About Elite
Colin Richard opened Elite Custom Automotive in January 2025, but he's been working in this same Lockport bay for over a decade. His sister business, CTR Pro Coat, has been Lafourche Parish's ceramic coating specialist for more than ten years.
Elite is the expansion: lift kits, engine rebuilds, transmission swap service, custom wheels, and full-service auto repair — built on top of a decade of detail and finishing work. Every job comes with the same promise: no pressure, just honest work.
