About

About Our Company

Although Austin’s Pro Max opened in 1997, the foundation of the company was being built a lot earlier then that. It all starts with our founder, Pat Austin, who spent a lot of time with his father at a number of muffler and radiator stores in the northwest. The time he spent with him sparked an interest in the automotive repair industry, and after a successful career in drag racing he opened up the first Austin’s Pro Max in Tacoma, WA.

Rooted in respect and integrity, Pat wanted to make sure that every person and vehicle that visited his shop experienced these values. He knew that the way to provide an excellent auto care experience was to ensure that the individual received the same amount of care and attention that the vehicle did. This approach allowed the company to flourish, and we eventually opened two other shops in Spanaway and Puyallup, WA, respectively.

Now with 20+ years of experience in Washington under our belt, we’re excited than ever to provide you with the auto care you and your vehicle deserve. Make us Your Hometown Garage !

Meet Pat Austin

From working at his dad’s muffler and radiator shops to becoming a four-time NHRA National Alcohol Funny Car Champion, Pat Austin brings his passion for cars, family mindset, and discipline for precision to Austin’s Pro Max. And although he may have retired from racing, it hasn’t really gone away. Pat’s son, Drew Austin, now pilots the Austin-Dinsmore T-Town Gang A/Fuel Nitro Nostalgia Dragster on the national circuit and has won twice in their first year of competition.
