Konterr Brilliant and touching
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
derekdosch I have seen the show a few times an am semi-entertained by it. The thing that irritates me is the lack of car tech knowledge conveyed. There are almost zero explanations of how things work and why they're done. One episode showed a car owner that wanted to beat his brother at the drag strip and the solution was to get him a larger engine. Why was this the only choice? They could have added a turbo/nitrous setup that wouldve cost much less and they would not have had to pull the engine. It makes me think the shop doesn't know what its doing.Due to these kinds of issues is why I gave this show such a low score.
easthambarn I spend too much time watching car related shows on Velocity and other cable channels. This show is charming and entertaining because the mechanics are genuine, decent people who seem to be in this for the love of cars. They are quirky in a very authentic and endearing way. The owner looks tough but is an emotional, sentimental man who obviously cares deeply about his teenage son. There is no manufactured drama, dumb pranks, yelling or fake deadlines. They don't overplay the weight gags and the show does not need any gimmicks. And like Wheeler Dealers, you can learn something about car restoration. My only reservation is sometimes the owner's decisions make me cringe (replacing a numbers matching Boss 302 engine with a crate motor. Eww). I hope this show finds an audience.
BeOneCreativeGirl I really had high hopes for this show given the awesome cars, anticipated mechanical and body work and that fact that it's a local town in Ohio. Ha.First, let's be clear: does that garage even remotely look like it's used for mechanical work? There's no dirt, no air hoses and very few tools out that one would expect to see when working on engines. Second, I wonder if anyone knows who half of that staff really is and what their real occupations are, because I can tell you, it's not auto repair.As for the body work, there's absolutely no way they could be doing the body work because THEY HAVE NO body shop facilities, supplies, paint cans, guns, primers or equipment anywhere in those camera shots. Let's find out who REALLY did that body work shall we? This series is CLEARLY the true definition of just mere ACTING and no actual hands-on skills whatsoever. This couldn't be further from a REALITY SHOW. Shame on you Discovery Channel. You could do better.
brooklands3869 The show over all is entertaining, but there is absolutely nothing about the show that could be considered reality. Nothing against the guys I'm sure they didn't write the script.Show takes place in Ohio, in Tommie's garage, located in a residential subdivision, with no grease, no cars in the parking area and no reasonable evidence that this garage has ever been used as a repair facility. The shows projects are a complete removal of anything reassembling reality. Where can you buy a factory original black on black 68 Mustang GT for 8k? Please tell me I'm on my way with a pocket full of money. One shows depicts a Corvette restoration that required an engine rebuild. The show claims that the push rods were to short and the whole engine had to be removed.......don't bring your car to this shop!Although nothing about this show is in the realm of reality, down the ridiculous technical issues the guys in counter, somehow I continue to watch the show. The Discovery Channel slogan the number 1 non fictional media company........really?As one of my all time favorite channels I find myself rarely watching, I truly miss what I considered great programming. This is not an attempt to offend the guys in the shop, it's just what I have come to expect from Discoveries terrible programming.
