Ascension Automotive’s Origin

Founded By: David & Elie Alam

The Youngest Auto Restyling Shop Owners In Michigan.

It Was June 2022…

David had just finished his first year of college—and he hated it.

He was chasing a degree that provided him no value and knew he was destined for more.

Elie, entering his junior year of high school, was never a fan of the traditional education system. He always had a deep-rooted love for all things automotive, especially the car care industry.

These two brothers decided to make the jump and start a business after realizing there was more to life than school at their young ages—18 and 16.

That night, they formed their LLC and began drafting ideas on how to actually start and run the business.

Humble Beginnings

Ascension Automotive started in a sub-1,000 SQFT facility in Wixom, Michigan. At first, it was nothing but brick walls, but we knew we would make it work by all means.

We ordered all the equipment we needed and started promoting everywhere in hopes of getting clients ASAP.

After just a few days, we realized very quickly that success does not happen overnight and that running a business is not all fun and games.

On the other hand, we were unbelievably motivated to grow this company to incredible levels.

Long days and nights followed as we learned to operate a fully functional company in a short time frame.

Starting with zero knowledge of business was definitely scary, but we knew we would make our dreams come true.

Our Journey

Ascension Automotive currently resides in Milford, Michigan. Our nearly 5,000-square-foot, world-class facility has allowed us to expand our team, enhance our services, and create a client experience that is truly unmatched.

We obtained this location before the summer of 2024 and have worked harder than ever to improve our skills and introduce new services to reach a larger clientele.

Ascension’s facility ranks among the best in Michigan and serves as our true statement piece, which every client absolutely loves.

Getting this facility was a huge leap compared to our initial location—it was very, very scary at first. But the incredible support from the Michigan community has made this crazy dream a reality.

We are still striving for more every single day, ensuring that you will have the best experience possible.

Just 2 Kids From Michigan

From the outside, you may just see us as small business owners, but in reality, we’re two brothers from Michigan who grew up in the same state as you and share a deep love for the automotive industry, just like so many others from the Motor City.

We’ve spent our entire lives in Farmington Hills, Michigan. From a young age, we were obsessed with cars.

Whether it was movies, video games, or seeing them at the Dream Cruise every year, there was always a deep-rooted passion.

Ascension Automotive was always meant to be more than just a business—it’s an outlet for our love of cars. Our mission is to bring the community of enthusiasts together by taking as many vehicles as possible to a new plane of perfection with our unrivaled skills in this industry.

There are some HUGE plans coming for 2025… Stay tuned!

Thank You.

Since the beginning, we have focused on growing our knowledge, our team, and the company to unimaginable levels. It has been an amazing journey, and we are just getting started. We’ve had the honor of servicing hundreds of clients and scaling to the #1 car care company in the Oakland County area.

The crazy amounts of stress and hardship are finally paying off, but we will never stop aiming to get better. To each and every one of you reading this—whether you’ve supported us in the past or plan to in the future—it truly means the world to us.

Ascension Automotive is becoming more widely recognized every single day—it’s crazy!

Our expertise in the automotive customization field and entrepreneurship has grown exponentially. We provide top-of-the-line services to each and every client who enters our shop and treat them like family.

We are forever grateful for the support from this amazing community and are so excited for the future. There are huge plans in store, and we hope you will become a permanent member of the Ascension Automotive Family.
