Reviving Rides: The Ashco Story
Meet the Owner
My name is Cody Predium, the owner of Ashco Collision Repair LLC. Opening Ashco wasn't just a business decision.
It was a lifelong dream, one I built for my kids as much as for myself. I wanted to create something they could own, operate, and carry forward.
For me, applying paint isn't just a skill. It's something that resonates with the iridescent colors, the pearls, the metallics. Every vehicle that comes through my shop gets that same care and intention.
I've been perfecting my craft since 2004, starting as a painter's helper at local shops right here in southwest Louisiana.
Over the next two decades, I sharpened my skills through vocational training, industrial coatings work across Louisiana and Texas.
I eventually earned my NACE 2 Coatings Inspector certification, the kind of precision most body shops never touch.
