Owners Rafiek and Abu Ibrahim have been in the custom-auto game for more than 10 years, both beginning in the car-customization realm and eventually branching out to Interior and Exterior Accessories upgrades. In 2008 Rafiek and Abu decided to leave their prior shops and embark on a new journey, starting their own business and doing things the way they wanted: the right way. "We figured we've been doing this forever and have known each other forever. "We asked ourselves, 'Why aren't we doing a shop on our own where we can do it exactly how we want it?'"

KDG Car Customs was born, scoring jobs via customer referrals, and dubbed themselves, jozi best-kept secret.

The Ibrahim brothers recognized a void in the custom-car industry that started with the customer experience. "The industry is changing - all these companies are online, and you can buy this stuff anywhere. "So we wanted to create a situation where we can make people feel like their buck is being spent the right way." "You can come in here, sit down and have proper attention paid to you. We want you to feel special, no matter what amount you are spending.
