What Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center does

Jerry Dixon's Automotive & Klassic Kar Center, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service auto repair shop and classic car restoration specialist headquartered at 9206 Circle Dr, Austin, TX 78736. Founded in 1974, the company originally specialized in restoring 'Tri-Five' Chevrolets (1955-1957) and has since expanded into a comprehensive restoration and repair operation capable of servicing vehicles dating back to 1929. The shop employs 5 people, including ASE-certified technicians, and operates Monday through Friday with after-hours drop-off and free local shuttle service. Leadership transitioned from founder Jerry Dixon to his family: Kelly Dixon serves as President and Aaron Dixon as Vice President, supported by Chris Stewart (Performance Consultant/Project Manager), Shannon Puckett (Shop Foreman), and Marc Kendrick (Parts Director).

The service portfolio spans general auto repair and maintenance (brakes, transmission, engine, electrical, alignment, undercar, AC, heating/cooling, tires) and a specialty classic car vertical that includes engine and transmission rebuilding, carburetor work, wiring harness replacement, fuel injection conversion, brake upgrades, and interior restoration. A specialty parts supplier network (ACDelco, Valvoline, Mitchell1, Chevrolet Performance, Summit Racing, Detroit Speed, Blueprint Engines, Vintage Air, Wilwood) supports the restoration work. The business is privately held with no venture capital or institutional investment and no public ticker.

The revenue model is professional services billing on a quote/estimate basis with pay-as-you-go cadence and a 24-month / 24,000-mile warranty on parts and labor. All work is performed at the single Austin physical location, with no online purchasing or third-party distribution. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone, walk-in, email, and online appointment request, with the customer base composed of individual vehicle owners and classic car enthusiasts across the Austin metro and eight surrounding communities (Dripping Springs, Wimberley, San Marcos, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Driftwood, Manchaca). Customer acquisition is driven primarily by word-of-mouth referrals, third-party reviews (Google, Yelp), and a content blog of auto repair tips. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
