Zimoco is the only official Mercedes Benz distributor in Zimbabwe and their commitment to vehicle sales and workshop service remains a prime focus in line with standards of the global German car manufacturer.

With regular servicing of your Mercedes Benz vehicle at Zimoco, their expert trained technicians maintain your car’s optimum performance, comfort and safety using Mercedes Benz genuine parts to keep your car running the way Mercedes-Benz engineers intended.

“Zimoco workshops work with state of the art Mercedes-Benz star diagnostic equipment that is constantly online and updated by Mercedes Benz in Germany.

“This sophisticated diagnostic equipment not only links directly with German technical specialists and other Mercedes Benz specialists worldwide for problem solving, but also has the ability to communicate with your car in identifying fault codes and performance history.

“This high tech equipment is designed to get to the heart of your car like no other diagnostic tools on the market,” said Zimoco.

“Having your car serviced at Zimoco means that the customer maintains their Mercedes Benz Electronic Service record which helps to improve your car’s value when you come to sell it. It is important to note that Zimoco only uses genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.”

Zimoco said a copy is never as good as the original, especially when the original is a Mercedes!

Mercedes Benz genuine parts are state of the art thanks to precisely defined manufacture specifications and a comprehensive quality monitoring programme.

The Mercedes Benz dealer said genuine parts are often perceived to be more costly than alternative parts but it should be noted that these items are manufactured under very strict quality protocols demanded by car makers to minimise engine wear and therefore to prolong vehicle service life.

Zimoco said spare parts at their disposal they are made using the finest quality materials meaning that apart from longevity they also offer unrivalled reliability making them excellent value for money.

“Safety is also paramount at Mercedes-Benz and so you should not compromise your safety by using fake parts. If you buy spare parts through Zimoco you are guaranteed a one year warranty, so if you require a replacement part within this time, your part will be changed and fitted free of charge.

“The best way to maintain the performance, handling, comfort and safety of your car is to use Mercedes Benz genuine parts purchased and fitted by Zimoco,” said the car dealer.

Whether you need a larger repair, like a new body panel or have a smaller problem that needs fixing like an annoying scratch on the door, Zimoco Body Repair Centre is equipped to restore your Mercedes Benz to as close to its pre-accident condition as possible.

Zimoco once again guarantees that Mercedes Benz parts are used and that repairs are carried out to the highest standard.

It is also interesting to note that if you are involved in an accident and your Mercedes-Benz requires body repair work as part of an insurance claim, you should insist on the work being carried out by Zimoco as a Mercedes Benz approved body shop to guarantee that your car is returned to as close to the original condition as possible.

Premium Brands attract discerning customers and at Zimoco a significant amount of after sales work focuses on the ‘value proposition”.

As a result, Zimoco has introduced a very competitively priced “Value Service” for the full range of Mercedes Benz vehicles and they will continue to look at other promotions to suit your pocket.

Compare the additional benefits you receive from Zimoco against the risks and inconvenience of having your vehicle serviced at non-authorised independent repair shops and you will find Zimoco to be excellent value for money.

Zimoco is also the sole distributors of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Alpha Romeo and GWM in Zimbabwe as well as Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Buses, Freightliner and Fuso Trucks.

These brands are all serviced and supported by Zimoco through dedicated after sales service with the same quality associated with Mercedes-Benz and Zimoco.
