Driven by craft.
Ray Compton started Reclaimed Auto Care at 17 years old right here in Elmore County, Alabama. Not as a summer job — as a real business, built from scratch, driven by faith and a genuine passion for doing excellent work on people's vehicles.
The name "Reclaimed" means something. There's a before and after to restoration — a vehicle that looked worn, neglected, or just tired, brought back to something it can be proud of. Ray believes people deserve that same care, and that running a business is one of the most meaningful ways to serve your community when you do it right.
At 17, Ray brings the same seriousness to every job that most people twice his age are still working toward — no shortcuts, no half-finished work, no leaving before the customer is happy. It is what it is: someone who cares, showing up and doing the work.
