Built by Lopez
Deep roots in Compton, 30+ years of craftsmanship, and a commitment to doing things right the first time.
Our Story
Customs By Lopez isn't just another shop—it's a Compton, California institution. Founded and owned by Ricardo Lopez, our shop was built on the values of hard work, honesty, and an uncompromising dedication to automotive craftsmanship.
Growing up in the heart of Southern California's rich car culture, Ricardo developed an eye for detail early on. From classic lowriders to modern sports cars, he learned that a true custom job requires more than just good paint—it requires a flawless foundation.
Today, Customs By Lopez serves Compton, CA and the surrounding communities with that same passion. Whether we're repairing a family vehicle after a collision or laying down a custom candy paint job on a classic Impala, every car that leaves our bay carries the Lopez name and reputation.
