Service and Repair of SMART Vehicles


At Chris Matthews Automotive in Southport, NC, we're passionate about servicing Smart vehicles. SMART Cars are relatively new to the automotive scene. Developed in the early 2000s, SMART Cars weren’t introduced to the United States until 2008. Manufactured by Daimler AG, the SMART Car has an unmistakable compact size and forward-looking design. Fuel efficient and cost effective, these small vehicles are the perfect transportation solution for the modern urban auto owner, proving that bigger is not always better. Regardless of size, you depend on your car day in and day out. As a SMART Car owner, you understand that a quality car demands quality service, so it only makes sense to find the highest quality service for your SMART Car’s repair and maintenance needs.

Our shop specializes in providing superior service to our customers and their cars. From the moment you walk through our door until the moment you leave, we strive to provide a superior customer experience.
