What Our Customers Say

SHARON Brown

★★★★★

Zima was the 3rd place I took my car to have a problem fixed. Obviously the first 2 took my money but didn't fix it. I took it to Zima after my son had taken his car to them and was very pleased. They gave me a prioritized list of things that I needed to fix. This is a 21 year old car. After they fixed it, it runs perfectly and everything works great. Very pleased with price, customer service and repairs.

We were in a bind with a bad alternator and Zima automotive was able to get us up and running quickly. The best place that you can stop in Springfield! Hopefully we will be back to Springfield under better circumstances but they were awesome!
