passionate customization experts in the industry. This team is
led by a legend in the customization field, Fritz Holzer. Learn

ZAK
For Zak Tremont, a lifelong obsession with cars and trucks has
developed into a full-blown fascination for automotive design and
customization. “I’m a designer and builder by nature,” he says.
“This is not only my passion…this is who I am.”
Born and raised in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, he graduated
from Pittsburgh Central Catholic High School in 2007 and Ohio
University in 2012. Over the years, Zak has held sales positions
with #1 Cochran’s Hyundai, Infiniti, and Audi stores. He also
served as regional manager for Dealer Services International
(DSI), where he oversaw lifted truck package sales in the
tri-state area. In June 2023, Zak officially transitioned into his
new role with Customs by Cochran.
When Zak looks at a vehicle, he sees unlimited possibilities. For
years, he personally customized his Jeep Wrangler, and his latest
project is fine-tuning his Toyota 4Runner. Not only is he a
hands-on expert, but he’s also certified in CAD 3D design
engineering software. His ideal job has always been outfitting
dream rides, and he’s pumped to do just that for Customs by
Cochran customers.
When he’s not on the clock, you’ll find him spending time with his
wife Sara, daughter Kennedy, and son Harrison. Zak’s other
interests include architectural design, cooking, and outdoor
activities.
FRITZ
To say that Fritz was born with motor oil in his blood is an
understatement! Growing up, he was fueled by his parents’ passion
for custom cars and motorsports. In fact, Fritz spent most of his
afternoons and weekends tinkering around their auto repair shop,
at shows, or on the racetrack. At a young age (perhaps a precursor
to his future), he would modify his toys because he just couldn’t
leave them stock.
Later, Fritz would grow that talent into a career in automotive
services and customs, eventually taking his builds to SEMA,
partnering with Goodguys Rod and Custom, and building many other
high-end vehicles. As well as developing relationships with
vendors, Fritz has personally built a ‘67 and ‘68 Chevy C10, a ‘54
GMC, a ‘73 International Travelette (featured on prime time TV),
and a ‘66 pro-street Nova. His custom builds have been showcased
in Classic Trucks magazine as well as the JEGS High Performance
catalog.
Today, Fritz is thrilled to help Customs by Cochran customers
create daily drivers that stand apart from the crowd.
