Gas Monkey Garage

Wow. Love the show. Was just watching a episode of the show and it showed Richard buying 3 cars in a town that I lived in for a number of years. Greenville Ohio Showed them driving around the circle that is downtown. Keep up the beautiful builds I have built diff rides in my younger yrs now going on 65. My last build was a bike 6 yrs ago from a basket case. A 2001 Suzuki Intruder 1500. Painted it black and burnt pumpkin orange because my mother's b'day was Halloween Bike before and after

It was nice to go and see it since I was in the area. It's a little smaller than I imagined after seeing it on tv. The lady in the merchandise store was awesome and we did see Richard in the parking lot.

Love it there better then on TV Did not see richard rawlings but there is always a next time to see him

Very cool to see in real life if you saw it on tv. The merch shop is nice to see and the staff is very nice!

Hubby and I stopped by while on a camping trip in Dallas-Fort Worth area. Walked in and was greeted by the customer service rep who was extremely nice when out of her way to help me talk to us and gave us a little background about the company. Bought a couple of things from there and walked around and it was everything my husband thought it would be. We were really happy that we went as we were able to see if it was everything he thought it would be, and it really was we enjoyed the experience and would go back again if we were in the Dallas area. We hate that Richard was on vacation he really did want to meet him and get an autograph but overall the experience was a five star

tours on friday are free and definitely a nice way to spend your afternoon. looking at all the cool vehicles

Alright, listen up, gearheads and casual cruisers! Even though we totally fumbled the ball and missed the tour slot (my bad, Richard!), Gas Monkey Garage still delivered a five star experience that's shinier than a freshly polished hot rod. From the moment we stepped into the merch shop, it was like a treasure trove of automotive awesome! We're talking wicked hot rods, vintage motorcycles, and seriously, the coolest chair ever made entirely out of Craftsman wrenches. My jaw basically hit the floor. And the merch? Forget about it! I snagged some sweet gear, including a sign that was personally signed by the big guy himself, Richard Rawlings! How cool is that?! The store itself was amazingly well kept, sparkling clean, and organized like a dream. And the staff? A++ all the way! Every single person we talked to was super friendly, genuinely helpful, and clearly loved what they do. Seriously, if you're ever in the area, you absolutely HAVE to check out Gas Monkey Garage. We were definitely not disappointed, even without the tour. Just a pro tip: learn from my mistakes and try to get there early because the tours are only on Monday and Friday from 10 AM to 12 PM. You won't regret it!

Me, my wife and son visited Gas Monkey while we in Dallas looking at cars. We have been big time fans since Fast and Loud first came out on discovery. Being in the same industry but in the UK I just wanted to thank Richard for what he has done for the whole car community, keeping the torch lit for petrol heads. The tours are FREE OF CHARGE giving up his staffs time and today his own time to meet and great people. So everyone go and get some merchandise bought! We then stopped by his new restaurant ‘Gas Monkey Icehouse’ at which the food was brilliant! Again keeping the car community lit and younger generations coming in. Get yourself down there….

Such a great time ! Free tour, maybe 20 minutes long . Great cars to see , very informative! We spent $200 on merchandise, yikes ! Well worth it , something fun to do in Arlington TX. Miss the good ol day with watching episodes on TV, now they have 1 day week apparently that you can follow on you tube .

Got a pretty much vip tour was a great experience!! Everybody there was super nice and inviting. Fun atmosphere great people. Glad I decided to visit. Thank you!!!!

