Smart Car Service & Repairs - Still Servicing After Smart Left
The Smart city car - built by Mercedes/Daimler - is no longer sold in South Africa, but your ForTwo, ForFour or Roadster is still a clever little car worth keeping. At Fangio Auto we service and repair Smarts at both branches. Because Smart shares some engineering and parts with Mercedes/Daimler, servicing is more accessible than orphaned owners expect - and we keep these tiny turbocharged cars on the road.
Full Smart Range
Smart Models We Service
Smart cars are small, clever and a little unusual to work on - which is exactly why they need a workshop that knows them. We service the SA range and tap the Mercedes/Daimler side for parts where they cross over.
Roadster
Smart ForTwo
Don't see your Smart? Contact us and we'll confirm we can help. Smart shares engineering with Mercedes/Daimler, so parts and expertise are easier to source than owners are told - see our Mercedes-Benz page too.

Still Here for Smart Owners
Why Smart Owners Choose Fangio
When Smart left South Africa, owners of these niche city cars were told there was nowhere to go. There is. We service Smarts, understand the tiny turbo and automated-manual gearbox, and keep them on the road.
Still Servicing Smart
The brand left; we didn't. We keep orphaned Smarts running and tap the Mercedes/Daimler side for parts.
Two Branches, One Standard
Hermanus serves the Overberg and Garden Route; Randburg covers Johannesburg and surrounds. Same service, same standards.
Transparent Quoting
You know exactly what will be done and what it costs before we touch your Smart. We quote, you approve, we work.
