BEWARE!! Unfortunately I spent over $140,000 on my car that took years to be worked on. This was for a full restoration. My car was finally delivered to me, after waiting all this time. The money that was spent is absolutely not a reflection of the work that was done. A lot of corners were cut. For almost a quarter of a million dollars, my car should have been in mint condition, instead it was returned to me with parts broken, and work half-way done. Please consider the recent reviews as an example of the reputation of this fraudulent business.

Can’t leave a review with no stars so I’ll leave one star just to put a review. I got an estimate for our 1950 Chevy for 25-30k to have it chopped and running. For the first 8 months we paid them 8k a month to get it going. Murpho avoided our calls and we got the run around from his staff. After paying 80k the car was not complete or even half way done. We would show up and everyone in the shop would be smoking weed and drinking very unprofessional. After being loyal customers for 8months paying consistently his staff started to be rude when we would call or show up and Murpho started to give us the cold shoulder and eventually avoided us. When money ran out and we tried to discuss with them we were told to pick up our vehicle although the motor was ordered and paid for but never put in the car. We were told by Murpho we needed a new motor so we purchased a 15k motor that he recommended than come to find out the motor he told us was no good worked perfectly when placed in another car while our new 15k motor sat in a crate at his place. This place is a rip off and treats customers poorly but if you party with them they may like you!!

terrible terrible service. i am not one for leaving bad reviews as it makes me feel bad, but i put an exception in on this. this place sucks balls. they were not nice at all, especially the lady in charge of welding (collate or however you spell it) and it was to the point i stopped letting them work on my car. do not go here unless you want your car messed up and your feelings hurt.

I brought my el Camino to get worked on when I picked up my car and drove it home. I found my gauges weren’t working. Issues with my vintage air and I brought the car back and i brought the car back and the wanted to charge me what was already supposed to be fixed. The welding that was done by kollette was poorly done. I do not recommend taking your car there and they double charge for choppy work. When I brought up the welding issue to kollette he was defensive and disrespectful.

Worst experience Murphos shop is a mess! Customer cars kept coming back not working and damaged. Murpho treats his employees like trash. He allows his girlfriend Kollette to treat people like hired help. He avoids talking to customers and talks bad about them behind their backs even tho these people pay his bills. Do not take your vehicle here if you are serious about the work. Unethical place with unethical leadership.

I have proof of Murphos charging customers 120 dollar per hour and having people work on the cars that have no business doing so . Proof he is just clocking hours.Also took my car back down to bare metal with suspicions of bad metal fab and 1/4 inch thick bond to try and cover it up . spent $$ sand blast and t expose the real Murpho ! This work was all done at the old shop 2016. Bad chop , spot welds and shaved handles that weekend and warped the metal all exposed for all to see a central Texas autoworx.I paid absolute top dollar as you all know who know this shop . Taking my 63 Lincoln back down to bare metal exposed all of his work that he charged 120/hr to have amateurs doing the job . no offense to these guys in the shop Murpho has zero for retention rate. To get bak to the point this work needs to be exposed .Head on over to Central Texas auto worx to see his work exposed . Central Texas autoworx will be responsible for getting the work done right like it should have been done from the get. Don't be fooled out there bondo build ups to mask imperfections are extremely hard to see by the untrained eye (magnet test) also nobody out there has the balls to take back down to bare metal and see what's really real. All this circles back to applying a 25k paint job and having it crack and split 2 to 5 years later bc of bad metal work at the core .If you plan on building a car you better buckle up cause this shop is going to take you for a ride!!!!!Look at pictures the roof chop when he welded it back together absolute trash there is a holeLiterally in the metal . Look at the imdention the just covered up with bondo built it up instead of doing it right . The side rail trim we cut off and straight tunnel Ed it . He just tack welded and then built up more bondo to hide instead of weldingThe entire tunnel seem .long of bondo at murphos .Truth

Follow up on my post of 9/21/2023. Now, I've caught them in another lie. The reason my $3700 set of gauges don' work is because i have a bad alternater . Not true folks, I had my alternater analyzed this morning. Nothing wrong with it. Sorry Murpho's. You are out of excuses. My 100K car is in worse shape now. They tampered with the timing and carburetor and obviously don't possess these talents. Good luck if you go in there on an open end clock with no estimate or signed agreement. This dog won't hunt. They referred me to their attorney who has lock jaw, and placed me under a criminal trespass warning simply to make me go away.

Very expensive restoration shop, was told they are not A budget shop, not for the novice car builder. Their park and shines are ok. If you dont have 70 or 80 k or more. Dont bother..
