Austin's Pro Max

Austin's Pro Max is a family-owned auto repair business with shops in Tacoma, Spanaway and Puyallup, Washington, that also buys and sells classic cars, street rods and muscle cars. Repair is the core business and classic sales come alongside it, so this profile is for buyers who want to know what to expect from a shop-based seller. It is independent and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

The company's site says it opened in 1998 and that the Austin family brings more than 60 years of automotive repair experience. Those are the company's own statements. The pages we read name no individual owners, and the BBB's separate record shows a business start date of August 1996, a registration-type date that we do not use as a founding year. For repairs, the site says walk-ins are served first come, first served.

How the classic car sales work

The website has a Classic Cars for Sale page, but it does not run its own inventory feed. Instead it sends buyers to ClassicCars.com and Autotrader Classics, and tells them to call the Tacoma shop. The site does not describe consignment, trade-in policies or a commission structure, so a seller should ask for terms in writing. Buyers will find it helpful to read our guide to how to buy a classic car, which covers the steps from the first call to the inspection.

What it sells

On October 23, 2026, ClassicCars.com showed six vehicles for Austin's Pro Max in Tacoma. Four of the listings we recorded were a 1956 Chevrolet Nomad Bel Air at $79,950, a customized 1966 Ford Econoline pickup at $37,950, a 1936 Ford Tudor sedan at $32,950 and a 1972 Chevrolet El Camino "SS Tribute" at $34,950. The cars we recorded are all American models. Check the current list before you plan a trip.

Services

The shops do auto repair, and the company says it offers repair financing and accepts Visa and MasterCard. The site mentions repair and restoration work alongside the sales, though it does not describe a restoration program in detail. We did not see shipping or inspection services for cars you buy.

Reputation

The Better Business Bureau lists Austin's Pro Max with no rating (Not Rated) and no accreditation, so there is no BBB score to cite. The site links to Yelp and Google business pages, but we did not retrieve review counts to quote. With a seller whose main trade is repair, pay for an independent pre-purchase inspection of any car you are serious about, verify the title and VIN, and compare asking prices with similar cars, such as classic cars for sale in Washington.

Visiting

The Tacoma shop is at 5602 S Tacoma Way, Tacoma, Washington 98409, and the site lists hours of Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Call (253) 472-1336 to ask about the classic cars before you go. The company's other shops are in Spanaway and Puyallup, but the classic car inquiries are routed to Tacoma.
