Our story
Welcome to Z & S Imports — ZSI, a business built around a genuine passion for German automobiles.
Since 1982, we have been working hands-on with Volkswagen, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. What started with a love for these cars has grown into decades of experience in restoration, automotive parts, custom engine conversions, and used vehicle sales.
We don't just sell parts or work on cars — we live and breathe German automobiles.

Finding the right part for an older German vehicle isn't always easy.

Our inventory and sourcing network includes common replacement parts as well as rare OEM, NOS (New Old Stock), and NLA (No Longer Available) components.

From difficult repairs and hard-to-find parts to complete restorations and custom engine conversions, our experience allows us to provide practical advice based on real hands-on knowledge.
We've been performing Vanagon and Eurovan engine conversions for decades, and we understand the unique challenges that come with maintaining and restoring older German vehicles.
If you're trying to identify a part, solve a technical problem, or figure out the best way to bring an old vehicle back to life, we're here to help.
