At age 13, Ray paid $40 for a powder blue 1953 Ford Coupe and his passion for cars hasn't waned. Originally from Connecticut, Ray started getting his hands dirty as aircraft hydraulics mechanic in the U.S. Air Force then on to working for General Motors and Volkswagen before opening his own shop in Connecticut with his brother. It's been nearly three decades since Ray migrated south to escape the New England winters to share his knowledge and experience with us here in Edgewater as "Ray's Auto Repair and Tire Center".

Master Mechanic Tom Costa brings his years of experience to "Ray's Auto" as a former shop owner from Daytona. Tom's Daytona Shop had realized such popularity from Tom's reputation that he literally had to "slow down" by moving to Las Vegas to run his family's business for his Father. With the Family Business now on even keel and the bright lights of Las Vegas behind him, Tom is now back home in Edgewater running the shop at "Ray's" welcoming old customers and making new friends.
