We get an interesting reality program where we also meet Saul Valencia thanks to Netflix’s “Resurrected Rides,” which introduces us to a whole new team of automotive professionals willing to go above and beyond to make customers feel good about their automobiles. We’ve seen this idea before with MTV’s “Pimp My Ride,” but that’s because the producers of this production are the same ones; the host and the experts are new.
Read all that we know about Saul as we discuss his age, career, married life, and more in this article below.
Saul Valencia On Netflix’s Resurrected Rides
Saul Valencia, who runs a family business with his brother Oscar, also his co-star, is the star of Netflix’s Resurrected Rides. He and his brother are in charge of a majority of the interior and bodywork, taking each project to a whole new level.
Resurrected Rides, hosted by comedian Chris Redd, follows a group of auto gurus as they turn nearly-dead vehicles into cutting-edge fantasy vehicles for patrons. The team completes these tasks in 10 days or fewer, drawing comparisons to the popular reality show Pimp My Ride from the mid-2000s. They document every step of the complex car restoration process.

Saul Valencia is a builder at SOS Customz. He builds everything from classic JDM to American muscle cars and all in between. His grandfather was a big influence in his life as he grew up without a father and he and his brother was raised by his mother Sandra Valencia.
In Mexico, where he grew up, his grandfather was into cars. His grandpa would work on his car and he enjoyed tuning up his rides. Saul would always go to help his grandpa when he was a kid. He started doing that when he was 6 or seven years old. He would be on a stand-by to give his grandpa tools which is where he learned about tools.
It drove him to have a passion to get into loving the car and car scene. When his mother moved to El Centro with his three siblings (a brother Oscar, and two sisters Sarah and Sandra) when Saul was 12 to give them a better life. His grandpa passed away after having pneumonia.

Saul then got a job as a busboy at Redlobsters. But, his neighbors put him on street races and invited him over. He honed his skills in mechanics and when his brother stepped in he took on the job working on the body of cars.
After high school, he went to San Francisco State and he enrolled in engineering classes. But, he had to do maths and he got interested in something else. His mom then shared with him about an opportunity to work in Upholstery shop. Saul switched his major to business administration and they moved to Oceanside, California.
They named their family business SOS Upholstery. His brother joined the business after he finished high school and they started growing the business little by little.
