Does it cost more to repair Smart Fortwo electric vehicle systems?

The truth is, it depends. Some high voltage components only come within a larger unit. Keep in mind that promotional financing is available through the Firestone credit card.* (*Subject to credit approval.)

How do I know when to get new brakes on my Smart Fortwo?

A brake check is one of the best ways to know for sure. Staying on top of your OEM maintenance intervals for Fortwo brakes helps, too. In general, however, front brake pad wear is less in electric vehicles thanks to regenerative braking.

My Smart Fortwo dashboard warning light is on. What should I do?

There are so many reasons the Fortwo dashboard warning light can illuminate. Stop by Firestone Complete Auto Care for an electric vehicle diagnostic to learn more. You may also have a warning light on the dash regarding your high voltage system.

What can cause my Fortwo to leak water?

If you’ve been running the A/C in your electric car, don’t be too surprised to find some water underneath it. Electric vehicles use a receiver dryer assembly to help keep the A/C refrigerant clean, which can produce external condensation. This condensation then drains under the vehicle on warm days. While a small amount of water can be considered normal, large puddles or any coolant leaking from your Fortwo could indicate a cooling system problem.

Keep in mind that even electric cars require regular maintenance, such as tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks. Additionally, electric cars require maintenance for the battery, brakes, and A/C system.

EV Services for Your 2017 Smart Fortwo

Has your Smart Fortwo been feeling a bit "off"? Maybe you've noticed slower acceleration, or it just doesn't feel as "peppy" as it once did. If so, our technicians can run through a complimentary* hybrid/electric vehicle check for more details. Maybe there's a problem with your Fortwo’s high voltage cooling system -- a high voltage battery that's running hot will strain the battery's performance. Then again, it could be that your Fortwo has Diagnostic Trouble Codes stored in one of its electric modules. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care location is equipped to offer conventional and low voltage services for all electric car makes and models, and that includes your 2017 Smart Fortwo.

Some Firestone stores also provide advanced/high voltage services for Electric Vehicles like the Smart Fortwo. A high voltage service is anything that requires removing the Fortwo's high voltage, safety/service disconnect switch/plug, servicing any high voltage cables, the power inverter, the high voltage electric machines/motors, the high voltage battery pack, high voltage A/C compressor, etc. Call ahead before making an appointment to confirm the high voltage services at your closest location.

These are some of the high voltage electric vehicle services that may be offered at your location:

Electric vehicle diagnostic: After any symptoms are identified, then our team performs a diagnostic on your 2017 Smart Fortwo to get to the root of the trouble. With that info in hand, a trained technician will further investigate any electric vehicle problems and decide if more analysis is required to complete the fix. No repair work is done until you give us the thumbs up.

High voltage battery cooling inspection: The technician will closely examine the high voltage battery's filter and, if needed, clean the battery's ducts. (This applies to air-cooled high voltage batteries. Liquid-cooled or refrigerant-cooled high voltage batteries are inspected differently.)

High voltage cable inspection: Your technician will visually inspect the outer cable jackets and connectors on your 2017 Smart Fortwo and test to ensure high voltage is NOT transferring to the chassis. They'll let you know if the cable needs replacement due to wear and tear.

Isolation test: For this test, a special tool is used to reveal if a high voltage component is "leaking" energy to the vehicle's chassis.

Remove and replace high voltage battery: Is your Smart Fortwo's high voltage battery a goner? Electric vehicle batteries may need replacement sooner in hot climates or if you frequently use Level 3 fast-charging stations, since these stations may heat the battery more. Let us replace it for you.

Health check for the power electronic systems: We'll check the electric drive machine(s)/motor(s), power inverter, and/or regenerative braking in your 2017 Smart Fortwo.

These are just a few of the more specialized electric car services that might be offered at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care. Call first to check!
