About Pro Xe Automotive

Pro Xe Automotive was born out of firsthand experience—seeing a lack of customer service, accountability, and quality performance options for the P1 Volvo aftermarket.

Our goal is simple: to build performance solutions with purpose. Every product and project is approached with a focus on drivability, reliability, efficiency, and real-world performance—because great engineering should not only make cars faster, but make owners confident, informed, and genuinely proud of what they drive.

At Pro Xe Automotive, we design and develop our parts in-house. All CAD work, mock-ups, test fitting, and validation are done by our team before production. We partner with small-batch CNC and automotive manufacturers to produce components to our exact specifications, ensuring quality and consistency.

Alongside product development, we offer in-house diagnostics, repairs, and vehicle modifications, including professional installation on everything we sell.

About The Owner ~ Zachary Purdy

I’m a young technician, fabricator, enthusiast and entrepreneur driven by a passion for motorsports, re-engineering, and pushing platforms past the normal. My foundation in the automotive world started early, working alongside my uncle in his foreign auto repair business, where I gained hands-on experience across a wide range of Euro and Japanese platforms, with the niche being VAG, BMW, Mercedes, Volvo From there, I moved into the dealership environment, earning certifications through multiple manufacturers. That experience taught me not only factory-level diagnostics and procedures, but also the importance of consistency, accountability, and doing things the right way—every time. I underwent Garrett Motion Turbo training and certification to better serve my customers with properly engineered, reliable turbo solutions

At 19, I began building the early foundations of Pro Xe Automotive out of my mother’s garage, taking on projects after hours, teaching myself fabrication, refining turbo systems, and learning through real-world trial, failure, and iteration. Those late nights and limited resources forced me to think critically, engineer creative solutions, and think outside the box—principles that still define my work today.

Pro Xe Automotive represents the intersection of that journey: grassroots problem-solving, dealer-level discipline, and an engineering-first mindset. I specialize in Volvo P1 platforms by choice, not limitation, while bringing experience from Euro and Japanese performance backgrounds to every build. The result is work that’s thoughtful, transparent, and designed to perform where it actually matters—on the road.

Pro Xe P1 Test Car

The Pro Xe AWD M66 S40 T5 is the original P1 development platform and the foundation of our hybrid turbo and airflow R&D. Built with a strict focus on real-world performance, durability, and drivability, this car proves that a properly built P1 Volvo can deliver serious power while remaining a reliable daily driver.

This car is used to test, refine, and prove all Pro Xe products in real street conditions before it ever reaches a customer. Our hybrid turbos, boost control parts, each part in our catalog has been street-tested under hard daily-driving conditions, not just simulated or dyno-only scenarios.

Unlike builds that see limited use, this S40 is driven consistently—cold starts, heat soak, traffic, highway pulls, and long-term wear are all part of the testing process. If a component can survive and perform reliably on this platform, it earns its place in the Pro Xe lineup.
