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.

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.

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.

I honestly didn't know what to expect out of this show when i first saw the previews. I thought it would just be a mere copy of other top shows. Surprisingly, this show seemed to do its own thing and have its own comedic value. The cast seemed to complement each other perfectly and if people give this show a chance i think it can do very well. This show isn't all about humor or all about cars, they have blended both to the point where it makes you want to continue watching. I would equate this show to Pawn Stars in the sense of the comedic value. The question is whether or not they will continue to deliver on that comedy. Overall, if this show heads in the direction it took after the first episode, its on its way to becoming one of next top shows on television.
