Murpho’s Rod & Customs

I just moved to Austin and my hot rod got damaged in transit. I found Murpho’s and within 30 seconds of stopping by the shop, I already felt like a long time customer. Murph and Liana made me feel welcomed and made time in their jam packed schedule to get my repairs done. The work is they did is top notch and they went above and beyond with the work done.
Murpho’s is the real deal and I am a customer for life!

Quick update on last review, my rides still cruising! I drive her daily, in the TX summer heat, not one single stall, no issues. She scoots nicely with the AC cranking and I’m a happy car owner.

The best hot rod and custom car shop in the area. Yes, there is the celebrated Austin Sheep Shop not too far away. But avoid the prestige and celebrity (that you pay out the nose for) and let Murph restore or fix your car. This shop is run in a family style environment, and the guys take great care to do the job right. I had Murph chop my 1950 Shoebox Ford and let him have creative license. His creative vision and ability to get things done in a cost saving manor are greatly valued. I suspect he did a lot of overtime just to do it the right way. My next project will be a 1937 ford restoration and it will be done here at Murpho’s.

I own a 64 AMC Rambler station wagon. I’ve had it for years and drive it daily, but due to a lack of money and the lack of a mechanic who knew what to do with my car… I had put off giving it the attention it needed for a long time. I live two blocks from Murpho’s, and based on good vibes I got from them when calling around for quotes I thought I’d give them a try.
I LOVED Murpho’s! They were really thoughtful with my car. They paid attention to all the details it needed under the hood. Murph filled me in on everything he did and even advised me on other issues he noticed and how I can remedy them in the future. He even adjusted the spring on my gas pedal and painted my rusty air filter cover gratis just because he thought it would make my car look and drive better. The pricing was very fair and exactly what we had discussed when I brought my car in. After hit and miss experiences with my previous mechanic I’ll be with Murpho’s for the foreseeable future. Liana was wonderful too and we shot the shit for while in the office. You can tell that they really have a passion for what they’re doing and it really comes across in the quality of work they provide.
I’m hoping on using them in the future for body and paint, and plan to check out the boutique side of the shop soon. They even invited me to come by anytime just to hang out. I feel like I’ve not only found a new mechanic, but a great neighbor as well.
