Gary diagnosed and replaced my Harmonic Balancer. Fast Service and a Great Value! I'm

I went in AC needing my Corvette rear end body damage repair. I was told that the body shop manager was top notch, but had a temper. I tried to be very respectful to his talent and knowledge as we discussed the repair. He said we would need a new quarter panel also as well as rear cover piece. He showed concern on matching the paint on a 20 year old car. He stated his schedule was full but yeah, he could do it. He mentioned looking for 20 yr old parts and I said, what if I find the parts and bring them in? Oh oh, his demeaner changed! He said he wouldn't guarantee the repair and that he would like to make some money off of the parts! I let him know this job would not be covered by insurance, but my personal savings. He said he would start looking for parts and do a work up estimate and call me. After no call for 4 weeks I called back. He said he remembered my car and was getting estimates for parts in Florida. OK. 4 more weeks and no call, he blew me off. I went to a recommended, 5 star, shop in south Austin and we shopped together in his office for parts on the internet. We found the 2 pieces and I and went and picked them up out of town. Work started the next Monday and car was ready just under 2 weeks! The matching of the paint turned out to be cheaper and they reduced my bill by $300! Car looks great! I have never been blown off by a repair man before! Still no call back, ha ha. RUDE! read more

I've brought my 1975 Corvette to Austin Corvette twice now, and both times have had great service from Gary and the staff. They have plenty of experience working on classic corvettes and understand their quirks. Gary has been honest with the cost of labor and parts needed to get the job done. I'm a satisfied customer and will continue bringing my 75 Vette to get serviced here. read more

Austin Corvette - 1975 Corvette AKA Debra - Body Shops Near Me - Austin, Texas

Please. Dear god, if you value your Corvette the slightest bit, do not take your car to this place. I wanted to buy a Corvette from a friend in Austin but not knowing too much about Corvette's, I wanted a 3rd party to check it out. The worst mistake I could have made was to take it to this place. The buyers inspection: The two main concerns that I had before buying the car was a rattle that the car made when going over bumps and the condition of the magnetic ride control because it looked like it was leaking. I made mention of the greasy shocks and rattle during the buyers inspection. I was told by Austin Corvette that the rattle was the aftermarket sway bar and that the shocks were fine and that "Corvettes leak a little, that's just what they do". Well, lets fast forward now. I own the car. Austin Corvette charged me $420.35 for a stock sway bar that didn't fix anything. Why? Because the rattle was from the blown shocks that I said were bad in the first place !!!!!!!!! $6,350 dollars for the new magnetic ride control shocks. I feel like I paid 7K too much at this point. Do not go here!!! read more

This place was recommended by a co-worker. Took my 81 Corvette there and Gary was very helpful and straightforward about the needs of the car. Stayed within my budget and got the car state inspection ready. Definitely recommend this place for all Corvettes. I will be taking mine back soon to get some more work done. read more

I will highly recommend Austin Corvette to my fellow members of the Longhorn Corvette Club of Austin. I took my 05 Vette in for a battery issue. Owner spent time looking for drain problems. He could not find any obvious issues. He recommended several tests before going out and spending money on a new battery. He refused to charge me anything. Very honest and knowledgeable. read more

I took my 1995 Corvette into Austin Corvette. The air conditioning controls were working intermittently. Some of the lights would come on and some wouldn't. Sometimes the AC worked sometimes it didn't. Gary diagnosed the problem - the contacts were corroded. He pulled out the unit and polished the contacts. It works just as good as when I purchased the car in 1995. It has less than 50k miles on it and has spent its life in my garage - even so, the contacts needed to be cleaned. Can't tell you how supremely satisfied I am with this service. It was repaired in one day. Price was very reasonable. Dash doesn't rattle. read more

I had them paint my hood and I have like 6 clear coat/paint imperfections. It is so visible that I dont want to take the car out and have people see how bad this paint/clear coat issue is. I took my hood into Austin Corvette only to have it sit there unattended for 1-2 weeks (hard to say how long it really sat there). When I brought the car in to get the hood installed they installed in in such a way that my front bumper was almost pulled off of the car when I pop'd the hood for the first time... Now I am seeing paint problems. I paid almost $1,000 to get this hood painted and it wasent done correctly. read more

They charge you 30% more than the dealer to work on your corvette. Why go here then? What a joke!

