Smart factory warranty
Smart was a Mercedes-Benz city-car brand that left the US market, and US sales ended around 2019. Every Smart on the road is long past its factory warranty, so any mechanical failure is paid out of pocket unless a service contract is in place. Age and mileage limits differ by provider, and older vehicles may qualify only for powertrain-level coverage.
What to know about covering a Smart
Smart was a Mercedes-Benz city-car brand that left the US market. No new Smart vehicles have been sold in the US since about 2019, but many are still on the road and can still be covered by a service contract if they meet a provider's age and mileage limits.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy an extended warranty for a used Smart?
Usually, yes. Eligibility depends on the vehicle's age and mileage, and each provider sets its own limits. Used vehicles normally have a waiting period before claims can be made.
Can I take my Smart to any repair shop?
Most plans let you use any licensed repair facility in the US, including independent shops that know the brand. The shop gets authorization from the plan administrator before starting work.
What does Smart extended coverage cost?
It depends on the model, year, mileage, coverage level and where you live. Request a quote with your vehicle details for an actual price.
