Why I Decided to Start Come to You Customs

Cars have been a cornerstone of my life for as long as I can remember. From Hot Wheels to slot car racers, as a little boy, I was hooked on cars. It wasn’t just the vibrant colors, the intricate details, or the thrill of racing them across the living room floor; it was the connection cars represented—between me, my family, and a broader love of everything automotive. That passion has grown and evolved over the years, culminating in the creation of Come to You Customs—a business born out of a lifetime of dedication to cars, community, and craftsmanship.

This is the story of why I decided to start www.cometoyoucarcustoms.com.

A Legacy of Car Culture

My journey into the world of cars started with my family. My dad and grandpa were my first automotive mentors, each with a deep appreciation for classic cars and the stories they tell. We often went to car shows and worked on each other’s cars. When my first car needed new brakes, everyone pitched in to fix them. My dad introduced me to automotive video games, and to this day I can remember in vivid detail seeing the very first “Need for Speed” game.

Those memories planted the seed of inspiration that grew into a lifelong passion. These days it’s SIM Racing, automotive YouTube, and fixing my kids’ cars when possible – just as my dad and grandpa did for me.

From Hot Wheels to Real Wheels

As I grew older, my love for cars expanded beyond collecting die-cast models. By the time I was old enough to drive, I was already dreaming about customizing my own car. My first vehicle wasn’t flashy—a well-loved sedan with more miles than I’d have liked—but it was a blank canvas.

I didn’t have the means to bring my complete visions to life, but starting small, and making minor changes helped me feel like the car really became mine. Pretty much every car I’ve owned since has been treated with that same ambition.

The Spark Behind Come to You Customs

Over time, I realized there was a gap in the market. Many car enthusiasts like me had grand ideas for their vehicles but lacked the tools, expertise, or time to bring them to life. Even worse, some were intimidated by the idea of walking into a high-end custom shop or felt excluded from the community because they didn’t know where to start.

That’s when the idea for Come to You Customs began to take shape. I wanted to create a service that was not only professional but also approachable—something that brought the joy of car customization to people’s doorsteps. Instead of requiring customers to bring their cars to a shop, I’d bring the shop to them. Whether it was a minor upgrade, a major transformation, or even just advice on where to start, my goal was to make customization accessible to everyone.

Bringing Car Culture to Life

At Come to You Customs, we believe cars should be an extension of their owners. Your vehicle should tell your story, whether that means sleek, modern lines or a retro vibe. We’re here to help bring those visions to life, working closely with each client to create something truly unique.

From cosmetic upgrades like vinyl wraps, paint corrections, and custom decals to performance enhancements like suspension tuning, and exhaust upgrades, we want to help you create something that is distinctly you.

Building a Community, Not Just a Business

Come to You Customs isn’t just about modifying cars—it’s about fostering a community. For me, cars have always been about connection: between generations, between friends, and between strangers who share a common passion. That’s why www.cometoyoucarcustoms.com isn’t just a site to showcase our services; it’s a hub for car enthusiasts to gather, learn, and share.

Through blog posts, tutorials, and event announcements, I aim to create a space where everyone—from seasoned gearheads to curious newcomers—can feel welcome. I want to celebrate the diversity of car culture and show that there’s no “right” way to love cars. Whether you’re restoring a classic muscle car, building a tuner, or simply adding a personal touch to your daily driver, your story matters.

The Road Ahead

Starting Come to You Customs has been a dream come true, but it’s just the beginning. I have big plans for the future, from expanding our range of services to hosting local meetups and workshops. My ultimate goal is to inspire others to embrace their love of cars, no matter where they’re starting from.

Through this journey, I’ve learned that cars are more than just a mode of transportation. They’re a canvas for creativity, a bridge between generations, and a source of endless inspiration. With Come to You Customs, I hope to bring that joy to as many people as possible.

So, if you’re ready to take your car to the next level or simply curious about what’s possible, I invite you to explore www.cometoyoucarcustoms.com. Let’s create something amazing together, one car at a time. After all, the road ahead is always more exciting when we’re traveling it together.


There you have it. That’s why I decided to start Come to You Customs: to honor the legacy of car culture, to celebrate individuality, and to bring the love of cars to life in a way that’s accessible and fun for everyone. Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to many more miles—and memories—ahead.
