About Us

Larry'Z AutoWorks is a family-owned and operated business that was established in 1978 by Larry Zimmerman. With a love for and tinkering with automobiles, he set out to make a name for himself. He strived to provide quality repair with an honest outlook. Now with 40+ years in business, Larry'Z has become a well known name in the Sacramento area. In early 2000, Larry took his son, Aaron, under his wing and today Aaron continues to run the business. He carries on the tradition of a reliable and honest auto shop. Larry'Z namesake passed away in 2019, but his name and legend lives on in the heart of Larry'Z AutoWorks.

Reviews

We've been in business for over 40 years and our reviews speak for themselves!

Aaron is by far the hottest shop owner in town! He always makes me laugh and is willing to go the extra mile for his customers. He communicates well and makes a pretty outstanding filet minon too! An extra bonus is that he is honest, trustworthy and is damn good at his job! I will be a loyal Larry'Z AutoWorks customer for life!
-Alex B. (Aaron's wife)
I just brought my car here for the first time, and I'm very impressed!! I had to part ways with my old mechanic of 10 years and I think I've found just what I needed, a trustworthy mechanic. I can say that with confidence because this might be the first time I had my BMW serviced for under $1000 and it's driving like a dream. I'm so grateful!
-Von B.
I've been bringing my car here for easily 10 years (they do such great work it's still running!). Always great work and honest. Aaron always makes sure you understand the inner workings of your car and the needed repairs. Never any pressure. Mechanics you can absolutely trust.
