Smart Car Servicing in Wiltshire

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place ...

Can anybody recommend a good place to get a Smart car serviced in Wiltshire? We've used the main Mercedes dealer in Swindon a couple of times but we were let down badly by them last year and we really don't want to use them again. I've rung round a few places but many won't touch Smart cars, and searching on the internet doesn't seem to bring much up locally. I'd be really grateful if anyone has any personal recommendations!

    No real idea, but when we call them we just get told that they don't 'do' Smart cars. A few have said that they don't have the specialist equipment, but I've no idea whether that's true or not. We'd also prefer to use someone with some experience of Smarts, since the last time we used a 'normal' garage they didn't do a very good job ...

    Just found this... http://www.evilution.co.uk/ Join the forum & ask on there.

    Seems to have lots of info, Only had a quick peek though. Be wary of someone advertising
    their own services. Look for longstanding members who have lots of posts under their belts.

    Not the new member that posts i just got mine serviced for £2.75 @ joebloggs garage and
    got an excellent service.
