Jeep
Max A.

I upgraded the gears on my 2025 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X from 4.10 to 4.80. Great company, super friendly team. My manager was Sean -- he handled everything smoothly and professionally. The work was done clean, fast, and exactly as promised. Now I can fully enjoy my Jeep. Highly recommend.

"READ THE 1-STAR REVIEWS FIRST - FATAL SAFETY FAILURE" I chose Rebel Off Road because I trusted their professional image and public reputation, but what I experienced was shocking, stressful, and completely unacceptable. Throughout this situation, I tried to remain professional and respectful and expressed my willingness to resolve everything amicably. Yet, after paying nearly $4,000 for a re-gear service, I discovered a massive gear oil leak covering my driveway the very next morning due to an improperly secured axle. This left my driveway stained and reeking of gear oil--with professional cleaning estimates ranging from $400 to $600--and I spent the entire weekend in anxiety, questioning whether my truck was even safe to drive, and eventually having to return it on Monday, which disrupted my business. During this process, I was communicating with my assigned service advisor, but responses were often delayed, unclear, or evasive; messages went unanswered, questions were redirected, and clear answers were difficult to obtain. When I brought the truck back, it was described as "just a loose axle" and claimed fixed, yet no documentation was provided proving that the differential or internal gears were inspected after I had driven it for an hour while leaking. Their claim that "there is no problem" or "everything is fine" is something no reasonable person could trust. With re-gear work, any mistake or improper setup often only becomes apparent after several thousand miles of driving. This is why a formal guarantee is not just a request, but a necessity. When I requested a formal written warranty, they only gave me a $0 invoice with no actual warranty terms or duration. For days, I calmly requested two very reasonable things: a formal written warranty and a fair resolution for the driveway damage. I never demanded compensation for emotional distress or lost business time; I simply asked for accountability. After experiencing this, I looked through other reviews and realized that my experience was not an isolated incident. I strongly urge everyone to READ THE 1-STAR REVIEWS FIRST before coming here. You will see a chilling and habitual pattern: dodging responsibility, being 'afraid of standing behind their work,' and sneakily adding extra charges--then claiming they are unavoidable. In fact, I later realized the overcharge I experienced was just a small fraction compared to what others have reported. You will also notice that the owner's responses to negative reviews are always the same--robotic, defensive, and dismissive. They publicly ask customers to 'contact us' to give the appearance of being helpful, but it is nothing more than a deceptive marketing tactic. If they truly intended to resolve these issues, my driveway wouldn't still be stained, and I wouldn't be left with a useless $0 invoice instead of a real warranty. The fact that these 1-star reviews remain unchanged proves that their 'invitation to talk' is a sham and nothing ever gets resolved. They have a template for excuses but no manual for accountability. I am sharing my experience and my filing with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) so that other victims know there is a formal way to seek accountability. After seeing so many similar complaints, I strongly encourage anyone who has had similar experiences with their safety, property damage, or deceptive billing to file a formal complaint with the BAR as well. As a business owner for over 20 years, I understand mistakes happen, but I cannot accept a refusal to take responsibility. I am now filing a formal complaint with the Bureau of Automotive Repair and initiating a credit card dispute. A strong online presence means nothing if a company fails to protect its customers' safety and property. [UPDATE: Response to the Owner's Reply] The owner's response below is exactly what I warned about: a robotic, defensive excuse that shifts the blame. They claim a 'failed C-clip' on an aftermarket part, but as any professional knows, this is a clear sign of improper installation, not a part failure. They also claim they 'verified' no internal damage, yet they provided zero technical proof or a detailed inspection report after I drove with no oil for an hour. Mentioning a '90-day warranty' now is laughable--if that were true, why did they refuse to provide a formal written warranty when I asked for it repeatedly for days? Their response is just another marketing tactic to look responsible in public while remaining unaccountable in private. My filing with the BAR and the credit card dispute will proceed as planned.

My jeep gladiator

I have been back and forth with Ryan for a bout a week . I have a 2020 jeep gladiator . So I was trying to get my gears done . And Ryan he tells me oh it's $1400-$1500 just labor to do the gears . I paid $1200 for the gears . And I can't see how they sleep at night . I want them to earn my business but I'm not after what he told me . $1900 out the door with there gears and labor . So 1200 for gears plus $700 labor ? And they want 14-15 hundred just labor to replace the gears I bought from there website . He keeps saying promotion this and that that's total BS!! I understand there here to make money but not trying to rip people off .

