I just learned that Zirdum has passed. Sad news. I have not seen him in a long time but I was a customer and friend for many years in the past. He had always reminded me of the actor Dustin Hoffman! He was always telling his stories and joking around and lending a helping hand. He was always there to help solve your problem with your vehicle. I remember sitting in his office and having many talks. This is a true sad day. May you Rest In Peace Zirdum. You served many people and put many smiles on peoples faces in your many years of service. God Bless you my friend! - Posted by: Alan Marchand (Customer/Friend) on: Dec 20, 2023

Mr Zirdum's honest, skilled work ethic and customer care was self evident and will be missed. He helped keep my cars running and thus my lifestyle and taught me that there were decent, hard working people still in the world. Rest on peace. - Posted by: Vincent Lobo (Family friend) on: Aug 18, 2022
