Rich's Garage is an automotive customization shop based in Conway, Arkansas. This business began as a hobby at first and has now progressed into becoming an official business. The shop is shared with another company, Car Clinic Auto Repair, which specializes in general repairs and just about anything vehicles. Rich's Garage services Conway and the surrounding areas. These two businesses bring the real feeling of mom-and-pop into the vehicle industry in central Arkansas.

 

Rich's Garage is named after the founder of the company, Richard Carrasco. He's mostly known through the nickname "Rich", hence the name of the company. Richard grew up around vehicles from a very young age. He would go everywhere with his father, who was a mechanic. Richard would play a huge part in the establishment of Car Clinic around 11 years ago. In the early years of Car Clinic, Richard would help a lot with customers and even with some of the manual work. Right around the age he'd turn old enough to drive, he would own his first truck, a 2011 Toyota Tacoma. While he couldn't afford to do any customizations to it, that's when his love for lift, wheels, and tires started to sprout. Between the ages of 16 and 18, he'd come to own 3 more trucks. He owned a 2018 Denali that he and his father lifted 6 inches. His next project would be a 2013 Silverado on a 9-inch lift. His real love for F-150s started with a black 2010 F-150 Platinum. There was nothing he loved more than that truck. Just like every other vehicle he touched, though, he ended up getting rid of it. The next truck he ended up owning was one of his first, and to this day, one of the best-looking trucks he got to build all by himself. He did all types of research on his model truck, 2016 F150 Lariat, to find what his perfect setup would be. After some months of anticipation, he finally got to put together this beautiful truck. He went with a 6-inch Rough Country lift, 37-inch Nitto Mud Grapplers, and some rocklights. That was when his growing interest in vehicle customization turned into a burning passion.

​

After a heartbreaking end to Richard's first build, he would then continue to own 2 more F150s. These 2 F150s weren't just regular F150s; they would be iconic to the truck scene in Arkansas. After a while, he decided to take his knowledge of customization and provide it to the public. After about a year of experimenting, a lot of learning, and sacrifice, Rich's Garage was finally established in the fall of 2025. While we can't provide our customers the biggest or nicest-looking shop in town, we can provide honesty, quality, and fairness.  The point of establishing Rich's Garage was never to make the most money possible. The motivation for establishing this business was to be able to help people build their dream trucks while not having to be overcharged and still receive the quality of a high-ranking, well-known shop. Not everyone has the privilege to grow up around vehicles and have the space/tools to do their own work, and that's okay! Rich's Garage is here to help everyone bring their visions to life without having to pay an arm and a leg for it.
