clearly extensive and his manner very accommodating.

Matt P , April 4, 2017

Yet again after it's service our 451 is running like new. We often speak to other owners when out and about and always recommend Andrew to them. It is worth the trip down from Plymouth every time our Smart needs attention, because we know the best Smart surgeon around. Thanks again Andrew.

Andy McIntosh , February 22, 2017

We had a problem with the under side of out Smart Forfour and had to catch a plane. Andrew agreed to sort it out at a moments notice and replaced the part whilst we were away. If that wasn't enough, he made collection easy for us so that we could collect the car in the early hours of the morning on our way down. Great service- thanks Andrew.

Mark Turner , February 19, 2017

Having been lucky enough, a few years ago,to have Andrew recommended to me for servicing my Smart(s) I have never had better, more personal nor such professional service from the numerous Smart and other car garages I have used through my long car ownership period, including Mercedes themselves.
Many modern companies suffer from the "swan" syndrome - looks lovely on the surface and out of sight all is frantic action to maintain forward motion!
With Andrew you get solid dependable results and someone who really knows Smarts - there is nothing better.

Andy Andrew , January 21, 2017

Picked my car up today running like a dream
Recommend to all smart car owners
thank you anne

Anne Nicholls , November 12, 2016

I have taken my Smart for service, MOT and repairs for several years and always found him to be reliable and give excellent service. Nothing is to much trouble. He will not rip you off like some garages and does an excellent job. Highly recommend .

Brilliant job done today. You are right it's like driving a new motor.

Thanks. Highly recommended.

Keith Dymond , June 7, 2016

My Roadster developed a fault where the central locking system refused to lock the doors and boot. It spent 4 days with Mercedes with two technicians and their state-of-the-art diagnostics only to tell me they couldn't find the fault. Although the SAM unit did not show any signs of corrosion or obvious faults they said a £500+ replacement was needed
Not convinced, I took the car to Andew here at Smart-Automotive and after much thought and testing he located the problem, which turned out to be an earth fault. This he corrected and I am delighted to say all the locks now work perfectly !
The big difference between Mercedes and Andrew is that they do things by the book, whereas he thinks out of the box and tackles a problem with thought and good common sense ! As he said to me, ".... With this problem I was on a mission..."
I would have absolutely no reservations in recommending his work. He is extremely competent, competitive in his prices and very pleasant to deal with. If Andrew can't fix your Smartie then no one can !!

Alan Pittaway , April 28, 2016

I very recently had my 451 Brabus Fortwo re-mapped by Andrew, fantastic results I have to say, the performance has greatly improved with the higher bhp figure, which also comes with an impressive gain in overall torque throughout the range resulting in a less gear changes. Excellent job many thanks Andrew.

Trevor Moyle , March 28, 2016

Thanks for great service work on my Smart diesel it is working great thank you.

Pat , February 22, 2016

From our very first Roadster through 2 x 450 Smarts both 600cc and 700cc all the way to our 451 cabriolet. All of which are serviced and re mapped by Andrew. We just wouldn't go anywhere else even bringing my sister in law down from Cardiff as I didn't trust anyone else to look after her car. Professionalism and attention to detail that borders on OCD levels of perfection. If you live in the South West or indeed anywhere in the country you will not find a better place to bring your Smart for any and all work.

Jase , February 2, 2016

Andrew Dennis has just sorted a complicated problem with my 2004 Smart Roadster. The car was immobilised and not responding to anything.It appeared to be a difficult and expensive thing to resolve according to the main dealer. However after talking to Andrew he offered to help with the problem. Andrew is very helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to the complexities of the Smart car. Taking valuable time out of his weekend Andrew sorted it. A good man!! Took a worry off my shoulders. THANKYOU.

John Dolbear , January 22, 2016

Thanks Andrew .After the service and remap my car literally feels like new again.I have to say the quality of workmanship is as good as it gets.Each individual's operation is carried out to the letter or better and non are missed out.There is empathy and a careful hand applied.Andy has done some re engineering and that was also carefully thought out and exercised from a very broad field of knowledge.A pleasure to watch a professional working his magic,there are many who claim but few who can deliver. Andy does what will give the best result,not what is easiest for him.For any body interested in the re map it of course enhances performance with good progressive acceleration and enhances the driving experience without any bad manners.

David Bee , November 2, 2015

Warm freindly service, good advice. Good value, great work done on my car.
Now I can be seen better new daylight running L.E.D so would thoroughly
recommend. The car is running smoothly altogether. I will come back for more great work and service. Many thanks again Andrew. 100%

2pat , October 26, 2015

Bought a Smart car secondhand and thought it needed a service, went on Internet and found Smart Automotive, Newquay. Rang up to book service and Andrew was most helpful, reassuring me about characteristics of a Smart car.
Had the full service yesterday, good value, and the car is running much better.
Thank you

Ralph Chase , September 11, 2015

First class service last week when my little Tweetie had a meltdown with her electrics! We were recommended by the breakdown guy and I am so pleased we acted on his recommendation ;
Very professional and impressive knowledge, Smart -Automotive is highly recommended-you can do no better -thank you

B H MCQUILLEN-WRIGHT , July 13, 2015

Andrew very kindly helped us obtain my wife's Smart car and has subsequently provided us with extremely professional, competitive and friendly service. I would recommend Smart Automotive to everyone. Thanks Andrew!

David Wigley , April 10, 2015

As normal a top rate service at an acceptable price. Andrew has never let me or my cars down and always goes the extra mile with customer service

Richard Waghorn , January 29, 2015

Great service, friendly staff, huge knowledge, helpful and got the job done in half the time of a normal garage.
Even helped me to diagnose faults since over the phone.

Josh , December 16, 2014

Andrew's expert care of my SMART has kept it going beautifully despite the fact that it is 12 years old. It was second-hand to me and needed his attention more than once initially but despite the varied problems that I have brought to him, Andrew Dennis knows what he is doing with SMART cars. I trust him and rely on his knowledge and professionalism.

Jane Trevaskis , December 9, 2014

I have worked in the motor trade most of my life and my cars have run better after Andrew has serviced them than anywhere else I have taken them very reasonable prices and excellent service

A Booth , November 22, 2014

Thanks again for a great job, fault diagnosed on the phone and repaired in minutes by you. Soft touch conversion is a hit with my wife. Great work will be seeing you soon for a service. Keep up the good work

Andy McIntosh , November 10, 2014

Andrew is always very reliable and competitively priced. He has just repaired 4 ball joints on my Smart for 50% less than another quote I had and with a 4 year guarantee!

Nigel White , October 12, 2014

Just had an enjoyable drive home from having my smartie serviced & MOT'd.
As always, after having had the car serviced by you it feels and performs so much better. Many thanks.

Nino Nick , September 3, 2014

Steve Carney , August 7, 2014

Great service always. Very thorough, and knowledgable about Smarts in the extreme. Always polite, friendly and personable. Thanks Andrew.

Jules Berry , August 4, 2014

Very pleased with the engine rebuild you did, car runs better than when I first bought it!

sue rawlings , July 30, 2014

What can I say? Without Andrew's constant help and dedication my Smart would be just a car.
