Ironclad Auto garage interior

21 years in South Austin

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.

The hands behind your repair

A small team by design — we know every car we touch, and every customer by name.

Mike Delgado
Mike Delgado
Master Technician · 18 yrs

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 Reyes
Carlos Reyes
Brake & Suspension · 9 yrs

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.

Calvin Webb
Calvin Webb
Electrical & Diagnostics · 6 yrs

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.

1,200+ five-star reviews. Here are three.

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."

Your car deserves honest repair.
