AutoRide Customs began with a simple passion: a love for cars and a commitment to doing things the right way.

Founder Steve’s journey started in Guyana, where as a child he spent countless hours working on vehicles alongside his uncle. Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for automotive craftsmanship. Although he initially pursued a desk job after high school, he quickly realized his true calling was hands-on work—building, repairing, and restoring vehicles.

In 1990, Steve moved to the United States and took the first step toward turning that passion into a career. He enrolled at MidFlorida Tech and began working at Fountain Auto Mall in Orlando, Florida, where he developed the skills and foundation that would shape his future in the industry.

With over 35 years of experience, Steve founded AutoRide Customs in Ocoee in 2015. From the very beginning, the mission has been clear: deliver high-quality autobody work with honesty, precision, and care.

Through continuous training and a dedication to staying current with modern repair techniques and technology, AutoRide Customs has built a strong reputation for craftsmanship and reliability in the community.

Today, AutoRide Customs is proudly family-owned and operated. Steve works side by side with his children, Ashwin and Ashley, and along with his granddaughter Breanna, who all play key roles in the business.

Ashwin and Ashley each manage one of the shop’s locations, overseeing daily operations, writing estimates, and handling parts to ensure every repair is completed efficiently and to the highest standards. Breanna leads the company’s marketing efforts while also supporting the shop in all areas and gaining hands-on experience as she learns the art of automotive painting.

Together, the family shares a unified vision: to carry forward the values the company was built on while continuing to grow into the future.

 Our Ocoee location is where the AutoRide Customs story started in 2015. It’s more than just our first shop—it’s the foundation of our family business.

The trust we built here in the community made it possible for us to grow and open our second location in Tavares. Even as we expand, Ocoee remains at the center of everything we do, setting the tone for the quality, care, and service we’re known for.

At AutoRide Customs, we believe in more than just fixing cars—we believe in taking care of people.

Every customer can expect:

• Honest assessments and transparent communication 
• High-quality workmanship backed by experience 
• A team that genuinely cares about your vehicle and your safety 
• Service rooted in integrity, respect, and family values
