Abilene's honest outlaws.
We tell you what needs fixing now and what can wait, stand behind every quote, and get you back on the road fast. Cars, trucks and the project in your garage.
For all yall that hate dealing with mechanics, call this company… i didnt get overcharged for the first time in my entire life.
Fix now, or can it wait?
Every inspection comes back as a simple report with photos. Red needs fixing now, yellow can wait, green is good. You approve what you want right from your phone, and nothing gets done without your OK.
- Fix now. Safety items or problems that will cost more if they wait.
- Can wait. Worth planning for. We'll remind you when it's time.
- Good. Checked and fine, so you know it's not a worry.
Sample report for illustration. Your real report lists your vehicle's findings and a written quote for each item.

Warning light that won't go away? We find the cause, including the stuff that isn't obvious yet.

Second opinions
Another shop said it was fixed but it isn't? Bring it here.
An owner who still answers the phone.
Outlaw Automotive is John's shop. He's an ASE Master Technician who got his start with a wrench in his hand, and today he runs a five-bay garage on S Treadaway Blvd with a crew that brings a combined 30 years of experience.
Customers are often surprised when the owner himself picks up. That's on purpose. John takes the extra time to make sure a repair is done right, and he stands behind his quote. We fix daily drivers, work trucks, ACU students' cars and long-term projects, and we keep prices fair.
We're proud to be part of Abilene, from the shop floor to sponsoring the studio at Rock 108.
