More details
The pseudo-fake drama arguments have disappeared. There's a number of "setbacks" that look a little staged but add to the fun factor or keeping a deadline. It gives them the opportunity to do their gripe and complain schticks too that add to the flavor of the show. Good rebuilds and looks like real business turnarounds can happen.
This Is Real: They Are Financially Assisted
Richard, Chris, and Russell get calls from struggling garage owners from across the country to help them turn their shops around. The team selects the shops worthy enough for the feature.
That Is Fake: Cosmetic Changes Are Done Just For The Sake Of The Show
In the early days, owners were loving it as Richard had yet another successful show in his folio and the channel was making bank with viewers getting their dose of saucy content. However, things began to change when viewers started talking.
This Is Real: Equipments Are Provided
It's funny how Rich and the team call all the existing equipment at the garage old and that it doesn't function properly. The early part of every episode is a routine declaration that the setup is old and boring. They then proceed to announce that the show will replace almost everything.
That Is Fake: The Drama
The emotional drama starts right after the owners are announced. The shop owner will almost always be either very depressed or snappy. The first season was a bit too nasty in this area. The team of hosts always had an argument over control or the state of things. By the end of the episode, they would accept everything and things would work out.
