About Smart Madness

SMART MADNESS is the original home for smart enthusiasts since 2008. It is a place built by passionate owners, dedicated to helping fellow smart owners customize, enhance, and maintain these unique and innovative vehicles.

As part of MADNESS Autoworks, SMART MADNESS was created out of a deep appreciation for the smart brand and the distinct personality these compact cars bring to the road. Small in size but big in character, smart cars have always attracted owners who appreciate individuality, clever engineering, efficiency, and fun.

We are a privately owned company, built by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Unlike large corporate conglomerates that often view niche automotive brands as just another market segment or commodity, smart cars are part of our daily lives. We own them, drive them, maintain them, modify them, and continue to push the limits of what these little cars can do. This is not just business for us, it’s personal. That firsthand ownership and real world experience gives us a level of understanding and passion that simply cannot be replicated by larger companies that may not share the same connection to these vehicles.

Because we live the smart lifestyle ourselves, we understand what matters most to fellow owners. That is great quality products, honest advice, real support, and solutions that actually work. When you contact us, you are dealing with people who know these cars inside and out, not just salespeople reading from a catalog.

For over a decade, our Texas headquarters has served as the heart of our operations. Located in the Austin area, this flagship facility combines our primary warehouse with a full service workshop where our experienced team installs everything from performance exhaust systems and suspension upgrades to engine performance enhancements, custom wheels, audio systems, exterior and interior styling and complete turnkey builds. This is where ideas become reality and where some of our most creative and exciting smart builds come to life.

Our California location serves as a dedicated shipping and receiving center and a small installation and service facility run by a highly skilled and dedicated staff, where every team member has been with us for over 15 years. The California location is open by appointment only and is not open to the general public.

At SMART MADNESS, our mission has always been simple: provide the best products, expert installation, and personalized service at fair prices. We treat every customer like family and every project like it is our own.

We proudly ship products worldwide on a daily basis and support smart owners across the globe through phone, email, and in person assistance. 

Beyond parts and installations, our custom builds have earned national recognition and have been featured on major automotive television networks including Speed TV, Netflix, Velocity Channel, Discovery Channel, and MAVTV, as well as shows like My Ride Rules, West Coast Customs, Car Fix, and the Optima Ultimate Street Car Challenge. Our team has also built vehicles for TV productions, major car shows, movie projects, commercials, and promotional campaigns for major brands.

At SMART MADNESS, we don’t just sell parts we live the smart lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a simple upgrade, a complete custom build, or expert service, we’re here to help make your smart truly yours.
