Custom car shops have been my second home since 2004. Starting out as a green-eyed auto-enthusiast that had a knack for specialty paints, I\u2019ve since plied my trade as a mechanic, fabricator, technician, and finally, an automotive engineer. It\u2019s been far from easy, but the journey has been rewarding. I have worked in more than a few auto customization shops, with dreams of starting my own empire soon. In the meantime, that dream is confined to my home garage, where I work on some side jobs for friends. <\/p>\n
For more than a decade, I\u2019ve handled everything from metal fabrication, custom bodywork, painting, to auto repair and maintenance. As an ASE-certified mechanic, I\u2019ve worked with many models from European, American, and Asian manufacturers. <\/p>\n
I have one policy: to treat every car that rolls into the garage like it\u2019s mine. Working in the automotive industry means getting exposed to some dishonesty here and there. Some operations will deprioritize your service if you\u2019re not spending the big bucks, while some are not totally transparent about how your money is being spent. <\/p>\n
I created Culp\u2019s Customs to ensure that everyone has enough information when it comes to automobile performance, repair, and maintenance. Whether it\u2019s car customization, tuning, or anything automotive-related, you deserve the right answers and expertise. You will find answers in this blog. When I\u2019m not at the shop, then I\u2019m at home working or writing the next article. I manage to get some free time in-between, so you can reach out to me here, and I\u2019ll try to respond as soon as I can. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
