Rev & Rise 2025

________________________________
The first ever “Rev & Rise”, hosted by Integrity Auto Repair, took place this past weekend.  Being involved in an event like this wasn’t something I had seen myself doing but having a great group of people come together to create a community event was really fun. The live music, awesome vendors, and an incredible variety of vehicles made this first ever event one to remember.

For the past three years, I’ve worked here at Integrity Auto Repair as the head of media & marketing. Recently I put on the hat for event planning, so when the time came to start getting things in order for a car show- a friend and coworker also stepped in to really help with the heavy lifting. We knew with it being summer, an early morning start was the way to go – and because we didn’t want to call it something that has an officially licensed name (cough, cough), “Rev & Rise” was born. 

The success of Rev & Rise was mostly due to Joe of AVG.956, who got in touch with some great local vendors, like Cafecitos Espresso and MoonOwl Kitchen, whose food and caffeine paired nicely with great rides and friendly conversations. There were also opportunities to take home toys, vintage tees, and delicious treats for later thanks to the other vendors that came out to show their support. 

Speaking of, the support for this event was incredible. From the crew here at the shop stepping in when anything was needed, to also WORKING through it because the customers are always priority, to the rest of the vendors that made it out here bright and early. The DJ’s kept the jams going from start to finish, making sure that everyone who showed up would have a great time. The amount of times the flyer was shared was awesome and a big reason why every available space was full. There were beloved customers and neighbors that showed up with their own rides – showcasing everything from lowriders to exotics. We couldn’t have asked for a better Saturday morning. 

Again, shout out to the incredible people who made this morning possible!
