Great chemistry
rdbosse1 October 2018
It's refreshing to see 'reality tv' be fully entertaining without the need for unnessesary drama or fighting umongst cast members.

Season 2 needs to happen!

Bummed there isn't more on the work done
coadycline18 September 2018
Love the cast! The cars are great! But unfortunately you don't get to see what was really put into the cars ;(

There are so many unique Gotham custom details put into the cars that you don't get to see on the show. Would love to see more of the work and thought that went into them.

Great show but the quality....
mattdonohue-893286 August 2021
I'm not sure if the people on the show just suck at fiberglass work and are lazy on certain things but damn. The body work on the concept bike is so raggedy and rough on all the edges, no smooth transitions. The international had bed liner that wasn't sprayed clean, the f1 had a rusty underside of the hood. For the money people pay it's insane that they don't have better finishes.

Every episode leaves you wanting more.
alfieali-6638018 September 2018
Just finished watching binge watching the series. Believe it or not, I started thinking if there will be a season 2 at the end of the 2nd episode. The crew and the show as a whole are simply awesome. I'm already subscribed to Netflix but if I wasn't, I would probably subscribe just so that I could watch this show. Please let there be a season 2.

You're Simply The Best! Better Than All The Rest.
ucezero17 September 2018
Great series, I watched the whole thing in less than a day and enjoyed it all with my kids who are only ages 9 & 10. My youngest who likes watching doco's says that Gotham Garage is far better and superior to West Coast Customs & I couldnt agree more. Would you please make a season 2! That Futura & hot wheels car was the best thing I've seen since a long time. Cheers guys keep up the good work y'all. 😎👍

Great cars, great workers & great relationships! Wish I had found this show later on & with 3 seasons or more because I could binge watch this for days if not weeks.

Well done Net Flix a new fun & interesting car programme,season 2 please.
adramper15 September 2018
I absolutely believe it is long overdue that Net Flix did put a car show on & this is a very good choice. Admittedly I am on episode 5 but am already finding the choice of cars to do customisation to be very interesting with a 64 Thunderbird cross between space ship & bat car,the VW & the 1st & only time I have seen truck grey in color I like. Just starting out but with more shows this garage like Gas M could really make a hit in the higher end American cars but still with the $500 to $1,000 start cars for trading. Like the crew mix & was not surprised when I found the page for this show the singular pic is of Constance Nunes the definate winner of gorgeous real mechanic. Season 2 please & knock all the Korean,Chinese tv show garbage on the head.

Nothing new or groundbreaking here but still fun to watch!
dodgetrman15 September 2018
Its always cool to see junkers turned into gold! These guys are turning out some bada$$ rides! The chemistry of the crew is good they really seem to like each other. Constance can turn a wrench just as well as any other grease monkey she's not just a pretty face, she is a solid 10 though!

Sloppy workmanship
kfitts-093975 August 2021
I enjoy the show but on every car I see them do, there are workmanship issues. The canopies don't fit tightly on the 2 cars they built that have them. Almost every car I see them turn out, their engine compartments aren't finished and actually dirty, I've seen blemishes on finished paint or just poor paint in general, the Delahay is really sloppy; poor paint, front fender overlapping the rear, the rubber mat covering the running board fits poorly and had a big wrinkle in it, lots of body fitment issues...etc, etc. I could go on and on.

Also, the relationship between the boss and Shawn feels uncomfortable. I guess we're supposed to think he's joking around with Shawn but he's always serious when he says derogatory things to him and there is NEVER any relief from it. You would never know he's joking. It truly seems like he doesn't like Shawn. It's uncomfortable and personally I don't like it. So as much as I like unique build shows, this one has things I can't overlook.

I do like that the attractive woman they chose to cast (Constance) actually has a legitimate background and skill set. Congratulations for that.

A refreshing car show...finally!
kinda_psycho1 October 2018
I love car shows. All the work done in the garage so far is amazing (Fleetside!). It's nice to see a garage that doesn't come up with ridiculous ideas or cars/trucks that really serve no function other than being just a conversation piece. Really hoping there will be a season 2, get on it Netflix!

Poor craftsmanship
kzkybx11 August 2021
This is a great show to watch with the family. We had a great time trying to pick all the failures in execution, the shoddy work and the creative editing to try to hide as much as possible.

Camera man deserves a raise.
ChzPuffs16 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Build quality of the cars is beyond a joke lol. 1/16" panel gap on one side, 3/4" on the other side.

Big ideas followed by really poor execution. I suspect most of the blame falls on the "owner" of Gotham Garage (it's all so scripted that I don't even know if expressionless bandana guy really is the owner).

Constance and Tony actually seem like they know how to work on cars though. Caveman kind of just acts like a kid with power tools so I can't comment on his work as I don't really pay much attention to it lol.

The money/ sales guy is clearly just an actor collecting a paycheque from Netflix.

The ridiculous trade scenerios are fake. The yellow GT3 racing the Barracuda in S5E1 was fake. GT3 was pulling away so hard that there's no way a 100 shot of nitrous would make up that difference. Cut to a montage of the nitrous button being pressed followed by the Barracuda magically crossing the finish line first. Then Barracuda driver saying he got the jump on the Porsche. Looool.

Anyways, giving it 3 stars. 2 for the camera man, 1 for Tony somehow being able to maintain eye contact with Constance when they're talking. You're a stronger man than I ever will be Tony.

This was a pretty engaging show
slayeroffrogs19 September 2018
I have a few queries though -

Is this a actual business?

Is Constance an actual worker or there to add eye candy?

I feel there time frames are not believable at all ?

Great show!!

Wish there were more episodes. Like the concept of buying cheap, the trading and the payout. All of the builders mesh.

Definitely my favorite car show to date.
kids-4349220 September 2018
I've watched a lot of car shows and this one is definitely above the pack. The crew is engaging while managing to avoid the over dramatization found in most reality shows. You can tell that they really enjoy working with each other. Having Constance on this show is definitely a plus, but I have to give props to Sean and Caveman for giving the show a broader audience appeal. Even my friends who don't particularly like car shows found their interactions with the rest of the crew entertaining and a welcome pause in between "car talk".

Decent
anger-716 September 2018
One more car show, more cozy and friendly than West Coast Customs. The people feel more honest and their behavior is sincere, plus you dont get to have to stand the annoying personality and cocky behaviour of the WCC Ceo just to see a few good rides.

Cars shown are decent, but would definately appreciate more time showing the craftmanship and less time explaining the business model over and over again.

Easy watch overall.

Entertaining but wait what?!
satyameva_jayate22 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The show is entertaining but only a gullible fool with no taste would buy the cars they build for the said prices. Bad craftsmanship, bad designs (some of them really cringeworthy), bad selection of paint and the list goes on. And man did they turn that beautiful Hayabusa into a horrendous machine!

Binge worthy!
kellrn-7411920 September 2018
My husband and I seldom find a series we can watch together and both of us enjoy it. This show kept both of us wanting to see the rest! The crew's interaction with each other was entertaining and all of their skills in the builds were very impressive!

Simply...amazing
bryangarciayanes12 October 2018
I love cars, petrolhead since always and there's no other series that hooked me from the first minute to the end like this one. Waiting for a 1000 more episodes. Love it.
