The show was better than pimp my ride. It's clear predecessor. I love the backstories and how most of the time there's not too outlandish mods. Thank god for the not putting TVs behind every headrest. It reales this more into reality and wasn't 100% for the show and the contestants could actually get use out of it. The mods mostly made sense and were tasteful. The cast and crew were perfect. I would have given it ten stars if they would just do a little bit. A tiny bit of dam engine work. I know it's not appealing to masses but show a couple maintenance bits and an injector upgrade. Intake. Something. I will say now watching the final episode. They touch the engine .. okay.
Immediately upon viewing this show is a Pimp My Ride vibe. The show is aware of the comparison. The episodes are cheeky and each car still gets an unnecessary item but usually not so far it can't be removed. Most customs are pretty grounded and useful. My rating is because it felt like a little nostalgia as well as few new tricks.
The team seems to get along well with one another. I hope that the balance of showcasing each member of the team remains and doesn't become the Don, Nelson, and Chris show. Maybe in the future could be a follow up to see what the people that receive the custom did with their vehicle.

Starts off good with the first episode. The car owner is someone who could really use the help. Everything is going good until the shows host just demands they add a "pizza shooter" to the car. It was so dumb, a pure waste of time, and not something any car owner would ever want. Luckily they didn't actually attach it to the car, but it was still an incredibly stupid detour for the episode.
Second episode, the car owner is a spoiled kid who isn't even old enough to drive yet, and is about to get his license. He has no gratitude, no struggle in his life at all, so it's just a big gift to someone who totally does not deserve it, and it's hard to watch because it's so cringey. I'm all for helping people who need the help, but gifting a spoiled kid a pimped put car? No.
Couldn't bother to keep watching after the first 2 episodes. Show has no soul to it, like Rust Valley Restorations did. But at least they do some repairs to the cars, unlike pimp my ride.

Well, we all missed de 2000's and MTV right? Too bad because the show is really bad. Reaally bad. Staring with the cast of mechanics: they have no charisma and, honestly, it looks like they're a bunch of models pretending to be actors pretending to be mechanics. The script is lost, there is a mix of Ashton Kutcher's punk'd with Roast that simply doesn't work due to Chris Redd's lack of talent. The show is intercut with outdated and tacky montages, and the car designs are ridiculous, exaggerated and silly. I miss "Pimp my ride", so respect the dead and don't resurrect this show because this one is shameful.

I feel that many are unfairly judging this series, it's not a 10/10 Emmy winning show, but it's not supposed to be.
It is very much 'Pimp my Ride', but comparing it directly is unfair. Firstly, many(like myself) are guilty of remembering PMR through rose tinted glasses.
Secondly a lot are being negative against Chris Redd and likely comparing him to Xzibit who, let's be honest, was the only decent person involved with PMR when the real stories came out, so he has biggest shoes to fill and deserves a little time to master the role.
Thirdly, you can't hammer the people who work on the cars too much, they are not used to being in front of the camera and need time to get used to it.
It's a light hearted show and enjoyable show to watch, I'm sure those involved will improve as it continues and deserves a chance. Hopefully, unlike PMR, we don't hear about horrible attitudes and bad goings on behind the camera.

All these car restoration shows need to take a leaf from the book of Car S. O. S tv series. I hate this show as it adds stupid things to the car , like a pizza thrower?! I'm all for car restoration cars that bring a car back to life, make it look as good as new, but when they add stupid unwanted items to the cars it really bothers me. Adding useless items to the car really lowers the value for resale which is one of the most important parts of restoring a car, the owner must be able to sell it on if they feel the need. I feel that the show never takes the car owners feelings into consideration, yes the finish product looks great but l can't stand the ridiculous add ons that don't take car restoration seriously but instead is after laughs for the viewers for some strange reason.

They are supposed to tweak cars, but it's just another Americanized show trying to be 'Pimp My Ride.' The jokes are terrible, and you barely see how the cars are made, which should be the focus of the show. Do not waste your time.
The filming style is super fast and chaotic, making it difficult to follow what's happening. I tried to watch the first episode, but it was so frenetic that it drove me insane. The show seems more interested in flashy editing and forced humor than in showcasing the actual process of car customization.
What viewers really want to see is proper mechanics at work, meticulously tweaking and upgrading cars with skill and precision. Instead, we're given a superficial spectacle that misses the mark. The show could have been a great platform to delve into the craftsmanship and creativity involved in car modification, but it fails to deliver on this promise.
In summary, if you're looking for a show that truly appreciates and highlights the art of car customization, this isn't it. Save your time and look elsewhere.

I like car shows . I was hoping for this show to be good or exciting, but it is really lake's excitement and the crow try to be funny but they are not . Like at all
The show is build on the same idea of the iconic pimp my ride , but there's way much difference between both shows
Specifically the crow and dynamic between them
The stupid annoying jocks
The intro with stupid pranks
It's watchable but at all not enjoyable
They try too much but got nothing
Some of the crow don't have any idea what they are doing some of them don't have any thing related with the show
Specially the lady with big . U know
She litterly have nothing to do but too look good I think
I tried to like this show But no It need so much work to make it watchable and maybe sighn a season 2 or maybe series.

