Speeding Springs - Megan Salyards

Hill Country Business Podcast

Speeding Springs will have an open house on July 8th from 10:00 am - 3:00 pm. Come and meet the family. Megan is the CEO of Speeding Springs along with her brother Cole. Their father started one of the largest independently owned collision-body shops in CA. After they sold those shops, her dream was to come back to Texas and open a wedding venue in Dripping Springs. But quickly noticed all the $1M cars around and she got thrown back into the car world. Speeding Springs continues to be a family run business.

Megan moved here 4 years ago, but the venue turned into the ultimate garage. It will be used for events, weddings, and even a dealership… but they are still figuring it out... in the meantime, the rest of her family followed her back to Texas.

Chris Oliveri is the General Manager who will handle all the sales for the dealership side of the business. He talks about his experience and how he met Megan and then got involved with Speeding Springs.

We discuss the 7,000 sq ft shop space and showroom, plus the 7,000 work space that Tommy Remy uses for his clients.....he is a world renowed painter. Some of the cars in the shop space include: a 69 C10 on a Roadster Shop chassis, Dale Earnhardt Jr’s winning Nascar, 69 Camero, etc. And the big showroom houses all of their personal classic cars. Their shop is different from the traditional body shops because they are building cars for the family only. Not for customers, but customers can buy them 'as is'. ….if not, the car will go into the big showroom for all to enjoy.

We also discussed the types of modifications that can be made on cars and some of their unique and very rare cars on the premises like the 32 Ford coupe with a 350 small block; 64 ford Fairlane 427 side oiler thunderbolt clone; 70 GTX 440 resto-mod, numbers matching 69 Z28 Camero; numbers matching boss 302 mustang 1970, etc….. Rare pontaic 1969 GTO judge, convertible just to name a few.

Come join them on July 8th and also see the classic memorabilia that Megan has collected over the past 15 years. They have a big vision and passion to share with the community.
