This illustrates the very reason I can't watch shows like this - if you don't want to shut up long enough to get your question answered, don't ask it! The "dragons" seem to be looking for two or three word answers rather than explanations. The guy's idea may be a crock, after all, but NO ONE gave him a chance to finish answering a question! Pathetic.
@@hortondlfn1994 - I guess perhaps like those watching, the dragons get frustrated with people who are asking for shed loads of cash, yet fail to come prepared with some realistic figures. I think he wanted to try to talk them into the idea, rather than replying to their queries. Idea sure was a crock, though.
Basically what he's pitching is to identify the problem so that the garage doesn't rip you off. Only problem is is that this guy will rip you off first
I understand exactly what he was trying to do, and he was right when he said that they were all focused on breakdowns that would obviously need a shop. (so are the commenters) There have been many times I've wished I had a mechanic friend to call with questions like "My steering suddenly feels a little tough for some reason... does that need to go to a shop ASAP or can it wait until after payday?" But they ARE right about potential problems. If they say "it can wait as long as you have enough power steering fluid" but then I crash my car because I couldn't complete a turn... I'll have no choice but to take them to court to cover my hospital bills (I'm in the US).
Sure, but many times they diagnose you problems you didn't know existed. Like, you had a problem in your power steering and then they find out, for example, that you have small leaks on your coolant that are deteriorating other parts of the car. That's something that no amount of advice on the phone could give you. Thing is, you phone them if you have a problem. A mechanic can avoid problems whilst fixing some of them.
@@pedrosilvaproductions I think he perfectly identified the problem but was just a step off on his solution. Its extremely hard in the states to find a really good mechanic and I can imagine its a much larger problem that just here as less and less people enter the field. But he would probably have more success fixing cars on his own than being an advisor on car problems.
I like how the dragons look at him as he walks into the room and they thinking ummm what are you wearing and why are you dressed up like a prisoner, dead man walking lol
I mean this happens lmao In the UK we have NHS24 You could call saying "my arm feels numb suddenly" or "i have a fever" and they'll ask questions to try and tell you whether you should: - rush to hospital - wait for a normal docs appointment - just go to a pharmacist for advice These advice lines are supposed to exist for good reason lmao
I think they missed the point entirely. He won’t fix the problem. He will keep the garage honest. Often mechanics choose the for them easy and for the customer expensive solution. Installing new parts instead of fixing the problem. This guy will make sure the customer asks informed questions or he will ask them himself. Imagine having a experienced mechanic with you when visiting a garage to advice you.
@@thelizardking3036 then you missed Deborah's point. There's going to be a confused customer with a guy on the phone, who's never seen the car, telling them it's one thing and a mechanic who's examined the car telling them another. If somebody suspects they are being ripped off or lied to then then should get a second opinion from another mechanic who's seen the car
Haha.. yeah.. actually looks like a serial killer to me.. in the court, still fresh from his last, er, 'meal'!!.. (Maybe he came round, after they'd called him asking for advice on their dodgy car's rattling engine, lol!!!)...

@SavageArfad a guy walks in to a doctor' office ,the doctor says he is very sick, the guy says he wants a second opinion,the doctor says that he's ugly too
"We're going to pay the advisors £7.50 an hour". These need to be trained car mechanics, don't they? I doubt they'd work for £7.50 an hour. A mechanic earns way more than that.
that’s exactly what i was thinking. either that or he was planning on hiring random people and just training them on the job? which somehow doesn’t feel like it’d match up to real mechanics training
He should've stated that he will advice the most affordable and suitable garage for each problem specifically. Also, he would be considered a free help line, so he wouldn't charge people for the advice. Instead, he would arrange a deal with different garages to get income from each client he sends to them. That would be somewhat feasible.
@@RayCray924 There are exceptions. Like one garage can repair your engine but cannot repair electronics. Or change tires, but no AC refill. Or external paint works. Even official car dealer services do not fix everything in one place.
If the money isn't coming from the person with car trouble, then that person becomes the commodity being sold. If he is paid by the garages per customer he sends their way, then his incentive is not to suggest the cheapest or best place, but whatever sleazy place that pays him the most. Any business has as their first priority to keep their customers happy. If you're not paying, you're not the customer. Your satisfaction and happiness will not be the priority.
There is a radio show in the US called "Car Talk" and this is effectively what they do. People call in, explain their car problems, and these guys explain exactly what is wrong and how to fix it. They are incredibly knowledgeable and it's remarkably impressive. So what this guy is pitching is definitely possible if you're talking to somebody with an encyclopedic knowledge of cars, how they fail, and how to fix them. But people who can do that are going to demand WAAAY more than 7.50/hour. So while this is an interesting idea (and a proven concept for a radio program), it's not a viable scaleable business.
@@TimCortesi You said it: Show. Meaning there's revenue being generated mainly from the viewers, not from people calling. Besides, in the US $ 3 per hour is above minimum wage. That's less than a third of £7.50
Oh, they're laughing all right, cause the producers of this show just made more than 150,000 in ad revenue from all us watching this. Watch surveillance capitalism.
There is an online version of the business he was trying to create here, where you can live chat to mechanics. He should have gone down that route, it would have worked better I think, even years ago when this programme was made. By holding multiple online chats with customers he could have avoided employing staff
Yes There is a certain amount of pain involved here I am actually watching these to toughen myself up for a pitch (not to the sharks) You have to be ready, you have to have your numbers together or suffer as some of these people do
hes not a middleman, he gets paid whether or not u go to the garage. its about advice and advocating for the customer. consumer distrust in mechanics is a very real problem.
