About
RPG (Red’s Performance Garage)
RPG was established by Ashley Kennedy (aka “Red”) in 2013. Ashley attended SCT Master Class school for tuning, and had years of Ford Performance knowledge and expertise.
I came to find RPG first as a customer in 2016. It was then I met Ashley, one of the kindest and most welcoming people you could ever know. Quickly the customer relationship turned into a friendship where I spent almost every day helping at the shop, which is something I will forever be grateful for and cherish. It was in 2020 when he tragically passed away leaving myself and Justin Gadell in a complete fog. We did not know what was going to happen to the shop that we called a second home. We strived to maintain Ashley’s legacy and his vision of the shop in the following years, and we feel we have done right by him to this point.
We, like every establishment, have had our trials and tribulations. Above all, we feel like we have weathered them well as we continue to pursue his and our shared dream. After Ashley’s passing, Elijah White came in and brought a new set of eyes and ideas to the table. I am incredibly thankful for him for progressing the social media side of the business, and for his technical abilities making an idea a reality with the shop’s first in- house designed and marketed product, the flex fuel kit.
I have been an automotive enthusiast since I was a child. My dream to work on fast cars and be in the automotive aftermarket industry has always been a passion. Many of you know me and have seen me, and some of you have only spoken with me on the phone. I was in the Air Force for 12 years- 5 of which I maintained and worked on KC-135 Refuelers, the rest I was flight crew as a boom operator. With years of experience on aircrafts and late model Fords, my goal is to bring the best quality and attention to detail for all of our amazing clients. Thank you to everyone for your continuous support and for taking part in making Ashley‘s dream a reality.
With Gratitude,
Logan Cross
