Backstory:
Vishal Mathur is a 39-year-old with a wife and two children ages 7 and 3. He and his family live in Somerset Park right here in Lake Nona.
He begins his story by explaining how he got into automotive. When he was young, he did not know much about cars. “ I just know that I liked looking at the pictures in a magazine store when I worked at a magazine store.” When he became of driving age, he decided to purchase a Civic. He took it to a local shop for them to do some work on it. However, he was unsatisfied with the work they did. When he contacted them to fix his car to his liking, they failed to provide exceptional customer service.
The experience urged him to create a business that not only would provide better customer service, but would also provide a variety of car parts to customers. He used his parents’ business license and a $700 loan that he borrowed from them to start ordering his own parts from California. He went to car meets and would sell the parts out of the back of his car. Eventually, his service became very popular, and people started asking him to turn it into a business. Two of his friends helped him out with the start-up of the business in 1999, right before he began school at the University of Central Florida. He eventually rented space behind his parents’ business, where he set up shop. His company grew and grew over the past 19 years. Today, it is known as Speedzone Performance LLC located in Kissimmee.
In regards to his ride, Mathurs says he’s always been into the General Motors stuff before he picked up the Cadillac. He snatched the CTS-V on a business lease. He was talking about the car with a friend over breakfast. That same day, he went to the Cadillac dealer and ended up taking it home. He likes it for the horsepower and comfort, as this is his daily ride. Here is the list of mods that he’s done on it so far.
