We had a problem with our car. Z-garage was very helpful to us. The boss helped us get discounts on a hotel as well (the breakdown happened on the weekend). Thanks to Z-garage, we were able to safely return home. Thank you and all the best.

If you are at Lake Garda and have a problem with your car, definitely visit this workshop. The turbo hose on our Transit had split. The part was ordered and arrived within a day. €55 excl. VAT.

How we work
- 01
We find the cause first
Electronic diagnostics before any repair, so parts are not replaced by trial and error.
- 02
A clear price before we start
We explain what needs doing and what it costs. If something else turns up, we ask you before going ahead.
- 03
Honest timings
We give you a realistic estimate and message you when the car is ready. Open on Saturdays too, until 3 pm.
One garage for the whole car
Mechanical repairs, tyres, air-con and diagnostics under one roof, with one person to talk to.
Charge your electric car with us
We have a wallbox for electric and plug-in hybrid cars at the workshop.
Send us a message before you come: we will confirm the wallbox is available and explain how it works.

Frequently asked questions
Do you speak English?
Yes. You can call us or, even easier, write to us on WhatsApp in English. We also speak Italian, Russian, Ukrainian and Romanian.
Can you look at my car today?
Send us a WhatsApp message with your car model and a short description of the problem, plus a photo or video if you can. We will tell you honestly when we can look at it.
Do you work on rental cars?
We can inspect and repair rental cars, but many rental companies want to approve repairs first. Check with them before you come, and we will give you a written quote they can look at.
Can you collect my car?
No, we do not offer towing or roadside assistance. If the car cannot be driven, ask your insurer or assistance service to bring it to us.
