Pigeon Forge Rod Run Fall 2025

BRINGING CLASSICS BACK TO LIFE

Aaron and Emily Reeves are the husband-and-wife duo behind Sparks Garage, a place where classic cars, creativity, and community all come together. What began as a simple love for hot rods and the garage life has grown into something much bigger—a movement that’s inspiring car enthusiasts all across the country.

Aaron has been turning wrenches since he was young, driven by a passion for restoring forgotten rides and making them better than ever. Emily

brings her own spark, with a love for the culture and a talent for connecting with fans and sharing their story in a way that makes everyone feel like part of the journey. Together, they’ve built Sparks Garage into more than just a shop—it’s a team, a brand, and a family.

Their builds reflect a mix of skill, imagination, and heart. From breathing new life into rusted-out classics to creating head-turning custom rides, Aaron and Emily are proof that when passion meets hard work, amazing things happen. Fans have come to know them not just for the cars they build, but for the genuine personalities behind the projects. They laugh, they hustle, they face challenges head-on—and they invite the whole car community to ride along with them.

What sets Aaron and Emily apart is their ability to connect with people. Whether you’ve been around hot rods your entire life or are just discovering the thrill of your first classic, they make you feel welcome. Sparks Garage is about more than horsepower and chrome—it’s about keeping traditions alive, inspiring new builders, and celebrating the stories that every car carries with it.

This year, the Reeves are thrilled to be celebrity guests at the Pigeon Forge Rod Run, one of the biggest and best-loved car shows in the country. They’ll be signing autographs, swapping stories, and meeting fellow enthusiasts all weekend long. Make sure to stop by, shake hands, and share your own car stories—you’ll quickly see why Aaron, Emily, and Sparks Garage are sparking excitement wherever they go.
