    Got a pretty much vip tour was a great experience!! Everybody there was super nice and inviting. Fun atmosphere great people. Glad I decided to visit. Thank you!!!!

    Merch Store's front entrance and parking area
    Ryan R.

    I'm not entirely certain why there are so many negative reviews and complaints, but after years of watching Fast 'N Loud, Misfits Garage, et al,. But I believe it comes down to people's expectations, and hopefully this information is helpful. I finally had the chance to visit GMG and its Merch Shop while my wife and I were home shopping in Dallas and Austin. Knowing that the garage itself is still an active filming location/studio, I set my expectations using the Interwebs to visit their website. Those expectations were exceeded! Immediately upon entering the Merch Shop, a staff member greeted us. People unfamiliar with Texas (I used to live in Dallas) need to know that it is a very different culture. Local folks are all very nice, polite, and they live a more laid-back, healthier pace. No business or person are perfect, so not trying to take away others' feelings if they were treated rudely, but I got the impression that to continue being successful, management runs a tight ship. We were checking out some of the gorgeous GMG-built cars inside and in the lot, and a staff member came over to let us know about a raffle (no cost to enter, but took the time to explain that purchases translate to points, and therefore additional entries). After telling him I was interested, he said he'd meet us at the front counter to register us, then asked if we needed help finding anything. He did exactly that, and the store was fairly packed with other customers, so we felt some "white glove, red carpet" treatment. Be aware that the store has a limited amount of space, however, they have at least 75% of the items on the shelf from their online store (which was awesome). We went on a Saturday, so I did not expect to see/meet Mr. Rawlings or his Monkeys. But they do have two large TVs with a feed to the garage. Since the garage was closed, they were playing clips from recent YouTube shows. Other reviewers who complained about no autographs, tours, what have you, should have called ahead or as I did, check out the Interwebs for details. Tours aren't offered and shouldn't be expected, and the GMG website accurately represents what is and is *not* open to the public. Also because of its TV fame, you can't just walk in and demand to have your car built. I asked the store manager about commissioned builds out of curiosity, and he gave me a direct phone number and email address to inquire. He politely said there was a waitlist, which again, is not a surprise. As a comparison, I visited a different DFW-area custom car shop, and they have a 3-year backlog/waitlist for commissioned builds. That shop is only known to locals and others plugged into the industry, they don't have a TV show or any national ads. I enjoyed the visit and talking with the Merch Store staff, and they deserve 5/5 stars for running a clean store with very helpful, polite staff. As a personal rule, I generally do not post reviews, but after seeing so many negative comments, I was compelled to set the record straight. Anyone planning to travel somewhere to visit a specific place of interest should at least make a phone call or check the Interwebs. Yes, another reviewer pointed out that Kount's Kustoms in LV offers tours, but that is clearly spelled out on their site (or if you call them), but you have to make reservations and pay for that. Just because both shops had/have a TV show, an "apples to apples" comparison that does not make! Here's my final takeaway: If you are a GMG fan like me, and you are going to be in the DFW Metroplex, it's worth the visit just to grab some Merch and epic photos. Some visitors who went during the week (including a friend and colleague of mine) have been fortunate to meet Mr. Rawlings and/or other folks in the garage. However, and I realize I'm repeating myself (that's intentional), I implore folks to set appropriate expectations. If you are in Dallas and looking for a "full experience" tour, then I highly recommend the JFK Museum in the Historic West End District. That site has been developed specifically for access to the public. GMG is still filming and posting to YouTube (check it out if you haven't seen it!), so be aware that for obvious reasons, the garage itself isn't open for tours. One helpful suggestion about seeing the garage and their high-end collection: If you are a serious buyer, reach out to Tony and his sales team through GMG's website, and they might consider a limited tour, if you're serious about buying one of their listed vehicles. No one buys a $50,000+ vehicle sight unseen. I hope this Bible-length review is helpful to at least one person, if not more. Stopping by while in town was definitely worth it, and I will do so again next time I'm in DFW!

    This is the store for the gas monkey garage . It has a lot of shirts hats and stickers. It has a area to watch the outside of the garage. There is a TV to see what is going on in the garage. It's a nice store and the employee was helpful and friendly.

    I had a really good experience visiting the site. The staff at the merch shop was awesome, she really knew her products and even gave me some recommendations for what to do in the area. Very cool. 25% military discount. That was huge. Most places do a max of 10% but I guess they really wanted to be good to troops. Would definitely recommend stopping by. Not a super long experience though. There was no restaurant open or anything like that when I was there. They have about 8 cars/trucks etc visible for the public to be able to see. Cool little stop. Unfortunately I went right as everyone was gone for the mecum auto auctions in Scottsdale. No worries still work it.

    My current vehicle is a Jeep Liberty 2007. I'm currently unemployed, and once I get some money. I'm gonna go check this business out.

    I've never been here before. However, I've seen their television show. It looks like an awesome place to get a classic car, road ready.

    This would have been the high point of our trip. My husband was so excited as he is a huge fan of the show. He has even been featured on the show as a look alike. We arrived on our way through to Alabama which happened to be on Memorial Day. They were closed of course. Sadly we took a few photos and drove away without a t- shirt or any swag. Richard we will see you on the flip flop.

