The Car SOS guys reveal the biggest mistake amateur mechanics make 

Yeah me too

They probably dont do the repairs themselves lol

@HiggsField Hi, Having worked in both TV & Classic Car Restoration Myself, I thought I would Explain the problem, Classic Car owners/enthusiasts want to see work being done, (I do too), BUT that process is slow and so time consuming to film, and TV shows like this have running times of about 40 mins, per episode, so if they spent the time on showing the work, it would soon use up the running time, and the makers of the shows want to keep the pace going, as for them they look at it as being "Entertaining"for maximum viewers, rather than "enthusiast" based. With a big team of restorers it takes about 4 months to get a car restored for one episode,and compacting 1,500 hours of work in to 40 mins is hard, I am restoring a classic car on my channel, 1974 Ford Cortina Mk,3, with videos & slide shows of the work, and slide shows get less views than video, so TV company's tend not to use that style, but one video can run over 1 hour and still only show a small section of the work needed to finish a car, so I see the production company's difficulty in trying to make it (fast paced =entertaining) and (In-Depth re the work shown for =Enthusiasts) which is slower. If you ever saw a series called AN MG IS BORN,by (Mark Evans) it was just on (one car), and each episode was a section of work on that car, great if you like all classics, or that marque, but these guys try to cover a wide selection of Marques per series so do not have the time to show everything, frustrating as that is for us car loving enthusiasts, hope that helps you see the problem they face when making shows like this.which have the format they use.

@@Cortinaman63 I remember that. Wasn't he a vet or something originally?

Yea he was. He did a AC Cobra kitcar, Lotus kit kar, E type restoration, Landrover / Range rover and a helicopter

Not just me then

It's so much better than the ones they're doing on a pretend budget. They're not faking the story, they're genuinely doing this for the good of the person

@@mattslip179 yes and i always appreciated they are giving the car instead of selling it. For me personally, I don't like people restoring classics then sell it to highest price to some collector only for those cars to be locked inside a living room. They are the same as car flipper I don't condemn car flipper as people need to make some money. And what they do isn't illegal. But, I just don't like em

The cheese is the whole point of this show.. I must admit I used to find them annoying, but once you get used to them it's great.

They have had the same focus and concept all the way through. When WD went American it was wrecked and Edd's departure finished it.

People hate them? Why? I love them!

Truth

Main reason I don't watch the show anymore... Went from being a fairly interesting car restoration show, to a series of elongated sob stories with all the work done on the cars off-camera....

Too much of that arse Tim.

It costs to much money to have the film crew in the workshop for long hours.

The story will get better if Boris makes it to PM

@@peterbarker6054 Johnson by name and Johnson by nature.

@@peterbarker6054 Well, he is the PM now.

@@peterbarker6054 your wish came true!

Peter Barker Better! That’s if you call 40,000 corona deaths (60,000 + excess deaths) better?

Any was an armed police officer , he might be packing 😂

Cowardly and miserable thing to do, and I’m no Boris fan. Makes me think a lot less of Fuzz.

The best thing that's ever happened to Boris. He mus have pissed Fuzz off, because you don't do that to your mates. @@SvenTviking

Yeah, I had that feeling too when Ed left the show,

Steve Denton and Brewer was the worst negotiator I've ever seen... Apart from the current Tory front bench that is...

Fuzz and Ed and Tim, yes. Not with ant! His policemans voice (they never lose it do they?) and his way of presenting makes it feel like in you're in your least favourite class in school.

Andy Nixon yep.

Couldn't agree more, he's a gob shite.

Absolutely! Loves the sound of his own voice...complete kn*b. I fast forward his bit's of the show and his so-called "deals". You can tell the people who have to do these deals with him just want to tell him to take a hike....but they can't as then their business wouldn't get the TV exposure they want....

He's a complete arse. I wish he would leave the show.

I don't. Tim's great.

They are aired in NatGeo. And aired on rerun at Channel 4

I'm not aware of it being legitimately available in the US. It is available on Nat Geo and Channel 4 in the UK.

@@kyqg2606 maybe that's why I haven't saw it on.

@@M.Boatwright Some of the episodes are really poignant. Watch it if you can.

@@Kraken1000 they seem like they would be funny host.
