Owner of AVI and car enthusiast, Safi started this company with the intention of bringing people’s ideas to life. No matter how difficult the job, Safi and AVI strive to deliver. Growing up he always was tinkering with cars, on their design and performance. After watching “The Rock” and the yellow Ferrari 355 Spider flying through the glass windows, he was hooked. Earning a degree in biomedical engineering and medical imaging Safi realized that his true passion was cars and followed that passion to make it into a career.

Favorite build: Pininfarina Azzurra. This was the very first full interior custom build, we learned a great deal. There were design and creativity elements that were not used before by AVI. We were given the freedom to experiment.

Over the past 6 years he has made his Hellcat into one of the fastest manual Hellcats in the world. The friends that he has made along the journey of building his car will last a lifetime, and presented him with so many great opportunities.

Born in Puerto Rico, Juan started his journey as a professional car detailer in 1996 . It all began as a summer job that turned into a 25+ yrs wonderful career . This passion gives Juan opportunities he never imagined. Having the opportunity to train younger generations of professionals around the world was unimaginable back then, that now has become a great reality and it’s only getting better. You know what they say- “if you love what you do, it’s not work!” Currently Juan enjoys being the head detailer at AVI. This opportunity is a great moment in his life and is really excited for all the great things coming. He’s looking forward to great
experiences and high quality results on every project!

Favorite Project: A 1,700 original mile 1994 Porsche 993 that was given to us full of swirls, scratches and imperfections to perform a full paint correction and surface restoration. The transformation on that vehicle was beyond amazing, and the final result was a brand new looking 30+ year old car!

As an artist, product engineer, and car enthusiast, Coltin has always gravitated toward the automotive design industry. After earning his degree in industrial design and beginning his career in product design within the retail and commercial interior design industry, Coltin found an opportunity at AVI to truly begin his career in the automotive design sector. With thousands of hours of CAD, CNC manufacturing, and 3D printing experience, he was immediately able to integrate himself into the creative working environment at AVI and began pushing the limits of what was possible with incoming projects through innovative applications of additive manufacturing.

Favorite Build: Land Rover Defender – Project Reaper: This was the first build that Coltin was involved in when first starting at AVI, which involved a fully custom 3D printed interior. This project consisted mostly of designs that started “from the ground up”, including custom door panels, a custom dashboard, and even a custom center console.

Favorite Part of the Job: Every day presents new challenges. There is a lot at stake with each piece of every project, no matter how small. Everything produced through CAD and 3D printed techniques must be perfect; therefore, the final product is extremely rewarding.

Amazing experience with Safi and his team - yet again. So prompt, so professional and so affordable. They recently installed a remote starter on my vehicle, which isn’t an easy task. They not only nailed it, they went above and beyond to get it done. I’ll be back for sure.

Chris Cuozzo

Very professional and they make sure everything is the way you want it. Also a great crew very friendly and explain what there doing so you understand. Couldn't ask for a better place to take your car.

Derrick Curran

These guys are masters of their craft. I was referred by a friend after my center screen went dark. BMW wanted to charge me over $4k to fix, and AVI came in and saved the day. They’re honest and communicative. I’ll refer them to anyone and be back for future work.
