custom shops
Made-to-order retailers
Custom shops are businesses that modify or build products to individual specifications, especially in automotive contexts.
A custom shop might install aftermarket parts, apply specialty paint jobs, or fabricate one-of-a-kind vehicles: He took his motorcycle to a custom shop for a new exhaust system.
The term extends to any workshop producing personalized or bespoke items rather than mass-produced goods.