Came across this series by accident and fell in love with it! Chris Reed is just absolutely hilarious and so energetic. I love how he connects with the contestants. The dream team is so freaking talented and fun. The ideas they come up with are just amazing, full of creativity and ability to execute. They're changing people's lives one episode at a time. The contestants' reactions after the reveal Make me tear-eyed and happy. As a car lover, I'm really enjoying this. Finally, something good to watch other than Netflix-generated romantic movies and series I'm so excited for season 2. Hopefully, it get released soon.
I see hate about silly stuff they do to the cars. However if you did like pimp my ride like I did at 10 years old. You know it was never about the overall restoration of the car but to make it unique. It's cool I just wished they do it with more poverty stricken people or places. I noticed have cars are old but no rust n decent shape, I got a driveway full of worse cars and these people mostly look to live in nice neighborhoods and houses. But nonetheless it's a decent show really entertaining. I've always loved Chris Redds stand up so that helps having him as host . But again it's not like Roadkill or other legit car shows out but still worth the watch people that hate knew what it was b4 they watched so no need to hate on it these shows have a preview for a reason.

I grew up watching pimp my ride and it Definitely has the same vibe but I love it. The ideas are cool the creativity is awesome and you gotta love the crew especially shayna, she's hot and Definitely a goat at her craft. It makes you look at your car and think like damn, what can i do to this thing to make it better. Some things are corny like pimp my ride but thats needed. It gives the show character and a laugh, and at the least makes you smile. Shows great i love it personally and i think a season two would be even better. Keep shayna though shes the truth. I give the show a straight up 10/10 hands down and I work in a garage it's great in my eyes.

Hubby & I are car enthusiast & came across Resurrected Rides... Liked it so much we binged on the Season 1 and hoping for a Season 2.
Great combination of people on the show and each one is exceptional in what they do. Need more good clean shows like this.
Always watched other shows like Pimp My Ride, Overhaulin', Rust to Riches, Counting Cars, so it ws great to see a new one come along.
Shows like this inspire younger generations to be creative as there will always be a need for these kinds of talents.
Really hoping for more of this typy of productions to come to Netflix and a Season 2 of Resurrected Rides.

Used to watch Pimp my ride back in the day, so this show does have the same vibe and feel of the original show. But with the new team of expert resuactors, that not only keep you entertained, but also know how to bring back old cars to life. As you watch the show you get to meet the team members better and what expertise they bring to the table. Chris Redd, does a good job in bringing his style of comic relief to the show, as well as his fun and goofy self to entertain audiences.the writing and production of the show is well done. Every episode is a masterpiece, you get to see from start to finish how a car is resurrected.
Hi what or how can I submit a vehicle for my husband SUV for the show. My name is mixi his wife. I trying submit a request to get his SUV redone he loves his 2004 GMC Yukon Denali. She got a lot of problems over 300,000 miles and she still running good but gots lots of leaks and other problems he calls her Christine like the old movie because you be driving her and seats will just start moving like the movie. Her stereo goes on and off just random times. She leaks oil everywhere. Please help redo my husband SUV for him and bring Christine back to life he deserves it he sure a hard worker and is the last person to ask for help and will give his last dollar to make sure you eat before he does.
Here's what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't go into watching this show expecting to experience television worthy of trunk fulls of Emmy nominations (see what I did there?) You're not going to be able to draw comparisons to Masterpiece Theater. But you can expect a fun, turn-your-brain off and feel-good car restoration show. It's fantastic, honestly. And even though it's not winning a bunch of Emmys it's clever, well-made, and has a great cast. Chris Redd is a natural host. He's hilarious and kind of impish (I mean that in a good way) and seems to genuinely care about the participants, and the restoration team. The car restorations are so cool. They are over-the-top but they look awesome. The Mazda in the last episode is insanely cool. Super smart, playful and entertaining show. My suggestion: sit down after dinner and just veg out and enjoy some nice, entertaining, feel-good tv.

