Randy’s was established in Kemptville by Randy Urslak in 1994.  For 23 years Randy has been the proud owner of an automotive shop that has become a local favorite for its honest, professional and friendly service. Randy has a love of drag racing and it has been a big part of the company from the very beginning. He loves the high performance cars and the hot rods and we sure have a lot of customers bringing their hot rods to us for engine building, custom exhausts, custom fabrication and more. Randy also has a love for firefighting and has been a firefighter since 1999. He worked his way up to become the deputy fire chief at the Kemptville Fire Department in July 2015.

When the Deputy Chief position opened, Randy started to evaluate if it would be a good time for a change. He applied, got the position at the Fire department, and told his employees that the opportunity of purchasing the business was available.  Richard McKenney showed interest right away. Richard has been working at Randy’s for the past 10 years and he always wanted to work for himself one day, so this was a win-win situation. Randy knew that the shop would be in great hands and Richard worked really hard to make this happen. Richard became the owner of Randy’s Performance Automotive on May 1^st, 2017.
