Default GearHeads in Arlington,Texas is the PLACE for Mustangs!

Took my 1995 GTS in to have some work done.
Was absolutely awed by the professionalism, and work quality.
Not to mention the price!!!!!
Travis Franklin owner operator of Gear Heads in Arlington,Texas is the best!
He is a true Stanger, with his Super Renegade 10.5 drag car (mustang)
And when I arrive at his shop on South Cooper street (157) and Sturgeon Ct there he was in the bay on the dyno tuning a 2007 Shelby GT500.
Watching a GT500 make a 514HP pass on the dyno was worth the trip alone!
AWESOME!!!
The shop is clean and well stocked.
His employees and techs are clean cut well knowledged guys!
He has a great in stock assortment of aftermarket GO-Faster products.
This shop is destined to be teh "place" for Mustangs!
Chris (sorry didnt remember his last name) treats every customer like gold!
It doesnt matter if you drive a POS or a Shelby, you get respect and honest answers.
Most "Speed" shops dont even give a second look much less an answer unless cash is falling out of your pockets!
I am a soldier on leave from Iraq, and have waited to do the work and get the work done while I am home so my wife doesnt take the car in and get the run-around..
bad choice!
I would not have a problem sending my kids and wife to this shop!
I know this sounds weird, I didnt think any shops like this survived the 80's!
This shop is like what I remember my dad taking me to when I was a kid when he was getting his Fairlane 500 tweaked!
If you are in Texas for drag weekend, or if you live here... HTTP://www.gearheadsperformance.com
is the place.
And yeah I saw one sixties model Camaro on the lift so they work on Chevy's too!
Check them out and let them know that SGT Rob sent ya.
This is one happy vet, that will continue to frequent this pro shop as long as they will have me!

I'm sure someone will chime in with a horror story. it usually happens after someone writes up a good review on a shop. You hear it all the time on the area forums here in H Town. Glad you had a good experience...

You are right, and more than likely a guy or gal that likes a "rival" shop...LOL

I drove from Norman OK at 4 AM to get to Arlington by 8AM for a tune at gearheads. Travis did exactly what I would have hoped and that was treat my car like his own. The car drives like stock and i got 450 HP to the wheel which was my goal. He took into account the crap 91 Octane gas here in OK and gave me a good tune. As good as Travis is the shop stays afloat with the front counter help. I believe the guys name is Matt and he basically keeps everything up front moving along while the shop guys get the work done. Good experience
