    I’ve been bringing my vehicles here for years now. It’s always the best experience. Doug is awesome and the repairs are always done right. Even if they aren’t perfect they will make sure you are satisfied. Thanks for being in existence Zims.

    Just dropped off my 87 Mercedes Benz SDL for repairs for the first time. I think its a good sign when the original owner of a this shiny red 1985 Mercedes has been taking their car here exclusively for over 15 years.

    Zims Autotechnik is an absolute lifesaver for vintage Porsche enthusiasts, providing a selection of high-quality parts that breathe new life into these classics. I was met with exceptional customer service and expertise that far exceeded my expectations. The parts I ordered were meticulously crafted to exacting standards, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration into my 356. Zims Autotechniks dedication to preserving the legacy of these iconic cars is evident in the quality of their inventory, and I couldnt be more satisfied with the results.

    Daren, my Porsche Cayenne Tech, is the most professional and thorough technician Ive met. I have 2 Cayennes and I am thankful to have found a technician who teaches you about your vehicle while hes working on it. Al, Aaron, and Doug, you all are the best! I cannot thank you all enough for your patience and thoroughness in providing support to your customers. I wish all Porsche Service Centers were as polished and detailed as Zims.

    Called about a pre-purchase inspection and received some very helpful advice over the phone that affected our car purchase decision. Their honesty was well-received and much appreciated.

    I was so pleased about the way my Porsche and myself were treated during my recent visit to Zim’s Autotechnic. The shop is unique in their innovative ideas and equipment to keep the P-cars running, particularly those vintage cars with the air-cooled and pushrod engines. The knowledge base within Zim’s of how to properly care for Porsches is simply unmatched in my 60-year experience of owning, driving and maintaining them. Zim’s Autotechnic shop is an excellent, large and well-equipped shop with extremely knowledgeable and experienced mechanics. The fact that Zim’s charges a fair price for their service is just an added incentive to return my car for all of its future service needs.

    I have used this company for more than 10 years to service three different Porsche vehicles and a BMW. They have always done right by me. As a specific example, not too long ago I personally replaced a battery for my current 911 turbo. When I replaced it, the remotes that lock and unlock the door no longer functioned. I called the dealership and they told me I needed to bring it in and that it was going to cost me a large amount of money to re-program the automobile keys. I called Zimms and they gave me a work around over the phone that allowed me to reprogram the keys at no charge in which I accomplished in less than one minute. They have done lots of other work for me over the years including by way of example completely rebuilding a transmission. I have always thought that their work was excellent and that the price they charged was fair.

    As an international flight attendant, my wife is very dependent on her car and keeping it in top working order. After returning from a very long all-night Santiago trip, the battery warning light was on when she started her car.. and unfortunately i was out of town. YIKES... major 911! her GLC300 takes a special/unique battery which i was able to eventually locate but the installation is complicated, which eliminates most places in the area. Ugh. via the phone, i asked the general mgr of Interstate Batteries who could install it. he told me quite a few of his customers had spoken highly of Zims. With me traveling and having never previously been a customer of Zims, i had a ton of anxiety about if they could even help her... and of course, what they would charge her (by all appearances coming in as a single woman without me).When Rebekah got to the shop she met Doug and the EARLIEST available opening wasnt until December!! She explained her circumstances and Doug thought for a moment and responded... if you can be here tomorrow morning at 8 we will work you in. Miracle of miracles... for both of us. It frankly HAD to be done no matter what they charged her and she was back the next morning before they opened as promised.They not only got her car in immediately, it was done in less time than expected and charged her a beyond-fair price. If someone does a favor for me im always grateful... but if you help my wife when im not there to navigate the situation, youve got a friend and customer for life. Sadly the Google Review scale only goes to 5 Stars... because in my book, i would have confidently given them twice that many Stars. I can assure you, im a customer for life... and next time well respectfully wait for the next available appointment. Thank you again for the excellent service.

    Top notch mechanics and a service advisor you can trust.I found them 10+ yrs ago when they serviced my old BMW 325i. Since then I go there exclusively for all my service including my 2012 BMW335i. All of my visits have been a positive experience.

    If you own a porsche in the area than you most likely already know about this place! Ive brought my boxster here since I got it and honestly I can say they are incredible. Service is amazing, prices are competitive, and the staff is by far the the most knowledgeable friendly guys Ive ever dealt with. If youre new to the area and drive a porsche or BMW do yourself a favor and start coming here. (if you live in the area and you arent bringing your car to them... Start... Seriously... Right now start...)

    I recently purchased a used car local to Zims, but from out of my home state (found over the Internet). They came highly recommended and did a very thorough pre-purchase inspection and major service on the car. Brian was very patient with my many phone calls, as I was nervous about driving a car sight unseen 400 + miles from the Dallas area back to my home. Their prices were very fair. I would recommend them without hesitation.

    Ive driven older BMWs for many years, and have (unfortunately/mistakenly) taken them to various repair shops around the HEB area for the last few years.I was finally recommended (by Eagle Transmission--see my RAVE review on Eagle Transmission--they are THE BEST for non-european cars) to take my auto to Zims Autotechnik in Bedford.Id had repairs done on my (always older) european cars at various places, for what seemed (although, admittedly, not being a car-repair-expert myself) exorbitant prices. I assumed the prices were simply part of the deal for driving older european cars, BUT.....Once I started using Zims, I was, in all seriousness, AMAZED at their honesty, and the fact that their rates are SO low compared to general repair facilities.Im angry, though. Angry that I wasted so much money prior to discovering Zims. Theyre PASSIONATE about BMWs and Porches, and the care about (and respect) you, and theyre honest almost to a fault.WISH I COULD GIVE A 6-STAR RATING!!

    Zims recently added Steve Zink to their staff. He is an excellent Audi Technician who does the job the right way. I used to take my Audi to Steve when he had his own shop, Zinks Garage. He earned my business immediately with his honesty and flawless work. Steve has done a CV boot replacement / axle rebuild, clutch and flywheel replacement, and now both rear window regulators on my car. With Steve working there, Zims is the best place to take your Audi / VW for any service you need. You can expect fair pricing and your car always comes back repaired and clean.

    Phenomenal customer service. I was looking to buy a pre-owned boxter. They gladly gave me information on previous maintenance and estimated cost of ownership.

    Brought my 997s in. It was sounding terrible, turns out it was minor and Zim’s sent me home with no charge. Great people.

    Job was done quickly and was fixed properly. Fairly priced and was returned earlier than projected. Highly recommend.
