I took my 2007 Silverado 2500HD Diesel to Zylstra because it was overheating coming back from Pismo over Cuesta Grade HWY 101. From the moment I called Zylstra Auto until the day I picked up my rig I felt confident that they knew exactly what the diagnosis was and how to repair it! It turned out that my truck was experiencing a common problem for this year and make, dust and debris gets trapped between the radiator and condenser and in my case my fan clutch was weak and not fully engaging. I dropped off my truck and it was ready within 48 hours. Well it was time to go back over the grade again but now fully loaded with a 32’ 5th wheel toy hauler loaded with a RZR and two quads. Wow what a relief! my truck temperature never moved north of the halfway point and got us back to Fresno with no problem! These folks are great! - George B (5 star review found on Facebook)
Zylstra is a Great place. I have taken my car to them since I first got it and that's been 11 years now. They are so Friendly. They ALL know me as the Raider Lady. - Marina G (5 stars found on Facebook)
I would like to personally thank Kevin at Zylstra Automotive for being very professional. Kevin replaced my fuel filters on my 2016 Ram diesel 6.7 and was very knowledgeable about the quality of filters used and technical aspect of the installation. You will not find more reasonable prices for parts and labor. Five Stars! - Tim G (5 star review found on Facebook)
Great service! Friendly staff too.. they do a few extras like check tire pressure and make sure my lights are all in working order. - Shawn K (5 star review found on Facebook)

There seems to be a common misconception among many that if you have an aftermarket/extended warranty, that your car, truck, SUV or Jeep must be taken to a dealership. This is not true. Non-dealership / Independent Automotive repair shops can service and repair your new or UNDER WARRANTY/EXTENDED WARRANTY. As a positive, at our shop you can get fast service and work with highly trained technicians! We'd love to take care of your vehicle for you and can do so right here at our automotive shop. Repairs by highly rated and trained automotive technicians with dealer rated diagnostic tools, at BETTER PRICING by a shop that knows you!
It is a law that independent automotive repairs shops can maintain and service your warranty. All consumers are protected by the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, that is enforced by Federal Trade Commission (FTC). It prohibits a manufacturer from voiding the new vehicles warranty or a vehicles extended warranty because service was performed by a Non-Dealer/Independent Repair shop.
Per the FTC, “It's illegal for a dealer to deny your warranty coverage simply because you had warranty work or routine maintenance or repairs performed by our automotive shop. Routine maintenance can include anything from oil changes, tire rotations and belt replacement, to fluid checks, flushes, new brake pads and inspections.” It is also important to note that the “Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for a company to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty for the simple cause that you used an aftermarket or recycled part.”
One of the major perks to bringing your vehicle to an independent repair shop is the ability to make your money go further. Many times, warranties will have a limit or a deductible. Our goal is to make your warranty work for you.
Lastly, If you are on the fence about whether or not to purchase an AFTERMARKET or EXTENDED warranty. We suggest opening a savings account for your car and putting back money for possible breakdowns. While warranties are great the limitations can sometimes outweigh the benefits.
Whichever option you may choose we will be there for you every step of the way! We look forward to taking care of your new or under extended/aftermarket warranty, car, truck, SUV or Jeep right here. Give us a call today!
