I first began working for Zimmerman Honda in 1997 and have spent my whole career in the customer service industry. My focus is to help my customers find the vehicle that best suits their individual needs. My whole family drives Hondas and I personally am on my 20th. If given the opportunity to assist you I promise that I am not just here for the sale today and will make myself available to both yourself and your friends and family whenever needed.

Best of the Best Bought my 3rd vehicle from Vanessa, all I can say is you can't find a better sales rep. Buying a vehicle from Vanessa/Zimmerman Honda is about hassle Bought my 3rd vehicle from Vanessa, all I can say is you can't find a better sales rep. Buying a vehicle from Vanessa/Zimmerman Honda is about hassle free as you can get. After I took ownership of the 2016 Honda Accord Sport, Vanessa and I went out to the car and went over everything I wanted to know about and then linked my phone to the car. The staff is great and that goes for everyone at Zimmerman Honda. Never a dull moment. Again, thanks V for the great experience again! Dave Purdy More

Perfect in every aspect. Zimmerman Honda New Car Buying Experience. Perfect in every facet of the processes. My new car buying hopes started by visiting Zimmerman's website. Zimmerman Honda New Car Buying Experience. Perfect in every facet of the processes. My new car buying hopes started by visiting Zimmerman's website. I looked for and found through the website the car I was hoping to buy. I then Contacted their Internet sales service by email, which they kindly responded promptly with answers to all my inquiries. Once I was satisfied with their answers to all my questions, I made a simple appointment to visit the dealership. Sales Personal Vanessa Lager, had the car ready for me to look at and test drive upon arrival for my appointment. Vanessa, in any way she could made sure I was understanding everything about the car(s) I was test driving. Her product knowledge, her understanding of my own budget concerns, made buying a new car extremely easy. Zimmerman Honda's staff did everything they could to show me, how, I would get the car I wanted, plus stay within my budget concerns. Once I said yes to the NEW CAR with sales rep Vanessa, finance Agent Aaron Mielke, introduced himself. Aaron, proceeded to do a tremendous job explaining, what, why and when all the numbers that come along with buying a NEW car would mean to me. Consisting of, but not only - The trade in value of my car towards the new car, my monthly payment agreement, how we agreed to the final price, what other options ( which were optional ) were available to me through the Honda programs. The numbers were put forth in a very relaxing manner to make sure, once again I understood exactly what I was buying. One final note, this was all finished well after closing hours. Vanessa and Aaron spent the extra effort and time after hours to simply make sure, I was extremely satisfied with my decision before I drove off in my new car. Zimmerman Honda, Perfect in every aspect. More

Can't find a better Dealership This is my second SUV that I have bought from Zimmerman Honda, I just tell Vanessa what I want/need and she has found it for me both times. Doesn't t This is my second SUV that I have bought from Zimmerman Honda, I just tell Vanessa what I want/need and she has found it for me both times. Doesn't take her long before she tells me I have one for you. The process is semi-fast and painless . I will buy my 3rd car from them also. A question in this review was, Where you left alone for more then 5 minutes at any point, I answered yes. And I'm glad I was because I'm not a people person I like to be left alone. Keep up the great work Vanessa and Zimmerman Dave More

Vanessa's help Vanessa took her phone out to the CRV I was interested in and as I looked at the car's online pics she did a walk around describing any flaws as I had Vanessa took her phone out to the CRV I was interested in and as I looked at the car's online pics she did a walk around describing any flaws as I had told her I was very picky. When I went to the dealership several days later all I did was let her know I was coming and she was there to greet me, I looked at the CRV we talked about she was correct that one wasn't for. We then looked at all the other choices and found the perfect one for me. She and Zimmerman Honda made this the easiest car purchase. It was excellent service More

Zimmerman Honda finds the Honda you want. I sent 10 emails to nearby Honda dealers for a white HR-V LX 2WD. A couple dealers said there was only one in a six state area.

Marty answered my questions promptly either by phone, text, or email. He made us comfortable with the purchase, reviewed features of the SUV, and instructed us on operation. ...helpful! More

Very knowledgeable, friendly and very I have bought a few cars in the past from other car dealerships in the area. By far Zimmerman Honda is the best! Very knowledgeable, friendly and very professional. I interacted with Vanessa, who is the Internet Sales Manager and she was very pleasant to do business with. I know my next car purchase will be with Zimmerman. I wanted to buy this car for my wife, at the time was not present with me at the dealership. Even though Vanessa had another appointment the very same day in the next hour, but still she was able to drive back home with me, drop my car off, my wife could sign the paperwork and take me back to the dealership to pick my my new car.

We dealt with Vanessa Lager to negotiate a price on the vehicle, and were able to get a very good deal. This was the best possible deal we found anywhere in northern Illinois. Before signing the paperwork we took the RDX on a test drive and closely inspected the vehicle, which was in virtually new condition. We then bought the RDX and proudly drove it home, very satisfied. However the next day in the sunlight we found a 2 foot long scratch on the tailgate which was difficult to see. I took pictures of the damage and sent them to Vanessa, and after conferring with her by phone an appointment was made to paint the scratch. We felt we were partially at fault for not noticing the damage before we bought the car, and no one at the dealership noticed the damage either. We were worried we would have to pay for the paint job, but when we picked RDX up Vanessa informed us the dealership would pay for the repair at her insistence! We found Vanessa to be very courteous, honest, and forthright. We would strongly recommend this dealership to anyone and look forward to buying our next car there! More
