Vanos Repair
If your BMW needs Vanos repair, you can count on the expert auto mechanics at Import Motor Werks to get the job done right. We have the correct factory equipment and advanced training to properly service Vanos units on BMW models.
Vanos is BMW’s complicated variable camshaft timing unit. By adjusting the camshaft for the intake and exhaust valves and oil flow to the camshaft gears, Vanos enables smoother engine idling and operation, more torque, and a broader powerband. Some BMW models have a single Vanos system, while others have a dual Vanos setup.

When it comes to Vanos repair, you can trust that our team will take care of your BMWs like ours. We understand the importance of proper maintenance and repair for these luxury vehicles, so we go above and beyond to provide the best service possible.
If you suspect your BMW may need Vanos repair, don’t hesitate to bring it into our shop. We would be happy to inspect it and let you know what we recommend. Thank you for choosing Import Motor Werks!

A Dirty VANOS Could Lead To Serious Problems
If your BMW isn’t performing as expected, it may be time for a VANOS repair. VANOS (Variable Camshaft Timing) solenoid valves help optimize engine performance by regulating air intake and exhaust timing. Over time, these solenoids can become dirty or clogged, negatively impacting your vehicle’s horsepower, torque, performance, fuel economy, and overall drivability.
Import Motor Werks specializes in BMW VANOS repairs and can help get your car running like new again. We start with a thorough diagnosis to identify the root cause of the problem and then provide a customized solution based on your specific needs. It could involve anything from a minor repair to a complete VANOS rebuild and replacement of the valve cover gasket, upper timing cover gasket, Beisan Systems VANOS kits (think seals and rattle solution), and more.
Don’t let a dirty or clogged VANOS solenoid ruin your driving experience. Contact the experts at Import Motor Werks today to schedule a consultation. We look forward to serving you!

Can’t recommend these guys enough. I took them a new to me 2002 M5 and had them do a post purchase inspection. Mike did a fantastic job of keeping me informed and sent pics of everything they found with the car that needed addressing. After the inspection we discussed what items needed to be addressed immediately, including preventative maintenance, and which items I needed to keep an eye on and could be addressed in the future. I received detailed quotes for all repairs and was kept in the loop daily with updates online and with phone calls every day about progress. These guys are extremely knowledgeable and treat the cars as if they are their own. I will definitely be returning for future maintenance.