I'm not entirely certain why there are so many negative reviews and complaints, but after years of watching Fast 'N Loud, Misfits Garage, et al,. But I believe it comes down to people's expectations, and hopefully this information is helpful. I finally had the chance to visit GMG and its Merch Shop while my wife and I were home shopping in Dallas and Austin. Knowing that the garage itself is still an active filming location/studio, I set my expectations using the Interwebs to visit their website. Those expectations were exceeded! Immediately upon entering the Merch Shop, a staff member greeted us. People unfamiliar with Texas (I used to live in Dallas) need to know that it is a very different culture. Local folks are all very nice, polite, and they live a more laid-back, healthier pace. No business or person are perfect, so not trying to take away others' feelings if they were treated rudely, but I got the impression that to continue being successful, management runs a tight ship. We were checking out some of the gorgeous GMG-built cars inside and in the lot, and a staff member came over to let us know about a raffle (no cost to enter, but took the time to explain that purchases translate to points, and therefore additional entries). After telling him I was interested, he said he'd meet us at the front counter to register us, then asked if we needed help finding anything. He did exactly that, and the store was fairly packed with other customers, so we felt some "white glove, red carpet" treatment. Be aware that the store has a limited amount of space, however, they have at least 75% of the items on the shelf from their online store (which was awesome). We went on a Saturday, so I did not expect to see/meet Mr. Rawlings or his Monkeys. But they do have two large TVs with a feed to the garage. Since the garage was closed, they were playing clips from recent YouTube shows. Other reviewers who complained about no autographs, tours, what have you, should have called ahead or as I did, check out the Interwebs for details. Tours aren't offered and shouldn't be expected, and the GMG website accurately represents what is and is *not* open to the public. Also because of its TV fame, you can't just walk in and demand to have your car built. I asked the store manager about commissioned builds out of curiosity, and he gave me a direct phone number and email address to inquire. He politely said there was a waitlist, which again, is not a surprise. As a comparison, I visited a different DFW-area custom car shop, and they have a 3-year backlog/waitlist for commissioned builds. That shop is only known to locals and others plugged into the industry, they don't have a TV show or any national ads. I enjoyed the visit and talking with the Merch Store staff, and they deserve 5/5 stars for running a clean store with very helpful, polite staff. As a personal rule, I generally do not post reviews, but after seeing so many negative comments, I was compelled to set the record straight. Anyone planning to travel somewhere to visit a specific place of interest should at least make a phone call or check the Interwebs. Yes, another reviewer pointed out that Kount's Kustoms in LV offers tours, but that is clearly spelled out on their site (or if you call them), but you have to make reservations and pay for that. Just because both shops had/have a TV show, an "apples to apples" comparison that does not make! Here's my final takeaway: If you are a GMG fan like me, and you are going to be in the DFW Metroplex, it's worth the visit just to grab some Merch and epic photos. Some visitors who went during the week (including a friend and colleague of mine) have been fortunate to meet Mr. Rawlings and/or other folks in the garage. However, and I realize I'm repeating myself (that's intentional), I implore folks to set appropriate expectations. If you are in Dallas and looking for a "full experience" tour, then I highly recommend the JFK Museum in the Historic West End District. That site has been developed specifically for access to the public. GMG is still filming and posting to YouTube (check it out if you haven't seen it!), so be aware that for obvious reasons, the garage itself isn't open for tours. One helpful suggestion about seeing the garage and their high-end collection: If you are a serious buyer, reach out to Tony and his sales team through GMG's website, and they might consider a limited tour, if you're serious about buying one of their listed vehicles. No one buys a $50,000+ vehicle sight unseen. I hope this Bible-length review is helpful to at least one person, if not more. Stopping by while in town was definitely worth it, and I will do so again next time I'm in DFW!

Went on Sunday, so it was dead. Prices are really high. Not s fun as it used to be. Will not return unless special event is happening.

Trash never going to order anything from them again asked 2 times to cancel order they refused and took 8 days to send order

This is the store for the gas monkey garage . It has a lot of shirts hats and stickers. It has a area to watch the outside of the garage. There is a TV to see what is going on in the garage. It's a nice store and the employee was helpful and friendly.

Don't order anything from Gas Monkey if you want your product delivered within a month. I entered a contest to win cars, cash, etc. I bought a 35.00 tee shirt, and spent 35.00 for additional entries. I've emailed their customer service department 3 times, and never got a response. I ordered the product April 20th. today is May 20th and I got a text stating my order will ship and arrive as soon as I know it. They are bush league at best. Their Yelp reviews confirm. 3.5 out of 5

I had a really good experience visiting the site. The staff at the merch shop was awesome, she really knew her products and even gave me some recommendations for what to do in the area. Very cool. 25% military discount. That was huge. Most places do a max of 10% but I guess they really wanted to be good to troops. Would definitely recommend stopping by. Not a super long experience though. There was no restaurant open or anything like that when I was there. They have about 8 cars/trucks etc visible for the public to be able to see. Cool little stop. Unfortunately I went right as everyone was gone for the mecum auto auctions in Scottsdale. No worries still work it.

I've never been here before. However, I've seen their television show. It looks like an awesome place to get a classic car, road ready.

This would have been the high point of our trip. My husband was so excited as he is a huge fan of the show. He has even been featured on the show as a look alike. We arrived on our way through to Alabama which happened to be on Memorial Day. They were closed of course. Sadly we took a few photos and drove away without a t- shirt or any swag. Richard we will see you on the flip flop.

Good selection of clothing. They are a bit pricey. One adult shirt and adult hat, two kids shirts and a child's hat was $150.

