Welcome to Garage Rebel. We’re here to make premium garage upgrades easier to choose, order, and receive. Below you’ll find answers about product selection, ordering, shipping, freight delivery, returns, warranty coverage, and Rebel Support.

Need help before you buy? Our U.S.-based Rebel Support Team is available in English and Spanish during business hours.

Before You Order

Q: Are Garage Rebel products authentic?
A: Yes. Garage Rebel offers authentic, brand-new garage products selected from trusted brands and reliable supply channels. From garage storage systems and cabinets to car lifts, flooring, cooling, workbenches, garage gym equipment, and power solutions, every product is chosen to help you build a better garage.

Q: Can you help me choose the right product before I order?
A: Yes. If you’re unsure about sizing, compatibility, delivery requirements, or which garage upgrade is right for your space, our Rebel Support Team can help before you order. We can help you compare options for storage systems, car lifts, flooring, cabinets, workbenches, cooling, power solutions, and other garage equipment.

Q: Are your products easy to install?
A: Many products are DIY-friendly and include manuals or instructions. Some larger or heavier items may require two people, specialized tools, or professional installation. If you’re unsure what your product requires, contact us before ordering so we can help you review the details.

Ordering & Payment

Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover), PayPal, Shop Pay, Google Pay, and Venmo. Additional options may appear at checkout depending on your device and location.

Q: Do you offer installment payments?
A: Yes. Garage Rebel offers installment payment options through Shop Pay on eligible orders. If available, you’ll see the option to pay in installments at checkout. Approval, payment terms, and availability are managed by Shop Pay and may vary based on your order and eligibility.

Q: Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
We process and route orders rapidly to keep things moving. To request a change or cancellation, you must contact us in writing at support@garagerebel.com within 2 hours of placing your order and prior to fulfillment. Because we route orders rapidly, any cancellation request approved after an order has entered warehouse processing or supplier log staging may be subject to an administrative processing fee of up to 10%.

Shipping & Delivery

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Delivery time depends on the item and how it ships:

  • Small Parcel (UPS/FedEx/USPS): typically 3–12 business days after shipment (varies by location).
  • Freight/LTL (pallet delivery): typically 5–15 business days after shipment, plus time for delivery appointment scheduling. Some items have brand-specific lead times listed on the product page.

Q: Do you offer free shipping?
A: We offer free shipping on select products and orders within the contiguous United States. Oversized items, heavy freight shipments, remote delivery zip codes, or optional delivery accessorial services (like liftgates) may incur additional charges. We do not currently ship internationally.

Q: How can I track my order?
A: Once your order ships, you’ll automatically receive tracking or PRO information via email. Please note that heavy freight shipments typically show fewer mid-transit tracking scans than standard small parcel boxes; this is entirely normal.

Freight & Large Item Delivery

Q: How does freight delivery work for larger heavy items?
A: Freight deliveries are strictly curbside delivery and require a scheduled delivery window. The carrier will call or text you to book an appointment. Please ensure:

  • An adult (18+) is present to receive the freight.
  • A physical signature is provided on the delivery receipt or Bill of Lading (BOL).
  • You have planned logistics for moving/uncrating the product into your garage, as drivers do not bring items inside.

Q: Can the driver bring it inside or assemble it?
A: No. Inside delivery, structural placement, stairs, uncrating, and assembly/installation are not included unless clearly offered and paid for as a custom service line at checkout. If a driver agrees to perform extra labor at delivery, the carrier may bill you directly for unauthorized accessorial fees.

Q: What should I do when my freight order arrives?
A: Before signing the delivery receipt, you must thoroughly inspect the packaging, pallet, labels, and visible product condition. If you notice structural damage, crushed boxes, or missing items, **you must note it clearly on the delivery receipt or BOL before signing.** Taking photos at delivery is strongly recommended to protect subsequent carrier claims. 

Damage, Returns & Exchanges

Q: What if my order arrives damaged?
A: If there is visible or suspected transit damage at delivery:

  1. Take clear photos immediately (packaging + labels + product).
  2. Note the damage on the delivery receipt/BOL before signing (example: “Box crushed, corner damage, possible concealed damage”).
  3. Email support@garagerebel.com with your order number and photos within 3 business days. Carrier claim windows are incredibly strict, so please review our Shipping Policy for full compliance rules.
Returns & Exchanges

Q: What is your return policy?
A: Eligible items can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Returned items must be completely unused, unaltered, in their original packaging, and accompanied by an approved RMA. Certain specialized or custom-made items are designated as final sale, as disclosed on their individual product pages.

Q: Are returns free?
A: No. Return shipping costs and tiered restocking fees apply depending on the product brand and return reason. Outbound shipping costs are non-refundable; if an item was purchased under a "Free Shipping" promotion, the actual freight cost incurred by Garage Rebel will be deducted from your final refund.

Q: How do I start a return?
A: Email returns@garagerebel.com with your order number and the specific items you want to return. If eligible, our team will issue an official Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number along with designated warehouse routing instructions.

Product Installation & Warranty

Q: Do products come with a warranty?
A: Yes. Most equipment and tools sold on our site are backed by an official manufacturer’s warranty (terms vary by brand). Warranty details are listed on individual product pages. Garage Rebel does not provide additional or extended store warranties beyond official manufacturer parameters.

Works for minor things like bugs and dirt

This comes in a sprayer that makes it hard to spray out of and it also leaks a bit. Possibly damaged in shipment. It works well on bugs and dirt, but does nothing whatsoever for tar or tree sap. It is pretty expensive at almost $14 for a rather small bottle. Overall it is just okay and I probably would not order it again.

