The inspiring journey of Mekhi L Thompson - where passion meets legacy
From the moment he could walk, Mekhi's passion for automobiles was undeniable. As a toddler, he would drive his battery-operated Big Wheels truck into the darkness of night, fearless and determined. Shopping trips with his father were adventures in themselves - while other kids wanted toys, Mekhi's eyes lit up only for Matchbox cars.
The automotive industry flows through his veins like motor oil. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather each dedicated over 20 years to the car business before retirement. This generational knowledge and respect for the craft shaped Mekhi's understanding that cars aren't just machines - they're expressions of identity and dreams.
At just 18 years old, Mekhi made history as the first African American to be hired by one of Atlanta's largest automotive groups. This groundbreaking achievement wasn't just a job - it was a statement of excellence, determination, and the power of following your passion despite obstacles.
Today, Mekhi L Thompson has transformed his childhood passion into a thriving automotive customization business. From stunning wheel and caliper painting to sleek powder coat chrome deletes, he brings visions to life with the same fearless spirit that drove him through those dark nights as a child.