July 2019 I contact the Gas Monkey Garage prior to going to Texas. I let them know it was my boyfriend's birthday and that Gas Monkey Garage and another car show ( i left them unnamed in my email; however, it was Iron Resurrection) and I was wondering if there was an opportunity to maybe do a quick tour or just take a photo with the cast. I was told, "swing by, there's always someone and Richard usually will stop and take a quick photo with the visitors". I was excited to take him to Gas Monkey Garage. We watched the show religiously. My boyfriend grew up around cars as his step father owned a used car show and raised him around cars until he died a few years ago. His step father even gave him a 1968 Chevelle. Cars are a huge part of his life. Therefore, they were a huge part of my gift to him this year. We arrived to the Gas Monkey Garage store. We looked around, purchased a few items. Talked to the cashier, who just happened to be related to the owner of Stroker's. We talked with her for quite a while telling her about our visit to Stroker's and how its so hard to find Victory Motorcycle stuff. We asked about getting photos or a quick tour and she said, for us to wait out in the parking lot and Richard would probably stop and take photos with us. He did not. He did peel out in the green car that was in a movie he worked on. But that was it. I understand they are busy; however, there were about 6 of us outside. It would have been 5 mins of his time to take a few photos and thank his fans for stopping by. It was the same day as the first show of the new season in July 2019. We did not watch and have not watched a gas monkey garage show since. I was embarrassed that I made this part of his birthday gift. We literally took maybe 15 mins of time from the cast at Iron Resurrection and that was only because they offered to give us a quick tour for his bday. Needless to say, we are still fans of Iron Resurrection and no longer watch Gas Monkey Garage. It was discouraging that he didn't even take 5 mins out of his day after getting out of truck from lunch. He just walked into the shop like no one was there. I get they may have been busy because they were filming the commercial for the new episode but there is more to being on tv. There are the people that make the show successful and those are the fans. I was disappointed that I felt misled and that I in turn misled my boyfriend. The only reason why I gave 2 stars is because the staff in the store were awesome.

Wasn't what I anticipated it would be. Not much too see other than merchandise. Can't tour shops or vehicles.

Where is my merchandise order? It has been going on a month and there has been no update on when it will ship. Take my money and then I hear nothing. To say there was a two week delay because of the give-away points, well, it has been over two weeks and there is no update. One might view this as complete misleading advertising. I will not be shopping at your online store again. The reputation of the the owner, Richard Rawlings, and his company is certainly less than it was from this unhappy customer. MAKE THIS RIGHT!!

Amazing place to go to! Just be respectful as is still a business but rad people and decorating!

Richard Rawlings is one of the kindest man I have ever met we are at his shop one day before he opened my daughter and I who was 14 walking around he pulled up and I told her to stay out of the way he called her over there had a 10-minute conversation with her introduce his dog to her absolutely made her world which made my world he can't be any more of a gentleman and a nice person

Went to the merchandise store and Avery was super welcoming and charming. The store is everything my hubby wanted and then some!

If i could give a negative stars, i would. Myfamily and I stopped by Ass-Monkey Garage, bought a baby sleep item. I asked the sales girl at the counter that I have a 1951 Ford Custom Hot-Rod that I want to install Vintage Air and who should I talk to. The words that came out of her mouth floored us. She said " THEY DON'T WORK ON CUSTOMER CARS, THAT THEY ONLY SHOOT THE SHOW AND THAT IT IS JUST A SHOW"!!!! What the HELL? Really? Why don't they just say that? Why isn't there a disclaimer stating that it is just a show? What a crock.....

Placed my order for a t shirt and hoodie over 6 weeks ago on July 29th and have gotten nothing but empty promises that they was going to ship!! I've emailed them twice today to cancel my order and refund my money and have gotten no reply!! To say I will never do business with Gas Monkey Garage again is an understatement and I strongly recommend that others avoid it as well!! Do the right thing Richard Rawlings!!!

The staff was helpful in the merch store. We were very fortunate that Richard happened to stop in the store and take time out of his busy day to take a picture with our family. Thank you Richard!!

Great spot to stop by when in the area if you follow the show a lot of merch and you always have a chance at seeing the stars of the show

I'm excited we were able to go and visit the shop! We are fans of the show and talked about doing this next time we go to Dallas. I was very surprised at how small the place was to be honest. It looks so much bigger on TV heh. A little upset wwe didn't get to see or meet Richard but all is good. Merch is a bit pricey.

