Really good programme.

Have seen the first 2 series, but haven't seen any of the new (3rd) series.

Pity he is a complete **** and i wouldnt leave a Raleigh Grifter for him to fix..

From a technical point of view,they all seem pretty inept,although the big Geordie fella seems a good general tech.Not seen any of the 3rd series as yet,is it the same but with another batch of unlucky recruits??

good program worth a watch.

He does need to look a is hiring skill thou because i wouldn't let some of the so called mechanic's he's hired fix a wheel barrel.In the first series one left a cable loose on a BMW Cab and it melted on the hot exhaust.

Good, cheap tv.

He is a ****, and it's very contrived but still a good watch.

As said above, I wouldn't trust them with a toy car.

doesn't seem bad £35 for a year, or £3.50 per month and you get a 7 day free trial. I'll start my 7 days tomorrow when i have more time free

Good entertainment value, but in the real world, if you owned a £100K + motor like some of the people on there, would you let that bunch of monkeys near it ???

Also, why is it called 'english mobile mechanics' when the owner is scottish ?

It sounds better than "deep fried mars bars mechanics" same as if you opened a garage. "taffs mobile mechanics" sounds awful

"The Garage" make people associated with the vehicle repair trade cringe with despair.

Still, good to watch to see what f**k ups they make, and laugh at their incompetence

You don't want to know what goes on behind closed doors it would make you weep.