Pretty nice.

Decent stuff. Works pretty well and doesn't seem to take away too much protection. Not super aggressive. I use it lightly between trips during buggy season.

It works.

This WASH&WHIPS Hockenhiem Insect Remover seems to work and does a pretty good job of removing bug guts and other sticky things off the front of my car.The spray bottle is nicely sized for the price and has a nice scent to it. I like that you can use it as a standalone cleaner/detailer and that it is safe for paints and finishes. It is a good prep step before washing and waxing your car.Overall, a good product and would recommend for your vehicle cleaning needs.

Works Great. SUV is clean!

I drive a 17 year old SUV with a few dings all over it but otherwise has paint in decent shape. I washed it up with this soap (post-camping trip) it's at least nice and shiny now. Easy to use (I just use a bucket), rinses quickly, and most importantly looks great! Highly recommend!

foams very well to rich soft lather, seems to eliminate water spots, waxing is weak though

Well, this is a small bottle when it comes to car wash products..but a little seems to go a long way. I like it because it foams up fairly well, lasts on the car long enough to scrub, and rinses away clean and fast without leave any spots behind...even if you don't dry the car. It works best in my pressure washer but uses allot more than they suggest that it should in this application.I would say that it has a wax in it or something like it, but that it is not a waxing car wash product. It does leave something behind as a waxed surface or something, but it does not last nearly as long as a traditional waxing car wash product. All in all I am not sure that I would buy it again only because the pressure washer uses too much of it, and because it does not seem to have a lasting wax effect like most other modern car wash products that I see.

Works great!

This bug remover works great! Bugs easily come off! This will be great for love bug season! HIGHLY recommended!!!

Cleans most grime

It's not the thickest foaming soap regardless if you use bucket or a foam cannon. I used a foam cannon to apply it and it came out evenly but somewhat on the wetter end. It definitely helped the pressure washer take off more of the pollen and grime that the pressure washer couldn't remove before. The shampoo also helped when I hand wiped the car down, taking off the grime adhered to the clear coat that just pressure washing won't remove. However, it is not the cure all as it won't magically dissolve or lift off all grime. The little black specks and grime that really stick to the car still remains even after I furiously scrub it with a microfiber cloth. It takes a long time of scrubbing to eventually remove the specks.Overall, I give it 4 stars for helping washing the car to a shiny finish. It is not the foamiest or the most magical grime removing soap but it does help.

Car wash

Car wash formula enough to wash plenty of cars seems to leave a shiny look after wash and smells pretty good too easy to use

Cleans great!

I'm happy with this car shampoo. I don't use a foam sprayer - just a regular bucket and sponge. This seems highly concentrated, it took little of the shampoo to make plenty of sudsy wash. It worked well to clean my white car - and made it much easier to remove dirt and Florida lovebugs. My car was shiny and pretty after using this shampoo.

Did remove my wax. Not a bad wash though.

Not bad but it did remove my somewhat fresh coating (when specified it wouldn't). Produced a thin but clingy soap from my foam lance. No real scent, but that doesn't matter. I was happy with the wash, minus the was removal, but save it for washes when that is the goal. Good for that but not between waxes IMO.

Works about as well as other insect removers. Good but not great. Awful spray bottle!

I got this product to use on my Tesla Model Y. The front bumper is a notorious bug catcher. I've been looking for the right product to help keep it in check and have tried several other brands.This one works about as well as any other brand. The after pic I posted is following two rounds spray. The bottle says it is "magic", but definitely not the case. A fair amount of elbow grease went into cleaning the bug gunk off.As for the bottle itself, it leaked all over my hand while I was spraying, which was annoying. I docked a star for the bottle alone.If you are looking for something to get all the bug guts off your bumper, I would say this product is worth a try. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an easy solution out there for this recurring problem.

Great, but requires some effort for results

Get this if you want something better than just water for cleaning a very messy front end filled with bugs after a long road trip. That's when this product is the most useful. Though you definitely have to do a bit of rubbing and scrubbing to get the desired result.

Car looks amazing

Car wash does an excellent job at cleaning off bird poop and those yellow-orange splotches that someone once told me is "bee poop".

Quality car wash!

This is good car wash. Works well for getting bugs, grime and dirt off my SUV!

Not much suds But clean wash and lasting shine.

This car wash shampoo left my cars clean and no water marks. But it doesn't produce much suds. I like to see my car full of suds. With other big brand shampoos the suds are more. I was able to wash 4 cars and only used about 20 percent of the bottle. The bottle has a small top dispenser that is easy to pour into my foam cannon. Doesn't have any scent or strong smell. Gave my cars a good shine.

Removes salt spray from being close to sea.

This car shampoo took 1 month of salt sea spray off with no trouble,did not have to go over it again.Works very well on tires, also taking break dust off easily .I would buy again.

Insects cleaner

Overall does a good job to remove bugs or tar from car it seems to help if you let it sit on the stain first for a bit to help break it down and then use microfiber to clean up only downside was sprayer stopped working after the first uses but product is good

Easily produces suds

Something like this is better than your typical garden variety car wash soap from your auto parts store. My cars don't get very dirty since they are garaged, but I will say this soap seems to work a bit better than the ones I've purchased from stores before. A big reason is just a little of this stuff seems to produce a lot of foamy suds. I don't have a foam gun, but it works great in a bucket situation for easy cleaning of my entire car.