I bought a t-shirt on 1/12/22 and here we are over a month later and my order still shows unfulfilled.. I can't cancel the order due to ordering during a sweepstakes, which is fine.. but really, over a month to ship out a t-shirt.. ridiculous.

I can't believe that Richard Rawlings came out and chill with his fans. That's pretty cool of him to go above and beyond, I strongly recommend !

I seen the show I seen him by this Porsche 1969 Porsche 55,000 cash I never seen him call the DMV or check the numbers to see if the paperwork is legit now I see the car is for sale on his website we have personally been robbed by some other people but this guy makes it look too easy I tried to get a hold of his company virtually impossible his Yelp is very very terrible I think it's all bull the car business is not the way he's making it look like you should really check with the local DMV or somebody is going to be in trouble we lost $30,000 buying a car with a title and it wasn't even a real car the car had a good pin slip but they did a VIN switch on it and I didn't even know and I checked with the DMV sheriff's department I even ran a hit on it with the DMV and everything was good on the title but the car was not the real serial numbers on it so this guy's making it look like it's so easy and he's supposed to have 20 years experience buying and selling cars be careful people I was trying to call this guy Richard and you can only leave them an email if you're buying and selling interesting enough the same Porsche that he bought for $55,000 on his website for sale just be careful out there before you buy a car because it might not be kosher and he makes it look so easy

I ordered merch from these guys thinking how much i liked their show in jan. Spend over a hundred bucks that the took right than and i still dont have my stuff. Three shirts. And they dont give a damn.

The gift store has some vehicles from the show. Everyone was extremely nice. I enjoyed seeing where the tab show was filmed

Highly disappointed with gas monkey and their merch store. Placed an order 10 days ago, order still hasnt shipped. Their phone numbers doesn't work, and they won't answer emails.

Stop your crying! This place rocks even if you don't meet the man it's still awesome that you get a chance to be here live in person! Get you some of that bitches!

Great place!! My sister is visiting from Italy and had mentioned coming here to visit! Awesome place! Nice merchandise. Also, Bo and Ari are extremely helpful in helping you find what you need! Will be back with the rest of the family!!

It's really just a stop for high priced merchandise, everything was fenced off, couldn't see any cars, couldn't meet any of the crew as they were busy. We did get to stick our fingers through the fence a pet the poodle that was playing fetch in the parking lot. Other than the merchandise store there wasn't anything to do or see here.

It was fun to see the place the show is filmed. Got to meet Richard himself. The merchandise store is pretty cool, had to get some T-shirt's while we were there.

If you wish to get a picture with the man wait your turn. Get a t shirt and move on down the road.

They have some dope merchandise and the ladies are the best!!! We bought some stuff and had a good time, I recommend these guys

Place an order July 29, 2021 it is September 1 and I keep getting empty promises as to where my two T-shirts are not sure what's going on with these guys I had a problem before they sent it to the wrong address so I called them you can't leave a message what the hell is wrong with your monkeys do you have a taste of you sell stuff do you have a fantastic show why can't you follow through with your merchandise Richard call me

Was not impressed with the experience. I expected at least to see some work going on. I understand not being able to go in garage, but rope it off and let people watch. Stupid that it's just a shopping experience. We drove a long ways for this. :(

So I just happened to be in Dallas and wanted to go see a car that Gas Monkey had listed on EBAY. It was the 1926 F58 Chrysler. I met Tony briefly but was told I could not see the car because they were filming and thus there was no way I could see the vehicle that day. ( I get it I just popped in ) I asked if I could see the car the following day ( permitted I could change my schedule around and I was told to make an appointment for next week. I explained to him I was from Boston and had a short window and I did not want to bid on a car without seeing it. Yet I was brushed off and told to bid for it on ebay again!) I asked for Tony contact information and was told send a message on EBAY.. ie no contact information SO Folks Food For Thought I had the cash to buy the car with me and I was shocked just how little they care about trying to sell me a car. I think they spend more time on promoting a brand and putting their logo on sports drinks and burgers and forgot what they are the a custom car build house. I wanted them to finish the car I was willing to talk price and wait for it to fit into their schedule and I was totally blown off! ( WOW what a way to treat a customer) At the time I really wanted a cool car finished by Gas Monkey and the F58 Chrysler fit the bill. What a let down I thought it would have been awesome to have a Gas Monkey car to bring to the car shows in Boston. I would have been really pump to show off a car done by them. I will still watch the shows because I like the work but wow what a disappointment. Even if I could not get to see the car it sure would have been nice to have been treated with a little bit of respect. -Leo

A nice place to check out the gift shop. You really don't get to see the cars that they are working on. Shop is closed up when you go unless they are filming. Have to say it is fun to watch Fifi run around the yard. The staff in the gift shop are nice. It's nice to check this off the list but not something I would go out of my way to see.

