As the premier shop for auto repair in New Hampshire, our team at Silver Arrow takes pride in servicing a diverse range of vehicles. From exotic sports cars like the Lamborghini to the world’s smallest Smart Car, we have the experience and knowledge that vehicle owner’s love.

With a passion for vehicles, we thought we’d take this moment to have a little fun. And, what is more fun than the German manufactured Smart Car.

Swatch Watches play a role in Smart Car’s history

In the early 1980s, the same company that produces the Swatch Watch branched out to deliver its innovative design for the automotive industry. With the belief that manufacturers were missing the mark for city drivers, the small and stylish vehicle began to take life.

Smart GMBH is an operating division of Mercedes-Benz Cars

We bet you didn’t see that one coming. And, yes, you read that right. On March 4, 1994, the two companies became one with combined efforts on making the Smart Car.

The original designs called for a vehicle less than 9 feet in length

Even though this number is quite astonishing, the majority of Smart Cars run a mere eight and a half feet in length. However, the compactness doesn’t stop there – the width only runs five and a half feet wide.

Smart Car drivers love to customize

Unlike other vehicles, Smart Car owners can change up the color – after they purchase the vehicle. Instead of a complete painting overhaul, panels on the outside of the car are easily removed and replaced by newer, colored versions for a quick and updated look.

The gas mileage is impressive

Chances are, you’re thinking tiny car, tiny tank. Tiny tanks mean less traveled mileage. Well, not with this innovative beauty. Running off a tiny eight gallon tank, the average Smart Car driver will go 350 miles before filling up again.

Whether you’re driving a Ford or a Smart Car, a Ferrari, or an Acura, Silver Arrow Service is your one-stop shop for all of your auto repair in New Hampshire.
