Summary

The Customizing of cars is a growing industry, where the age of road going vehicles increases every year. In 1995, the average age of a vehicle on the was 12 years, and by 2005, this had increased to 15 years. People are keeping their vehicles longer, due to the high prices of new or replacement cars. Thus, the after-market in car customizing was born, and will continue to experience growth.

Central to the theme of creating a custom car was the notion that the customer should choose everything at the same location, a true "One stop shop". The Car, therefore, could be fitted with a state of te art sound system, be resprayed, have mag wheels fitted, and even have the seats re-upholstered all in the same workshop.

It should be noted that all electronic equipment carries a manufacturer's guarantee, and all security systems are VESA approved. LowRider  Customs will never deal in second rate equipment and only the best products are installed, to give total peace of mind to the customer.

The backbone of the company remains its sound and security expertise, which makes up over 50% of work carried out. This is indicative of the reputation and product knowledge of the management, as they will not compromise when it comes to quality.
