Growing up on a farm 100km from town, Riley Granshaw learned to build, fix, and figure things out the hard way. One day, he decided to put those skills to use—and four years later, what began as a backyard project in his parents’ shed has grown into RG Customs NQ—a one-man customs garage known for its personal touch and elite craftsmanship.
Now located in Ayr, RG Customs NQ has become a local favourite for people seeking custom work on their vehicles. Specialising in 4x4 accessory fitment and customisation, the business offers anything from suspension and GVM upgrades to snorkels, bullbars and side rails.
It’s this wide range of expertise, coupled with his careful, customer-centric approach that has made Granshaw and RG Customs NQ so successful.
“A big thing that I think of is, ‘what if that was my car in someone else’s workshop?’” says Granshaw.
“I really pride myself on my workmanship and the quality of work that people get. Being a one-man band, I really get to focus on what the customer wants and what the customer needs—people really get that one-on-one feel.”
This, along with building a positive reputation, is among Granshaw’s top priorities.
“One of the main things I try to focus on is having a good relationship with people,” he says. “It’s all about building a reputation, and I’m fortunate enough to be successful enough to where I’m getting people coming in from Townsville, Ingham, and even as far as Harvey Bay.”
With a loyal following and a growing reputation, Granshaw is proving that skill, care, and a personal touch never go out of style. As demand continues to roll in from across the region, RG Customs NQ is showing no signs of slowing down.
