What kind of shop are you looking for? Personally, I wasn't very happy with service I got at Alien Scooters. On the other hand, Mike at Easy Street Recumbents built a wheel for me around a Crystalyte motor--still true after more than 3000 miles. 
Not sure if he still sells Crystalyes or not, but I think he might be an EbikeKit dealer now too. Mike runs a very high-end shop, imho. I'd bet he could help you customize anything you want. There are lots of other great bike shops in Austin, too (Ozone, Clown Dog, Bike Farm, etc.)--I guess it really depends what kind of customization you want.

well, not all of those shops deal with electric motors--they're just good bike shops. You didn't say what you meant by "customization"--did you just mean adding a motor? if so, Easy Street Recumbents is the only good place I know of first-hand in Austin. You might want to check with RL Martin bikes too. Their stuff has been discussed a bit on this list before. I've never been to their shop, but when I've spoken to them on the phone they've been very nice (in strong contrast to a couple of conversations I had with a woman at Alien Scooters...).
