ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Rockford’s Zimbrick Saturn closed nearly two weeks ago because the product line will no longer be produced by GM.

This unfortunately leaves Saturn owners without a local provider to honor their warranty. Lou Bachrodt Automall looks forward to providing superior service for warranty, extended warranty, repair issues, or maintenance items that Saturn owners may have.

Locally owned and operated since 1953, Lou Bachrodt Chevrolet – located at Lou Bachrodt Automall is now managed by second and third generation family members Patrick Bachrodt and his daughter, Rachel Bachrodt.

Mr. Bachrodt said, “We are saddened to lose yet another great auto dealer in Rockford, especially when it affects our community so greatly. However, we are proud to welcome Jason Kline, one of the Master GM and ASE Technicians that took care of Saturn owners at Zimbrick Saturn, to our team here at Lou Bachrodt. We know that this will provide some consistency for Saturn owners as they get to know the rest of our Master ASE and GM certified technicians at Lou Bachrodt Automall on Cherryvale Boulevard. Our team is extremely qualified and can provide service to all makes and models of vehicles.”

GM will soon be notifying all Saturn owners of their decision; however we thank you for your help in notifying our community immediately. We all know how important it is to know exactly where to go and who to call when car trouble interrupts our busy days.
