Our Story

Built From The Ground Up

McQueen Augusta started as a side project by Korey Anderson — a full-time IT professional who spent his own money and countless nights after work building a custom Lightning McQueen-inspired Dodge Challenger, one part at a time.

There was no investor, no marketing team, no guarantee it would work. Just a bet that Augusta families would want something different for their kids' parties — and that a business built around genuine community outreach could actually last.

Today McQueen Augusta operates under Tatty LLC, still founder-run, still showing up personally to most events — because the point was never just the car. It was always the people around it.

The Work Behind The Car

This isn't the flashy part of the business. It's the part we care about most.

Community Volunteering

Compass for Hope

Compass for Hope is a local nonprofit supporting our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Every week we show up as volunteers — bringing the car alongside their work not for attention, but to stand with our community and show this business wants to be part of it. No cameras, no press release. Just a standing commitment we keep because it matters.

Drive Kind, Be Kind School Program

Drive Kind • Be Kind

Our anti-bullying assembly program visits Augusta classrooms with one message: drive kind, be kind. It's funded by community sponsors, not school budgets, so no school ever has to choose between this and something else they need.
