Driveshaft Specialist Inc. has been manufacturing driveshafts for over 50 years. We were one of the first Driveshaft Specialist shops in South Texas. All we do, everyday, is Driveshaft Service. Nothing else. We build the finest driveshafts available, one at a time with expert care and workmanship.
Customer Service is not taken for granted, it is the Most Important job we do. We take care of our customers. Customer Satisfaction, Quality of Product and Construction are the ONLY considerations when we build driveshafts.
We do not have any employees in our shop. Employees come in, punch a clock, do what they are told and collect a paycheck. I do not ever want any employees in our shop. I believe in the term "Associate". An Associate is someone who is involved with the business operations, they care about the quality of the product manufactured and are PROUD to say, "I Built this Driveshaft".
Our MISSION GOAL is to provide the best possible product at a fair and reasonable price. It is possible that we can build Driveshafts for less, but only if we purchase poor quality offshore products. We will not do that. We buy only Top Quality products. We buy at Warehouse Distributor Net pricing so this allows us to offer Quality Products at a Fair and Competitive price. You will find a variance of pricing with our competitors, but our goal is not to be the cheapest price you can find… cheap does not mean quality. All of our pricing is calculated to give us a fair margin of return, a reasonable labor rate and cover the cost of doing business. Please give us the opportunity to service your needs.
I promise you will be pleased with our products.
Sincerely,
Brent Crownover
President
A Bit about the Individuals at our shop.
Brent and Cindy. Married over 30 years and joint owners of the business. Brent has been in the Auto Industry all of his working life including a 20 year career as a Field Sales Representative for Moog Steering/Suspension and Wagner Brake Products.
Brent has always had some sort of Hot Rod or Muscle car. Currently he drives a 2006 Z51 Corvette with a 630HP LS2 stroker motor that was built and installed in our shop. Brent is an Instructor at Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas which every opportunity and drives a 2.9 mile 15 turn Road Race course. The Vette pulls 165 mph down the main straightaway which is intense, but that first turn comes up really quick. Photos are from Texas World Speedway Road Course.

Jeff Dusek has been with our organization for over 13 years. He has always worked in the Auto Service Industry and has a well-rounded automotive background from bumper to bumper. When Jeff started with the company he seemed like a natural, no one else has ever stepped in and taken off like Jeff. He is an excellent Driveshaft Fabricator and the best Driveshaft Parts man in the business. Period.
Jeff also has Hot Rods in his blood. He currently drives a Chopped 51 Chevy with Blown 540 Big Block power that gets a lot of attention at our shop. Jeff has had the car since he was 14 year old. Jeff did all the body work and still in process. He also owns several other works in progress.

We are going through a transitional stage at this time with our business name. We are evolving towards DRIVESHAFT SPECIALIST INC. of Texas as our primary name. So if you see Thrash Driveshaft Inc. and Driveshaft Specialist Inc. do not be alarmed. We are one and the same. Thrash Driveshaft is well known in the San Antonio area. We have had the same Associates from the time of purchase. We feel that Driveshaft Specialist Inc. more accurately reflects our business operations.
