Getting to know Ray Ogura from Auto Glass Excellence
Where did you grow up? How long have you lived in the area? Tell us about your family
Auto Glass Excellence is located in Tempe, AZ and has been open since 2001. This business was opened by my father in law so it is near and dear to our family. My wife and I have three children and we live in Gilbert, AZ.
Tell us about the events that led up to where you are now.
I attended Arizona State University. After college, my father-in-law (the owner of Auto Glass Excellence) offered me a job at the glass shop and I have worked my way up to general manager.
What is your business, how/why did you start your business?
We are an automotive glass repair and tint shop. My father-in-law opened this business in 2001 with one goal: Provide the highest quality care and customer service in the valley. We are proud to say we have maintained that status. Our customers' ease and happiness are of the utmost importance to us. A broken windshield is a stressful and cumbersome situation to deal with and we work tirelessly to make this process as painless as possible.
Given your business expertise and the nature of what you do, what advice can you offer to Seville neighbors?
Our professional advice would be to address all chips in your windshield as soon as possible to avoid them spreading, leading to full windshield replacements. Life advice would be to live in the moment, as if every day could be your last. Don't dwell on the negatives, focus on the things you can change and let the rest be. You never know how much more time you have with your loved ones.
What is unique about your business?
We are and have been a local, family owned business since 2001. We go above and beyond for our customers and will never fail at that. You will not find a team of employees as close as ours; we truly are family. Our team of technicians are the best of the best. They are highly skilled, detail-oriented, and have worked in this industry for many years.
What else should we know about you, your family, or your business?
Our family is our business, and our business is our family. We treat our team as family, and they, in turn, treat our beloved customers with the respect and care they deserve. Our family is local to Arizona and we take pride in being Arizona natives (some of us). We are a close-knit family who enjoys the outdoors, traveling together, adventuring, and spending quality time together as much as possible.
