Adkins Performance Quality - 451 smart fortwo

451 smart fortwo

I've been getting numerous emails about why I changed manufacturers. I just wanted to make things clear before any false rumors start to show up.

My previous manufacturer for the engine mounts were made by Adkins Performance. As I stated before, the quality of his work is not there.

Here is a picture of my engine mount now. The bushings are coming off:

Here is a picture of one of my customer's engine mount:

Here is a quote from my customer:

Per your recommendation I contacted Jonathon @ Adkins Performance. He advised he was supplied the wrong bushings for the mount and would ship the correct ones to me if I could press them myself.

I agreed and provided him with my mailing address and phone number.

A week passed and no bushings. Called Jonathon again and was told he was supplied the wrong
bushings again, correct ones would be in the following Friday, he would ship them out to me and provide me with a tracking number.

Another week passed, no bushings.

I have since left phone messages and e-mailed Jonathon in an attempt to obtain status on the bushings, I have not received a response to my phone messages or e-mails






Jonathan, from Adkins Performance was asking my customer to press in his own bushing. That form of customer service is unheard of.

To this day, no response.

Now, I do have a new manufacturer who has a lot more experience and will make a great product that will not fall apart. The part is still made in the USA.

See previous posts in this thread. I've been saying that for a very long time. Daimler and Smart have not supported this brand in the US and they apparently relied on viral marketing and YouTube to do all of their advertising. My Smart dealer didn't…

Why is it that I see TONS of commercials for Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and Nissan but ZERO for smart cars? Why did they even bother to bring these cars to this country in the first place for? If Rick Case spent $2,000,000 on his 5,000 sq. ft. facility,…

I think a one word answer will do for all of the US, and that word is . . . . . . . . . . ZERO On NPR our "local" dealer has a SMART commercial, but I have heard or seen nothing else! Except for Nissan who is advertising their micro/micra. http:…
