Service First
What We Do for Your BMW
From a standard oil service to a full inspection and diagnostic work, Fangio Auto covers the complete spectrum of BMW maintenance and repair.
Condition-Based Servicing (CBS)
We read your BMW's CBS data and carry out exactly what it's due for: oil service, brake service, micro-filter and more, to BMW spec.
Oil Service vs Inspection
We do both the lighter oil service and the more comprehensive inspection, and we tell you which one your car is due for.
Service Plan & Out-of-Plan Servicing
Whether your BMW is still on a service plan or out of plan, we service it properly and quote up front.
Engine Diagnostics
We read and interpret BMW-specific fault codes across petrol and diesel engines to pinpoint issues early.
Vanos & Timing Chain
Vanos solenoid and seal work, plus timing-chain replacement, including the known N47 diesel chain failure.
Brakes, Suspension & Steering
Pads, discs, shocks and alignment, with run-flat tyre handling where fitted.
Run-Flat Tyres
Supply, fitment and pressure-monitor reset for run-flat-equipped models.
Parts & Consumables
Genuine or approved aftermarket oil, micro-filters, air filters, plugs, wipers, batteries and brake components.

BMW Service & Repair FAQs
Will servicing my BMW with Fangio void my warranty?
No. Servicing at an independent workshop to the manufacturer's schedule, with correct parts and a stamped service book, keeps your warranty intact under the right-to-repair rules.
What is condition-based servicing (CBS)?
BMW's CBS system tracks each service item - oil, brakes, micro-filter - and tells the car when each is due. We read the CBS data and carry out exactly what's needed.
Do you fix the N47 diesel timing chain?
Yes. The N47 diesel timing chain is a known failure point. We inspect for early warning signs and replace the chain and guides before it fails.
Can you service my BMW if it's out of its service plan?
Yes. We service to spec and quote up front before work starts.
Where are you based?
Two branches: Randburg (Johannesburg) and Hermanus (Overberg). Pick your branch on our contact page.