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt! We came on a rainy Sunday, but excited the shop was open so we could get some goods. The nice girl working was helpful. She said the guys were there Monday-Friday always filming so if you go I would try to go during those days to catch a glimpse!

Kinda pricey. Location was a bit shady. They did have a couple cars displayed. No Richard Rawlings Cool gear, just expensive, but hey I guess it's a novelty, what do you expect? GET YOU SOME OF THAT!!!

We flew into Dallas from San Francisco, and the first two stops in Texas were Gas Monkey Bar & Grill and Gas Monkey Garage (my husband is a huge fan of the show!) We were bummed we didn't get to see Richard or Aaron, but the merchandise ladies were so sweet to my daughters. One let my 8-year-old daughter use the shirt folder to fold a few shirts. It totally made my daughter's day! I wish I could have gotten her name to give her a shout out! We didn't even mind paying $30 for a t-shirt.

This place is pretty cool! We happened to get lost and found it per my wacky directions... we saw them inside! They have some merch for sale inside and a nice lady at the checkout counter. I highly recommend going and seeing this place!

We went on Sunday so didn't get to see much. The merchandise store is nice and the girls in it were friendly.

Ok so we own a auto mechanic shop in the small town we live in so my husband watches this and others like it. So when we went to Dallas we decided to stop and check it out. Not what I was expecting, at least Kounts Kustoms has he's car on display and then a gift shop. This shit shack has over priced t-shirts, its kind of a joke. But that's just me. I guess that Richard and Aaron don't want to show the pubic their own or customers builds.

Has anyone actually had there car worked on here? All these reviews about a t-shirt shop and a nice or rude girl behind the counter. I don't give a sh--- about T-shirts. I can buy that crap at Walmart. What type of mechanics are they?

We went down for my birthday weekend. Seeing where the show was filmed was pretty neat. We didn't really expect a whole crazy experience so what we saw was interesting. Merchandise is a bit expensive but so is any novelty merchandise. Overall, go for the experience and the opportunity to say you been there.

I am a fan of cool cars and the show Fast N Loud so while in Dallas I just had to stop by the shop. All I was really hoping for was to get a shirt for my dad for Father's Day. I pulled into the lot and already I could see a few cars I recognized from the show. It's always cool to see something in real life that you have seen on TV. Around the lot there are signs that say filming in progress. Parked in front is the Swag Van. I walked into the front shop and it is just as I expected, a nice swag shop. It has sort of a gear head feel to it, why wouldn't it, we're in a hot rod gargage. Next to the front counter there is a hallway that goes back into the main part of the garage. Only staff has access to go back, rightfully so though. One, because they film everyday and two, if every person that came in was allowed back there they wouldn't get any work done. As I was shopping I kept looking back through the hallway and I caught a glance of Aaron and the film crew. One thing I was hopping to find for my dad was a GMG mechanic shirt. They of course had them so I has happy, I do wish they had the monkey logo on the back though. I ended up getting myself a t-shirt as well as a bunch of stickers and an air freshener. Yes, a GMG air freshener! My family has a couple classic and vintage cars. I haven't put the air freshener in any of them yet but when I do it's gonna look super cool and smell sweet! The woman at the counter was very friendly and helpful. They take credit cards via Square and an iPad mini that sends the receipt by text or email, pretty awesome. If you've ever seen the show you know this garage does AMAZING, top notch work definitely worth 5 stars and after going to the shop I give them 5 stars all around. I own a 1939 Ford Panel Van that I hope to have Gas Monkey Garage fix up for me one day. Until then, I have my shirt, stickers and air freshener.

I'm disappointed. I understand how tv works from being on the Apprentice, but the girl working behind the counter was simply rude. Without hearing a word and without knowing my budget, she rudely said we are booked solid for 3 years. I think it's great that business is that good, and I hope it stays that way. I recall when I had a car built by another big tv guy and now he can't give his stuff away. Same thing with a bike I bought. There are ways to conduct business and ways not to conduct business. My budget for my project was 6 figures. I'm sure that I will be able to find another builder that will be able to accommodate the rebuild. I wish you guys good luck and maybe you need to look at your staff a little harder.

Beware of the scam these people are running. A number of people (including myself) have ordered items from them and never receive the merchandise.. They take payment immediately and then send nothing. If you question it they tell you to check with the Post Office..
