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 serviceA Booth
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
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

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 youRalph Chase
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
Thanks Andrew. After the service and remap, my car feels like new again. The quality of work is outstanding—everything is done thoroughly and with real care. Andrew clearly has a wide range of knowledge, and any modifications are well thought out and expertly carried out. It’s rare to find someone who delivers on their claims, but he certainly does, always focusing on the best result rather than the easiest option.David Bee
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.John Dolbear
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. Thank youJase
Thanks for great service work on my Smart diesel it is working great thank you.Pat
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
When my Roadster’s central locking stopped working, Mercedes kept it for four days but couldn’t find the fault. They suggested replacing the SAM unit for over £500, even though there were no clear signs it was faulty. I wasn’t convinced, so I took it to Andrew at Smart-Automotive. After careful testing, he traced the issue to a simple earth fault and fixed it—everything now works perfectly. Andrew uses experience and practical thinking to solve problems. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend himAlan Pittaway
Brilliant job done today. You are right it\'s like driving a new motor. Thanks. Highly recommended.Keith
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 . C. NuttallColin Nuttall
Picked my car up today running like a dream Recommend to all smart car owners thank you anneAnne Nicholls
I was recommended Andrew a few years ago for servicing my Smart cars, and I’ve never had better, more personal or professional service—even compared to Mercedes and other garages I’ve used over the years. Unlike many companies that only appear good on the surface, Andrew delivers reliable, high-quality work every time. He truly knows Smart cars inside out—I wouldn’t go anywhere else.Andy Andrew
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
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
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
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 workLorraine
Excellent service from Andrew - knows the cars inside out and offers a friendly and honest service!Matthew Gavan
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 AutomotiveRob Donovan
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 getting my servicing done. And I get to camp in Cornwall.Guy Martindale
Wouldn not 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 youMrs McQuillen- Wright
February 27th 2018 Yet again we put our 451 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 AndrewFebruary 27, 2018
May 10th 2018 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
June 8th 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!Michael Basnett
September 7th 2018 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
November 11th 2018 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. CheersMark Penfold

August 8th 2019 Andrew is and has always been excellent with servicing and repairing my car. Friendly, honest and he always gets the job done to a great standard. Smart automotive is the only garage I trust to bring my roadster to.Alfie Gunningham
Sept 9th 2019 – Great Service After buying our Smart car last July, Andrew gave it a thorough service that made it incredibly reliable for our business. It even passed its MOT with flying colours a year later! We’re back for our second service now—highly recommended.TAMARA NANCE
November 12, 2019 Genius These guys are mustard. There isn\'t a thing they don\'t know about Smarts. A pleasure to meet and entrust with my 450. If you\'ve not yet mapped yours then you seriously need to visit Andrew and unleash your Smart. Well worth the drive. Will not go anywhere else again. Thank you guys.Perry
May 5th 2020 Smart Man – A Rare Find After 10 years of loyal service, I can honestly say Andrew is a 12/10. His technical knowledge surpasses even the main dealers; he finds faults others simply can’t. He is constantly training to stay ahead of the curve. Andrew, you deserve all the credit in the worldMr Andrew Smith
April 7th 2021 I needed a new clutch actuator and a long needed service .All work completed very satisfactorily .The car is running better than ever and runs as smooth as silk.I will using the garage for any future needs and I can reccomend Andrew for thoroughness and attention to detailDave Ingley
June 26, 2022 Andrew provided first-class service at a competitive price. He finished the work ahead of schedule, and the car drives significantly better—smoother and quieter. Highly recommended for honest, affordable, and professional work!Andrew Johnson
March 23 2023 We purchased our fresh Smart Car 453 in December so service and MOT required now. Looked for Smart Car Specialists and came across \'Smart Automotive\' St Columb. After dillying about the distance and speaking to Ann, we booked the car in. They gave the car a real good going over, wax oiled the underneath of the car, painted the the drum brake housings and returned the car fully serviced, MOT\'d, Altogether a really good experience, Andrew is the \'Smart Man\'. Thank you.Alastair and Kathryn
October 11, 2023 Booked my 2016 Smart in for a service and to replace the driver’s door seal. Andrew was very thorough with fantastic attention to detail. On top of the usual service, he also spotted a worn belt, removed the wheels and cleaned up the brake drums and cleaned/undersealed the underneath. Fantastic service! Excellent communication and the use of a courtesy car were added bonuses. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend Smart AutomotiveCheryl
