How We Started:
In 2008 CEO Eric Schildkraut started building police cars for a local department. Since then Eric has successfully opened his first shop located in Wauconda, IL and grew his business into what it is today. Now located in Volo, IL, SAE Customs continues to offer the most pristine police, fire, security and civilian automotive installations in Northern Illinois.
