Zimmie's Tire & Auto
We are a family-owned & operated light truck and automotive service and repair shop that has been proudly serving Lockport and the greater Western New York region since 1943. Our knowledgeable and experienced staff guarantees quality and price competitive products and services.

We understand how important your personal or work vehicle is to you and understand the trust you place in us to ensure that your car or light truck is serviced and maintained properly.We appreciated your continued business. Feel free to call or stop in regarding inquiries, quotes or estimates.
Services
We pride ourselves on being a one-stop shop for any and all of your vehicular repair and maintenance needs. Our extensive parts inventory and staff are ready to take care of your car or truck "same day, " not next week. It is our goal to provide you with quality service at a price you can afford for any job, no matter how big or how small, in a timely manner.
Tires have been a business focal point since we began servicing vehicles for the public way back in 1943! Tires are very important to your vehicle and nobody understands this more than the staff at our facility. Our tire inventory consists of everything from wheelbarrow and lawnmower tires to 10 ply truck tires and 11R22.5 tractor trailer tires.
Let's face it, tires are what we're riding on and often times they can be overlooked as a critical aspect of how your vehicle performs. Tires not only play a major role in the handling and grip of your car or truck on varying road surfaces and conditions (dry, wet, snow, ice) but they also play a critical role in what type of fuel mileage you're getting.
Our vehicles are no different than us. A trip to the dentist can result in a need to fill a cavity due to lack of or inadequate brushing and flossing. Your vehicle requires regular maintenance and check-ups to prevent a need for a costly repair further down the road. We realize this and do our best to look over your vehicle when it is in our shop to recommend suggested repairs or maintenance.

Took my 2008 Scion tC in for a exhaust leak which almost killed me a few days prior. They were able to remedy the situation in it's entirety. I have not had any leaks and they most certainly went above and beyond on the job. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in the area needing trustworthy work done for a great price. Long time Lockport local it's great to know we have this kinda quality support in our hometown! Do the job once and right at Zimmies!

I Thank them for their patience with me as it was a hectic morning. They didn't make me feel terrible when waiting for me to make a decision as we are strapped for cash. But wouldn't let me leave unsafe as well. They tried going the extra mile for me even when I wasn't being the easiest at the moment. Normally I am not that customer but it was definitely a rough morning. They made it easier for me to get on with my day and that's all they wanted for me. Was to get.on with my day.
Thank you guys for your patience so much. The small things matter to your customers!!

This old chunk of coal has been taking his vehicles here regularly for many years. The job always gets completed on time and they're always up front with me about options and cost. I like to watch TV.

Excellent, honest, and very knowledgeable. I had some trouble with my tires and they explained my options to me. You can tell they’re a well run business. I offered to pay for the service they performed quickly and efficiently but they said I won’t be charged anything. They are considerate of your time and will give you a fair estimate of how long it will take them to do something. Their prices are very reasonable as well. I highly recommend them.

I have been going to Zimmies for most of a lifetime and I have never had anything but good service at a reasonable price. Yes I know how to do most of the things that their shop mechanics do, I have rebuilt engines and transmission's, changeed tires , patched tires, but now most of the time I have them do it. They are quick and do everything you ask right the first time. I know at least three generations of the family and they have kept a consistent quality repair shop alive and growing. You should go there!

Good guys. My wife and I had one tire blowout on us and the other front one chewed and ready to go any time, and only one donut spare, while we were 50 miles or so from home, managed to get here without the 2nd tire going, and they took the car right in and took care of it without a wait. We were in and out in about half an hour. Salvaged the first vacation we'd had in years, kept it from turning into a total disaster. Definitely recommend them for your business.

I set an appointment and it was within a few days (because they are so busy, but its worth it) They had my appointment first thing in the morning for an oil change and once I got there they already had my appointment pulled up and immediately put my car in the garage. I appreciate the fast paced working environment and I appreciate the professionalism.

I just got 4 tires mounted and balanced here. $160 for all 4 low profile tires (245/30/20) what a lot of shops could not do. Excellent customer service! Got the job done same day with no hassle. I will definitely be back here and recommending to family and friends.

Back when I had my old Chevy Cavalier I went to Zimmies for two different repairs. Both times I went the staff was wonderful and treated me and my car with the upmost respect. They gave my heads up on possible problems in the future and the one time something broke as they were repairing my car and they fixed it right then and there at no extra charge. These guys are class and would highly recommend. The only con is that they don't do reservations so it's first come first serve, but I still would say they should be one of your first choices.

Great Shop, with excellent and friendly service. They have always been great, honest, fair, and accommodating with me. I actually hate taking my car to mechanics, unless, it's beyond my scope. They have been very awesome handling big and small things, so I return the favor and pick up tires there as well. Prices have been good!

This is a great auto shop. The owner Doug is always there and always friendly. His son is also very friendly. I have a tendency to ramble on and on and they listen to me with no complaints. Doug never tries to upsell you. If you need something fixed, he fixes it. If you do not need something fixed, he lets it alone. Prices are very reasonable.

Invader Zimmie!

I cant say enough about Zimmies' Tire Service, Incorporated! Their so nice I can take my junker car there and they never laugh at me, even though other people do. They fixed everything except I can't get some radio stations in when I'm in Lockport. Is someone jamming them? My neighbor wears tin foil on his head, but I don't think that's whats doing it. Gramma thinks it's the canal. But back to Zimmies. My muffler was dragging and I tried to fix it myself with a bunggie chord but it melted. I thought for sure Zimmie would laugh, but not even then.
