Excellent, efficient, helpful, and friendly, are among the terms I use when I recommend Zylstra to others. We have had our cars taken care of by Zylstra’s for perhaps twenty years. We stay with Zylstra because we always receive high-quality work done quickly at a fair price. The staff always keep me fully informed about what work my car needs and my repair options and the cost of each option. They have always been honest and fair.

Five Stars for Zylstra, a first-time customer. I will absolutely go back. AAA had a Summer Auto Checkup at an approved AAA auto shop. Zylstra's was first on the list and I can see why. Amazing Customer Service. Knowledgeable and Professional ASE Mechanic. Honest, friendly, clean, and caring.

We were driving our van south towards Joshua tree National Park when my cruise control and Speedometer stopped working and the transmission was shifting hard. Of course it was New Years Eve and a weekend. But thankfully we were in Kingsburg and there was a RV park right there. So we stayed there over the weekend and got it to Zylstra on Monday after stopping at two other places who could not fix it. First they figured it was the speed sensor because it was broken. So they got a new one and test drove it. That did not fix the problem and they need to dig deeper. So they removed the cover to the rear end and it was out of oil and all the parts were either broken or fused together. They were able to get a whole new Jasper rear end in just a couple days. They knew we were on the road and time off was getting close to over so the mechanic came in on his day off and finished it up on Saturday and drove it around for a while and everything worked. Then on Sunday the owner's wife, sorry can’t remember her name came in first thing in the morning so we could pick it up. They did a great job. Thank you, Tim & Jamie
