Fred Ashmore — Mechanic. Rescuer. Restorer.
Ashmores Speed & Performance — ASAP
Fred Ashmore grew up in Hancock, Maine with grease under his fingernails and a dream in his chest. After graduating from Wyoming Technical Institute (WyoTech), he took his skills south to Oklahoma and turned a passion into a business.
Today, Ashmores Speed & Performance — ASAP operates out of Drumright, Oklahoma, serving customers across the region with vehicle rescues, performance builds, and towing. What started as a childhood dream is now a thriving operation with over 35,000 followers watching every move.
Fred's philosophy is simple: life is good when you love what you do. Every barn find, every rescue, every performance build is done with that same kid-from-Maine energy that started it all.

These aren't staged. These aren't easy. These are real vehicles pulled from real places — fields, trees, barns, and roadsides across Oklahoma and beyond.
Left buried in the trees for decades, this flatbed farm truck was loaded down with tar paper and empty promises. Extracted from heavy vegetation and brought back to civilization. Future: cool car hauler.

Grew up in Hancock, ME with a love for all things mechanical. Small-town Maine gave Fred the work ethic and hands-on instinct that would define his entire career.
Attended WyoTech — one of the nation's premier trade schools for automotive, diesel, and collision technology. Trained to the highest standard in the industry.
Where the foundation was laid. Ellsworth, Maine shaped the man before the mechanic — hard winters, harder work ethic.
Relocated to Drumright, Oklahoma and launched ASAP. What started as a performance shop quickly expanded into full vehicle rescue, towing, and a growing social media presence that now reaches tens of thousands daily.
With 35,000 followers, multiple rescue operations running simultaneously, and rare parts moving daily — Fred Ashmore is just getting started. CRUSHCAR.com is the home base for everything ASAP.
