Our Story

Rebel Road Hot Rod Garage was born in 1998. Following a father-son, backyard, restoration of a 1947 international. Sparking the passion of an 8 year old boy and classic vehicles, his dad named their “hot rod garage” after the street they lived on “Rebel Road,” in Smyrna, TN. 20 years later with the same passion now accompanied by his wife who also has a love for classic vehicles. Both resulted to building classic cars to survive a global pandemic. Using canceled wedding funds, Rebel Road Hot Rod Garage had its official opening in 2021.

​

Rebel Road has one goal in mind. Bring classic vehicles BACK TO LIFE! This isn't just our job, or hobby. This is our passion. Restoring vehicles to their former glory or upgrading them to have the same look and feel, but with modern advancements. We understand and appreciate the sentimental value your vehicle has to you and we hold the utmost respect for that relationship. Lets get you back on the road... THE REBEL ROAD!

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY

"I've known Jason and Joalda at Rebel Road for just a year and they are more than great car builders; they are great friends.I am very analytical and detail, quality, honesty, professionalism, and accuracy are very important to me in any business relationship; especially when you are asking for your hot rod/motorcycle to be perfect.Rebel road has done nothing less than impress. They started with my 1979 R65 BMW which I had gotten about 30% done. Jason and Joalda listened to my vision and went above and beyond giving me exactly what I wanted.Since then they now have my Dodge Dart, will be getting my model A truck next, and any/all future projects."

After calling around to multiple shops in ABQ and not getting a lot of help in terms of service for my restoration job I decided to give Rebel Road a try. Joalda answered the phone and when I started telling her about the project she seemed more excited than me! From that initial call and going in to meet Joalda and Jason I knew they were going to take care of my project. Joalda and Jason were able to talk me through the project in terms of pricing and time frame and gave me a few different price points that were in my wheelhouse. In terms of timeframe the Rebel Road team was able to get me on the schedule in a short amount of time.
The Rebel Road team did a fantastic job updating me throughout the process and sending pictures as different projects were completed. They also let me know ASAP if we needed new parts or there was something unforeseen with the truck.
When I dropped my project off they said it would take about a month to complete all the work. To be honest I didn't really think that was possible with everything involved. Lo and behold a month later I had my project totally completed and running again.
Joalda + Jason and the whole Rebel Road team seriously worked a miracle for my project. We stayed within budget, the work was completed when they said it would be, and their customer service went above and beyond what I had expected.
If you're thinking about finally doing that project that's been sitting in your garage for 5 years, call Rebel Road, you won't regret it.