    July 2019 I contact the Gas Monkey Garage prior to going to Texas. I let them know it was my boyfriend's birthday and that Gas Monkey Garage and another car show ( i left them unnamed in my email; however, it was Iron Resurrection) and I was wondering if there was an opportunity to maybe do a quick tour or just take a photo with the cast. I was told, "swing by, there's always someone and Richard usually will stop and take a quick photo with the visitors". I was excited to take him to Gas Monkey Garage. We watched the show religiously. My boyfriend grew up around cars as his step father owned a used car show and raised him around cars until he died a few years ago. His step father even gave him a 1968 Chevelle. Cars are a huge part of his life. Therefore, they were a huge part of my gift to him this year. We arrived to the Gas Monkey Garage store. We looked around, purchased a few items. Talked to the cashier, who just happened to be related to the owner of Stroker's. We talked with her for quite a while telling her about our visit to Stroker's and how its so hard to find Victory Motorcycle stuff. We asked about getting photos or a quick tour and she said, for us to wait out in the parking lot and Richard would probably stop and take photos with us. He did not. He did peel out in the green car that was in a movie he worked on. But that was it. I understand they are busy; however, there were about 6 of us outside. It would have been 5 mins of his time to take a few photos and thank his fans for stopping by. It was the same day as the first show of the new season in July 2019. We did not watch and have not watched a gas monkey garage show since. I was embarrassed that I made this part of his birthday gift. We literally took maybe 15 mins of time from the cast at Iron Resurrection and that was only because they offered to give us a quick tour for his bday. Needless to say, we are still fans of Iron Resurrection and no longer watch Gas Monkey Garage. It was discouraging that he didn't even take 5 mins out of his day after getting out of truck from lunch. He just walked into the shop like no one was there. I get they may have been busy because they were filming the commercial for the new episode but there is more to being on tv. There are the people that make the show successful and those are the fans. I was disappointed that I felt misled and that I in turn misled my boyfriend. The only reason why I gave 2 stars is because the staff in the store were awesome.

    I like honest car sales people…read more And from our latest car buying excursion, we continue to find them rare. For example, one of the other car dealerships prevented us from taking the car to an independent mechanic! You know they were hiding something with the car. Anyway, not only did Texas Cars Direct let us take the car to an independent mechanic, they were professional, not pushy like some of the other guys we dealt with, and easy to do business with. Mike, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you for selling us the newest car in our company fleet! P.S. If you come across a clean, unmolested 1990 to 1993 Mustang convertible, give me a call!

There was some minor issues but the most glaring was the check engine light. David said the issues would be taken care of, go to lunch and come back in a couple of hours. He called me and said they needed a part that would not be there until Monday. David paid for my flight home and said the truck would be shipped to me. I received the truck late the next week. When driving from where I received the truck, the check engine light came on. I notified him of this issue and he said to have it fixed locally and he would reimburse me. It has been several months and many texts and calls and still no reimbursement. Up until this point, David lived up to his word but I am extremely disappointed to have to write a partial negative review due to not receiving this promised reimbursement. In addition, the check engine issue took two times to resolve, the second requiring an additional cost which I decided to absorb thinking I would get the promised reimbursement. In closing, David did live up to his word on everything until this reimbursement issue so I can't give a 5 star review due to this

    I don't usually leave reviews, but RPM Garage absolutely deserves it…read more I've bought a handful of cars over the years, and this was hands down the best experience I've had. From the first call to the moment I drove off, everything felt straightforward, honest, and actually enjoyable--which is rare when buying a car. The inventory is on a completely different level. You can tell these guys are true car enthusiasts, not just a typical dealership trying to push units. The car I purchased was exactly as described--no surprises, no games. They were transparent about everything and encouraged me to get a PPI, which gave me even more confidence in the purchase. The whole team was professional but still very laid back. No pressure at all, just good conversation and real knowledge about the cars they sell. Paperwork was quick and smooth, and they handled everything efficiently. What stood out the most is how much they actually care about the customer experience. You're not just another deal to them--they take pride in what they do, and it shows. If you're even thinking about buying a car from RPM Garage, just do it. I'll definitely be back for my next one.

After that fiasco I decided to visit RPM garage and look at their inventory, and they have some really nice cars! If you go here ask for Trinity, he was super helpful and communicative. He practically restored my faith in car dealerships. He even was kind enough to take the car to get a PPI (any dealership worth their salt should let you PPI a car), it underwent a full inspection including bore scoping, and he even paid to have the spark plugs changed out of his own pocket! RPM has a real nice showroom, if you're a car guy or just anyone who likes fast and good looking cars, you won't regret stopping by here! Super happy with my new (to me) Porsche! Edit: to the 0 start reviews, these are used cars and NOT certified pre-owned cars. The condition of the car is entirely dependent on how well it was maintained by the previous owners, that is why you pay the $200 and get a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) so you're not left with thousands in repairs. Thought this was common knowledge...

I was reluctant to purchase from out of state, not knowing anything about the mechanics of a vehicle. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take someone with me to look at the car. I chose this dealership b/c of the reviews stating that the staff was friendly and it was a quick/easy transaction. I felt good about it, so my daughter and I made the trip from AR to TX to purchase her first car. The staff was extremely friendly. We test drove the car, seemed fine. We drove the car home and it seemed fine other than the headlights not working properly. Small things, and we brushed it off. We purchased this car on a Saturday and the following Monday, the entire engine blew in it. I haven't even made one payment on the car yet. So now I'm out the purchase price as well as the almost $10,000 it has cost me to have a new engine put in it, putting me in extreme financial debt. I could have purchased a newer car for that price. The dealership offered to rebuild it at their cost IF I would ship it back to them and then back to me. I guess I'm here to say, have someone go with you who works on cars and have them pull the oil pan and do a compression check (not hard tasks) to see if the engine is bad before you purchase the vehicle. For $26,000, I definitely did not get my monies worth. I also asked for them to come down on their asking price b/c the car blue booked for almost $2,000 less than their asking price. They said the car was at fair value and wouldn't budge over a couple of hundred dollars. Then added a "misc" fee in there to make up the difference they thought they lost. Bummer of a deal. I hope this helps someone out there.
