I was born in Silvis, Illinois and currently reside in Moline. I graduated form Rockridge High School on 2001. My appreciation for the automotive industry came as a young child with my family also being in the automotive industry. I began my career at Zimmerman as a lot porter in 2002, and in 2004 was promoted to an entry level technician in the service department. With years of experience as a used vehicle technician and associated training, I accepted a new position as a Service Advisor in 2012, and most recently service manager in 2021. It is my priority to ensure your vehicle is serviced accurately and timely to make your experience in Zimmerman service an excellent one. I am an avid Cubs and Bears fan who enjoys taking in a game or two when I can get away. Feel free to contact AJ for any of your automotive concerns and rest assured he will make every effort to answer your questions with the ultimate focus being your 100% satisfaction.

Great People! Seventh Honda we have owned. This is the third Honda Dealer we used, and the third car we bought at Zimmermans.. What brings us back are the GREAT s Seventh Honda we have owned. This is the third Honda Dealer we used, and the third car we bought at Zimmermans.. What brings us back are the GREAT staff. I HIGHLY recommend our salesman, Ron Allgood (honest, not pushy, worked well with us). Kyle Ruser made the paperwork a breeze, and the entire crew in the service Dept represent the dealership with fair and honest quick service each and every time. Zimmerman's entire workforce comes across as genuinely friendly. Big enough to offer anything you need in the Honda line, yet small enough to treat us right (every time) More

Luis Arango is an ace! Just purchased another car from Zimmerman Honda with Luis Arango as our salesman. Luis is excellent. He knows the features of the car and makes sure h Just purchased another car from Zimmerman Honda with Luis Arango as our salesman. Luis is excellent. He knows the features of the car and makes sure he provides a very complete overview of the car's operation when he sells a vehicle. Luis always follows up on every item we ask about. The entire dealership staff is friendly and helpful. You never feel like you are being oversold on service and always feel confident that we are getting good advice. Hondas have proven to be great, reliable cars with fantastic gas mileage and great safety features for our family. More

Zimmerman Honda is THE place to buy your next car.. Aaron Miguel has been such a great person to work with. This is our third CR-V we've bought at Zimmerman's because of our excellent experiences, and h Aaron Miguel has been such a great person to work with. This is our third CR-V we've bought at Zimmerman's because of our excellent experiences, and he is our favorite to work with. He's attentive and courteous, and always with a smile. He can answer any of our questions regarding the car's features, helping us make our buying decision easier. The excellence of Zimmerman Honda starts with the courteous voices of the ladies as they take our phone call, and continues throughout the dealership. Each time I've brought my car in for service I've been treated kindly and promptly, and they always take good care of my car. We've been very happy with Zimmerman's and won't plan to go anywhere else. More

Maintenance I had them perform a routine maintence, that of replacing the timing belt and water pump. When I started to drive away I noticed an engine vibration I had them perform a routine maintence, that of replacing the timing belt and water pump. When I started to drive away I noticed an engine vibration that was not there before. Initially they were hesitant to to believe that it had anything to do with the worked they performed. There upon I agreed to drive it home in hopes that it was possibly a motor mount issue that would resolve itself. The next day I called the service consultant and he suggested that I bring it back for evaluation. They rechecked the timing and several other possible causes but to no avail. The vibration still persisted. And I was told that the worked performed was correct. So the tech asked me what I wanted them to do. I said please fix it. They then gave me a loaner car to return home. They called later saying basically they did all they could. But the vibration was still there!!! I assumed I would be picking up my car and just living with the vibration waiting for some future engine failure. But to my surprise I discovered that they believed my protests that the vibration was not there before. They reperformed the entire procedure and discovered the cause and corrected it. No more vibration. My faith in the adage the "customer is right" has been renewed. Those at Zimmerman Honda from the personal attention by the service consultant, mechanics even the owner himself made great effort to correct the problem. Zimmerman Honda has won my trust and great admiration! I would recommend them to anyone. Paul S From Kewanee Illinois More
