Breakdowns and repairs
If your car starts behaving oddly on the road, drive it to us if it is safe to do so. We check it, tell you what is wrong and what the repair costs, and only start once you agree.
We handle mechanical and electrical faults on cars and vans, from brakes and suspension to batteries and starting problems.
Please note: we do not offer towing or roadside assistance. If your car cannot be driven, call your insurer or the assistance number on your rental agreement and ask them to bring it to Z-Garage, Via Francesco Gondrand 2, Solferino. We will take it from there.
Electronic diagnostics
We connect the car to our diagnostic equipment, read the fault codes and check what they really mean. Then we tell you whether it is safe to keep driving and what, if anything, needs repairing.
Useful before a long drive home: you leave knowing the state of your car.
Tyres and punctures
A slow puncture or a damaged tyre can ruin a holiday. We repair punctures when the tyre allows it, or replace the tyre, with fitting and balancing.
If we need to order a specific size, we tell you how long it takes before we do.
Air conditioning
Summer on Lake Garda is hot, and a weak air-con makes every trip harder. We check the system for leaks, recharge the refrigerant and test that it cools properly.
Car rental
If you need a car for part of your holiday, ask us what we have available. The cars are maintained by our own workshop.
You will need a valid driving licence and an ID document. Tell us your dates and we will confirm availability and conditions.
EV charging
You can charge your electric or plug-in hybrid car at our wallbox before setting off again.
Message us before you come so we can confirm the wallbox is available.