Rebel Off Road is a solid outfit. Unlike other places, they specialize in Jeep modifications. Which means a wealth of experience outfitting rigs tailored to each client. I found them by taking advantage of Yelps "Request a Quote" feature. Sean was my service advisor and he made things happen to shorten my installation timeline by a week. He and I actually partnered on the build and he truly listened to my concerns and expectations. He didn't oversell me, but he also was firm about certain parts I could not skimp on to meet my vision. I have a daily driver and it was important to have an aggressive look, but a practical ride. Sean is very responsive, he will proactively return your calls, and give project updates. He also builds the hype with you. I was pumped to get my car after seeing the teaser pics. Jeep builds are not cheap, you get what you pay for. Sean will work with your budget. A few things I like, were little, but go along way. Rebel Off Road, does not discard any of your parts without asking first. They put their license plate frame on your car without asking. This shows pride in their work. Everyone is polite on the phone. They hooked me up with a tee shirt and suggested some beginner trails for me. They schedule a follow up after 1,000 miles driven to firm up your alignment. One service they should offer, live tutorials workshops on all the Jeep functions and options that come from the manufacturer and how they work with your new build. They have some expensive builds there, but they treated mine like it was the most important. I got my first wrangler built somewhere else, and I can clearly see the better quality on this one.

Snapped bolt head with silicone on it

I had my gearing changed here a while back and just got around to replacing the diff cover, so the first time the cover has been off since Rebel touched it. I come to find that one of the bolt holes was welded closed, and the snapped bolt head was siliconed in place to make it appear that the bolt was still in. Whether or not they were the ones who had originally snapped the bolt is beside the point, since they were the last ones who touched the diff and I was never informed of the issue. What was supposed to be a quick diff fluid and cover change turned into scrambling to get the weld drilled out and retap the hole so I was able to continue driving my jeep that I use daily to get to work and school. Being informed of the issue would have at least let me plan for the situation so mending it wouldn't have been as unexpected and costly.

Half Height Rack

Great shop & people. The half height bed rack for my gladiator works. When I had questions, they had solutions.

I then turned to Yelp to find a business in my area and came across The Prestige Companies Auto Upholstery. From the very beginning, The Prestige Companies Auto Upholstery demonstrated a strong commitment to customer service. I called and spoke with Matt, who asked me to send enough photographs for him to prepare an estimate by text. When I asked whether he needed to see the vehicle in person, Matt explained that he could provide the estimate from the photographs. This saved me time, and I received the estimate within about an hour. I was also pleased that the company was located nearby and able to service my vehicle. When I dropped off my vehicle, I worked with Matt to find a headliner material in the same color as the original. I also had a new wrap for my leather steering wheel, which was coming apart. In addition, I asked Matt to examine the leather cover on the driver's seat bottom, which was cracked and had foam falling apart. Matt said he would discuss the issue with his dad who was the owner. Matt called me within two days of dropping off the vehicle to provide an update. There had been a hiccup while they searched for the right leather, but when I explained that the vehicle had custom leather installed more than 20 years ago, Matt reassured me by saying, "Don't worry, we got you." I picked up my vehicle today and was very impressed with the work. The replacement headliner looked much better than the one originally installed by the manufacturer. The steering wheel wrap looked good, and the driver's leather seat was done well. Matt also told me that they had rebuilt the foam in the driver's seat. When I drove out of the lot, I could immediately feel that the driver's seat provided much more support. I am truly happy with all the work completed by The Prestige Companies Auto Upholstery. It is especially nice to work with a local business that serves its community. If you need auto upholstery work, do not wait any longer to contact Matt at The Prestige Companies Auto Upholstery.

At around 54K miles, my local mechanic noticed an intermittent ticking noise once the engine was fully warmed up. Out of caution, he suggested it could be related to the rod bearings. I started calling around, and most shops quoted 2 to 3 days of downtime along with labor costs that were higher than I expected. When I spoke with Malek, he told me the job could be completed in a single day, and his pricing was comparatively fair. He also recommended replacing the engine mounts while everything was apart. After seeing the originals, which had significant wear and visible cracks, it was an easy decision. Throughout the process, Malek took the time to explain exactly what he was doing, the parts and materials he uses, and the proper aftercare after the service. It's clear he knows these cars inside and out, and genuinely cares about doing the job right. The results speak for themselves. The intermittent ticking is completely gone, the engine sounds fantastic, and I have much greater peace of mind knowing this important maintenance has been taken care of. I expect this refresh will help me enjoy the car for many more years. If you own an E9X M3 and are looking for someone knowledgeable, honest, and passionate about BMWs, I highly recommend Malek and MRF Engineering.
