Default Aikman Performance in Cedar Park, TX

Hey all,

Any feedback on Aikman Performance? My ZR1 has a rattle coming from the torque tube. I'm thinking it might be clutch related. Is Aikman a viable option?

I had them do the clutch in my c5. Upfront, nice, and did good work. I would use them again. Since it's a smaller shop you might have to wait a week or two to get in.

Follow up to my own post. The car had a couple issue. The recall for the master cylinder and a cat that was disintegrating. That was my rattle. Pretty happy with the service.

I saw your car up at the shop. It's in very good condition. Glad it wasn't anything too serious.

Called these clowns to get a cam swap price 5 days ago. Messaged them on Facebook and these idiots STILL can't get back to me with a price.

Only reason I am calling Aikman is because Henderson Performance ins't doing Motor Work.

Henderson has worked on my 620 WHP GTO / 330 WHP Cobalt SS and my Vette.

If these guys can't return a phone call I don't trust them to touch my car. I didn't trust them years ago when I lived in Steiner Ranch I drove all the way to Henderson and after them not returning calls I really don't trust them.

Will be looking at going outside of Austin for this next Cam Swap on my Vette.

Super Disappointing.

Any performance shop that can't get back to a customer regarding a simply inquiry on LABOR is ******* trash. Period. I don't care how you look at it or how you wanna Biased Dice it up.

Learn how to do BASIC BUSINESS principles. Its funny because I always wonder why these shops never make MILLIONS and now I know why.

The people running them are ******* terrible at running a BUSINESS!

You’re the one who seems trashy based on the above comment.

Agree, looks like they dodged a bullet with this potential "customer", if they show this much anger over an un-returned phone call!

Very expensive and long wait, but only real shop in the Austin area.
I've always used the ones in Houston and Dallas.