I think this show is great considering the amount of time they do have for eps. I can see a lot of reviews (almost every) over the internet are from a specific gender, specific demographic & it shows why this show has such bad ratings considering the incredibly short sited comments that those reviewers have made i.e. Someone can't be pretty AND have trade jobs AND is apparently are an issue because their segment is short; those same reviewers have compared the show to Pimp my Ride, talking up that show SO HEAVILY in a variety of ways while ripping down this one which is funny because that show does have it's own flaws too, even tho it is also a great show and ripping down 1 thing because you can't handle the fact that more than 1 great thing in a genre can exist is rude. You need to NOT watch, use, consume, etc and avoid reviewing the new thing if you are determined to dislike/hate because of unavoidable reasoning (timing and worker cannot change that too). I didn't give it a better rating because they introduce Lacey every ep, bring her in for stuff but then don't show much about the engine work, if they extended the episodes by 5 minutes then they might be able to fit more specifics for it but also it would give bad people the fuel to make worse comments so i see why it may have been made this way. I'm not a mechanic but i do have some training for this stuff & a bit of knowledge from being super curious, also great at figuring things out with context and the show seems great to me besides what i said earlier, some other things are cut short depending on the episode because of the works that are focused on for that episode but so far it works and the jobs seem well done.
I thought this show was a great comeback from pimp my ride. It's not just tvs and video games here there and everywhere. Most of what they do is practical and they generally only add 1 silly thing to the car (not every car gets a silly thing though) they also fix whatever issues the car may have. I hope they do another season.
I also love that the people they pick to be on the show are kind caring people who give back to the community. I've seen a few reviews about the young boy who got the car from his grandmother saying he is "spoilt" and doesn't know what it takes to "work hard".
Most kids these days want brand new everything even for a first car!! Before he knew he was going on the show he wanted that car to be his first car because there was a sentimental value to it. That boy was so appreciative and grateful.

If you were addicted to shows like Monster Garage, Junkyard Wars, or American Chopper, this is worth a look.
You still get to feel like you're actually learning something about what it takes to restore a car, but in a stress-free, Bake-Off environment.
Yes, the producers play stupid stunts to start off the episode, while at the same time dumping the gag after admitting they had no good ideas for that week.
Yes, the producers throw in last-minute additions to create artificial drama, despite it being pretty clear that all the deadlines were made up-- we clearly see work-in-progress parts of other builds in the backgrounds.
You don't care about any of that, because the crew are just too fun to watch. While all those shows of the 2000s thrived on conflict and chaos, this group is all about building each other up. Even when crew are intentionally screwing with each other, you know it's for laughs and not out of malice.
Chris Redd is the perfect front man, finding ways to make you laugh at the stupidest, worst-conceived ideas. The enthusiasm each crew member has as they geek out hard over their crazy idea of the week is infectious. And the final results are just impressive, even if they took a month to nail it.
I really hope they get a season two, because I will watch the hell out of it.

Amazing humor they are uncensored, authentically themselves, and giving people who need it extra help. There were previous shows about pimpin rides, with dudes with grey hair, and while they were amazing at pimpin rides for people who have the money I think these professionals in this show know a good amount, and have good screen prescense addressing Netflix, audience, and including the film crew sometimes. Their interactions with eachother makes me think they might be friends, sometimes a little unclear because they could be close coworkers from many different backrounds. I think the customers are pretty alright aswell, their demands are a bit much sometimes but its awesome to see their vision come to life and know a little about them as well. I hope season two happens for the main colored dude speaks person.

The show is great and the characters are fun and have Great personalitys. You definitely feel the reality tv part of the show but its way more controlled and you can feel the real compassion in the Mechanics. The show is way more real than many other car shows and doesnt add any fake unnecessary drama just for show and that what makes the show way better than 95% off other car shows.
I see alot off bad reviews and they seems like old jealous boomers And most off them are just completely wrong and the people have clearly not watched the show. Its sad to see cause the show is actually really great and definitely worth watching if you like cars and people who actually know what they are doing cause the cast is clearly very skilled people.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but this show delivered.
Brought to us by the producers of pimp my ride and it shows. I loved that show back in the day and this is a fresh take on the old formula: take someone deserving who owns a junker, and transform it into a car like you've never seen before, matching their own individual personality.
I will say, some of the stuff they put into some of these cars are bizarre (I'm looking at you, pizza launcher and grappling hook), but I love seeing the incredible rides the team comes up with. The team is fun and each member adds their own personal expertise and touch to the build that's cool to see. Plus they all have great chemistry between them which is great to see. They're the best part of the show, plus they seem great at their jobs! I also think Chris Redd is a great host, he keeps the show quick and light.
A few things I'd change for future seasons: I like that they have pranks before each episode, but do feel like they need to commit to them a little more, or just not use Chris so obviously, most of them didn't pan out to be super believable, but that's not a huge deal to me. I also wish a few of the people they picked were a little more "deserving" of it. Obviously that's subjective, but for me picking the dog mom, for instance, felt much different than doing it for the kid who loved his grandma's old car, or the surfing teacher. Lastly, I could have done without some of the suggestive photos at the beginning when everyone was being introduced.
One thing I didn't expect is that I'm actually learning a lot as I'm watching. It's fascinating to see how smart this crew is, and I liked that they explain what they're doing as they go. I would love to see more of that in future seasons!
The cinematography is much better than I anticipated. The close up b-roll shots of them doing normal stuff like mixing paint, screwing bolts, etc makes it look epic. Hats off to the camera crew, as well as the editing crew. You could tell they had a blast putting these episodes together, and they didn't take themselves too seriously which I appreciate, some of the editing effects are hilarious.
All in all love the show, and appreciate it's something all ages can watch on the whole. Bring on more seasons!
