Every quote is written before we start. Every price below is what you pay — no surprises at pickup.
Prices are starting rates. Final quote provided in writing before any work begins. We will never exceed your approved estimate without your explicit approval.
No confusing steps. No hidden handoffs. Just three easy moves and your car is done.
Pick your service, choose a date, and tell us about your car. Takes under 2 minutes. Same-day slots are often available.
We walk you through the inspection together, confirm the written quote, and get to work. We'll text you with updates.
Pay only what was quoted. We'll show you what we did and when to come back. No surprises — ever.
We don't just say we're good — we have the credentials to back it up.
Our entire team holds active ASE certifications across all 8 automotive service areas — the industry's highest standard.
Accredited by the Better Business Bureau since 2007. A+ rating with zero unresolved complaints in 17 years.
Annually inspected and approved by AAA — one of only a select few shops in Austin to hold this distinction.
All parts and labor warranted for 2 years or 24,000 miles, whichever comes first. No questions asked.
Mike Delgado opened Ironclad Auto in 2003 with one bay, two lifts, and a handshake promise: no surprise charges, ever. Two decades later, the shop has grown — but the promise hasn't changed. We're still family owned, still on South 1st, and still the kind of place where the mechanic comes out to explain the repair in plain English.
A small team by design — we know every car we touch, and every customer by name.
Engine and drivetrain specialist. Mike founded Ironclad in 2003 and still turns wrenches every day. He's the reason people drive from Round Rock just for an oil change.
Carlos can diagnose a brake issue by sound alone. He holds ASE certifications in brakes and suspension, and has a reputation for explaining the repair without the jargon.
If it involves wiring, sensors, or a check engine light, Calvin is your guy. He's solved problems three other shops gave up on — and he'll show you the scan data himself.
Real Austin drivers, real cars, real results.
"I've been bringing my cars here for six years. Mike quoted me $240 for a brake job. I paid $240. That consistency is worth everything. These guys are the only shop I trust."
"Check engine light came on Friday afternoon. Calvin had me diagnosed and fixed by Saturday noon. Explained exactly what it was, showed me the part that failed, and charged what he quoted. Done."
"Rosa is a genius. Three other shops told me I needed a full suspension overhaul — $1,800+. She found a worn bushing in 20 minutes and fixed it for $95. Ironclad has a customer for life."