You will regret taking your corvette to this shop. I've had to correct just about everything that they worked on when I brought my corvette there. They stole a key component out of my antilock brake system, their transmission guy cut the computer control circuit out of my transmission, they broke some switches in my console and claimed that they were like that when I brought it in. Uggh! I won't be taking my vette back there. Undoubtedly, they have the capability of doing some good work, but I haven't seen much evidence on the job they did on my car. read more

Poor work, customer service, expertise.... Took my 69 vette in several times. Gary is always good at leaving a couple things left to do so you have to come back and he just does not comprehend no one lives any where near his shop. They also pull you in and then if you make the mistake of not asking for a clear estimate when he calls back and starts his gibberish, it will always come back around $1700 when you pay the bill. No matter what. The last time I used them, they blew my head gasket and acted like it was like that when I showed up. I mean the car was billowing smoke on the way home when I had no issues going there. Gary is almost combative and his sons/crew just dont know these cars. Get a crystal clear estimate up front and in writing. Even so dont think that these have any specific knowledge of corvettes over the jiffy lube - they don't. My head gasket by the way lead to a full rebuild, I would never let these guys touch the car again. Sloppy work and extremely poor service. read more

Miss diagnosed my car called to see what they would do to resolve the issue the response was we can take the part off and give you your money back. Not we will fix your car. Crappy service read more

These guys work hard to make sure your car is running smoothly. I have been in MANY times, all for different corvette-tastrophes, and they have always done a great job. From engine fans to turn signals, and new brakes to oil changes. Only positive things to say. Thanks Gary and Thomas for keeping me safe on the road and always answering my never-ending corvette questions. read more

I don't know where some of these other reviewers are coming from... I've had Austin Corvette do extensive work to both of the Corvettes I have now (1980 and 1989) as well as a 1984 I used to have and they've always done right by me. They are hands down the best Corvette specialists around. read more

This shop is a top of the line specialty shop, performing execllent repairs both mechanically and body shop/paint repairs. You get exactly what you pay for. If you don't have the money for the repairs needed on your vehicle, you will only get the repairs done that fall in your price range. And if it is not a Corvette you own, it is best to bring it to a body shop that does refinish work on all cars, not a Corvette specialty shop. They are a CUSTOM shop--Corvettes. And they have done many, many excellent jobs with high reviews. read more

Do NOT go to Austin Corvette for anything. I had to take my Chevelle there because they work along with a windshield shop that's right next to it. I wanted my front window replaced, my rear window resealed and all the rust removed from around my windows. It was convenient for them to do it since they were right there. Well apparently if you only have a budget of 1,000 to 1,500 dollars that means they can do sloppy work. In addition to having the windows installed and rust removed I had them install a mini starter, repaint my A pillars, replace the package deck, paint the inside bottom part of the dash (where it's not covered by the dash pad) as well as a portion of metal at the bottom of the inside of my back window. I was going to have them replace my headliner as well. But this is what happened. Installing the mini starter, works great. Other than them not knowing how to get the old starter out of there without completely removing the headers. Which I've done many times and even explained to them how to do it. So, I got charged 2 hours of labor for that because they "couldn't figure it out." Also, when they took off my headers they didn't put the stage 8 clips back on. They said they were never there. Which is a complete lie. Why would I have stage 8 clips on only one side of the motor? Did these magically fall off? The good news is that I called Stage 8 and after hearing what these losers did. They sent me replacement clips for free! Austin Corvette did do a great job painting the A pillars. But for the dash they didn't completely paint it so once everything was back together you could still see the old color. Their excuse was "well you have to look for it to even see it." Seriously? You guys are a "show quality" car shop and you don't take the time to paint 4 extra inches on each side of the dash pad or pay attention to details!? They also didn't paint the very bottom of the piece of metal at the bottom of the rear window. so that was the old green color which could obviously be seen. It also looks like they just used a spray can to do the job on the dash and rear window metal piece. The package tray also had about an inch long piece on it where it looked like a sticker had been peeled off and it took off the surface of the cardboard. How does a "show quality" body shop not see that?! They knew I was on a budget so instead of doing the work smartly, knowing they could get into the middle of something and not be able to finish it because of my my original 1k budget. They just started ripping into everything. So, they tore out half my headliner and just left it hanging there. So, I couldn't see out of my back window. After they told me I hit my 1k budget I told them twice not to do anything else. They even asked me about my headliner twice at that point and I said don't do it. So they should not have even of touched my headliner. Why was it hanging there and why didn't they fix it? Gary, the head guy, who already had a bad attitude even when I first met him had an excuse for everything. At no point did he show any customer service skills whatsoever. He could not have cared less about me or my car. He tried to put the blame on me for everything in some form or fashion. And when he wasn't blaming me he would try to make my concerns sound like they were no big deal. They knew I had a budget. It was discussed at length. They should not have started stuff and left it unfinished when they knew my budget might not allow them to finish it. One of Gary's excuses was that "people come in here and spend 50 - 60K on their cars". How is that an excuse for sloppy work and not finishing stuff and generally just being an a-hole? I guess my measley 1,400 bucks wasn't good enough for him and his guys to put in any effort. Steer clear of this place and save yourself a BIG hassle. read more
