I've been working with MetalWork Austin for 4 years now for various custom metal pieces (small &…read morelarge) for my husband and I's business, and we would never go elsewhere! They take pride in what they do which shows in the quality of their craftsmanship, professionalism, personal care, and attention. When we needed a custom grill, they worked with us on exact needs from a functional and artistic stance with cost in mind, and kept us informed every step of the way on the progress of the work. The grill is not only beautiful but performs in every way we need! The owner Ryan even put some creative touches on it, and made great suggestions we hadn't thought about that really made it special. The largest piece we have from them is our own company sign. The design is unique, eye-catching, and definitely built to last! This was a big investment for us and an important one. The MetalWork Austin team was incredibly efficient, communicative, and effectively creative on this project in every aspect. They constantly moved us forward in getting our sign designed, and with the right material options picked, then built and installed how we wanted. There was even a delay in obtaining some of the materials we picked due to the last major hurricane, but they kept us informed and updated on changes and timelines. Hands down this is the most creative, efficient and friendly team of people I've worked with for custom build needs. My husband and I recommend them to everyone! If you appreciate working with a locally owned and family operated company that truly cares about the work they produce on a high quality level, absolutely check them out.

Really disappointed with this company. Evidently they under quoted the project and complained…read moreabout it as if it was my fault. Worse, they didn't make the order to my specifications. I had no choice but to accept the biggest error they made . But they still charged me more without any discussion with me. I paid for it but got a sob story from the owner when I asked him to please fix another important issue. Now I have to take my order to another fabricator to fix it. I've worked with fabricators all over the world and never been treated like this. Next !

Came here for a car inspection on a Tuesday morning and lemme tell ya - these folks are fast and…read moreefficient. It's a small place but seems quite equipped to manage a lot of car issues, and the gentleman who did my inspection that day (Charlie) was the sole person doing them, so he was cranking through a list of folks. They put your name on the clipboard when you arrive and just go straight down that list. I'd called beforehand to confirm their hours and theyd advised to come early so I came around 9a or so. I think the wait was about 15-20 mins? Really wasn't bad, I just fiddled with my phone and sat in my car. The actual inspection was also pretty fast, like 10 mins or maybe even a bit less. I appreciated the efficiency. Of note they do charge a 3% credit card fee. A lot of places do that nowadays, but that was really the only "surprise." They also offer a basic inspection ($12, basics to renew car reg) or a more thorough one for $18 where they check your wipers and lights etc.

Every once in a while, Austin reminds you why you fell in love with it in the first place--and…read moresurprisingly, this time it happened during an oil change. Let's be real: getting your oil changed usually ranks somewhere between "waiting at the DMV" and "realizing you forgot your charger at home." But Lube Pit Stop on South Lamar managed to turn it into the best oil change experience I've ever had in this city. And I don't say that lightly. From the moment I pulled in, the vibe was pure old-school Austin--friendly, unpretentious, and refreshingly human. No corporate script. No forced smiles. Just genuinely kind, courteous folks who seem to actually care about the people driving through their bays. Here's what really stood out: No upselling. None. Zero. Zilch. No "while we're at it..." scare tactics. No mystery fluids that suddenly must be replaced. Just honest work, clearly explained. Quick and efficient. I barely had time to scroll Yelp before they were done. In and out without feeling rushed or overlooked--an impressive balance. Kindness across the board. The entire team was polite, professional, and approachable in a way that feels increasingly rare. It wasn't flashy--it was sincere. And here's the kicker: when I drove away, I felt good. No second-guessing. No lingering "did I just get taken?" anxiety. Just the calm confidence that comes from dealing with people who do their job well and don't try to squeeze every extra dollar out of you. They also do state inspections, which is officially the cherry on top. One stop, no nonsense, handled by people you trust? That's a win in Austin traffic math. This is the kind of local business you root for. The kind you tell your friends about. The kind that quietly becomes your place without you even realizing it. Lube Pit Stop is officially who I'll be using from now on--and honestly, I hope they never change a thing. Highly recommend. Old Austin energy. Solid service. Zero BS.

After calling AAA and finding out they don't plug/patch tires, I found Angel's company via a Google Maps search of my area. I called him and let him know of the issue and he said he'd be there within a half hour. Not only was he at my location within a half hour, the tire was patched, back on my car, and I was on my way home within that half hour! He's extremely professional, personable, and took great care of my car in my time of need. Highly recommend his services.