Customer: "What is the average price of a new clutch?" CarDoctor: "875 pounds, sorry, 874... sorry, that's, not.. ok, so, £7.50 plus labour is.. sorry, you've really shaken me, please hold for my financial director, Howard."
Or perhaps a system to negotiate with the garage over a presumable diagnose of the problem xD And try to safe you money. 'Sorry wait a minute, I will give you the phone, he will explain' Can you imagine how pissed the worker at the garage will get before even looking into your car? xDD
To be fair, the part he said in the beginning about preventing garage scams makes sense. A lot of places who can tell you're not car literate will be happy to charge you for the extra headlight fluid. (Headlight fluid is a joke, but at least in America, they'll tack on a bunch of unnecessary fluid changes and part replacements.)
@@jellafella6957 I was thinking the same and as he’s from that world he’ll know all the scams. I reckon having him on your side whilst at the garage would be reassuring to say the least. You’re paying for his protection in a way...and for that reason...Duncan’s going to take the piss out of you.
Imagine the dialogue between the garage and the 'KarDocktor'... KD: It's got damaged suspension G: No, it's a damaged CV joint KD: Oh, how do you know? G: I can see it KD: Oh, well how much is that? G: £50 KD: Oh, that's good G: Yes, it is isn't it ... GOODBYE!
I think this is the first time a second person has come up to join their presenter and not made it worse. Props to Howard for being respectable and courteous
Moral of the story: “Oh no my cars broken down, I dunno what to do” **rings up this guy** “My cars broken down, what do I do?” “Take it to a garage” “K” 😐
You obviously don't understand his business concept. It's like having a mechanic as a friend who can advise you on repairs and give you a way to check and see if your getting ripped off by shady mechanics. I guess I don't blame you, it was a terrible presentation
@@Doesitreallymstter I mean I kinda get it but it’s pointless putting investment in, it’s useless nowadays and more effort than taking your car to the nearby garage Edit: if it was a website it would make sense, not a phone call
"Hmm, should I take it to a garage or call this premium rate phone line?" "Yeah, you should have taken it straight to a garage, that'll be ten pounds."
@@JohnSmith-yl9en well now were talking requiring the person to start investigating their car engine which is possible with good advise but gets quite messy and doesn't help with getting underneath the car to have look
Definitely would've seen that in Shark Tank, but I feel the Dragons are altogether too polite. To even try to work though a scenario with this scammer was too kind.
He said he hasn’t done the research to be shot down, which means he has done the research. Nobody interrupted because they actually listened to what he said
Thats basic maths, i followed it along quite easily. But you're talking about someone who lives and breathes money, he'd know all sorts of numbers off the top of his head. He says 7.50 an hour, so we start working out how much the average wage is per week - month - year, Peter already knows that number cause he's probably worked with it thousands of times
It's because he does those kind of sums all the time. When you run a business empire like he does, you employ managers to run most of it - you spend your time going over the key financials and making business decisions that take you forward. The ability to quickly process the important maths is a fundamental skill for these entrepreneurs. Through the many years of Dragon's Den they have caught out hundreds of people like this guy who simply don't know their figures. Literally the first thing anyone going on this programme should do is GET YOUR FIGURES STRAIGHT AND MEMORISE THEM. You aren't allowed to take accounting paperwork into the den, so it should be obvious. I never cease to be amazed that people still go in there and then say 'sorry, I don't have those figures in my head.' Numpties.
He responded emotionally because he frame and perception of his whole business plan and livelihood is so incredibly flawed, as well as his figures, and to put it in his own words, he's "shaken". But he did apologise, it's understandable why he'd respond that way, but at least he's being honest and apologised. It seems like he may have been poorly advised.
He clearly has his heart invested in this idea, and to go in for an intense grilling with shrewd businessmen picking his idea apart, it's tough to not get defensive and emotional. I don't think the dragons' pessimistic view is necessarily accurate, a service like this has a shot at catching on IF he can market the benefit very clearly. But it's a tough investment for sure.
@@amaze2n except when he presented his idea during two separate hypothetical conversations he sent them to a mechanic, failing to present what was the point of calling him in the first place, then blaming it on the dragons for using a bad example.
@@Fif0l I agree, he failed to make his case. It seemed like he had some convincing examples but just didn't get them out. That's his mistake, but it's easy to say that when he was getting difficult questions from every angle in a high pressure environment.
There is one problem with Google, you have to know how to ask the right questions. And for a complete layman it is very difficult to make those and than to decide what answer could be the right one.
Even if he was just using Google to help people over the phone, he's still doomed. Somehow he doesn't realize that helplines only work when you only need expertise on one end of the call. Also, he's a rude dick.
Well, that's the fundamental flaw in the business idea. Anybody who needs this kind of advice isn't going to have the tools or materials to repair the car themselves, so their only option is going to be to take it to the garage.
Actually if by _headlights out_ you mean the bulbs aren't lighting up, check the fuse for the headlights, and if that's ok but you don't have a multimeter to check the headlight harness is getting power, then take the bulbs out to check if they're blown, and if they are, go and buy some new ones. ..... much cheaper! If there's still no joy, then either buy that multimeter and check for voltage or go see your nearest friendly auto electrician. Yes I knew ( actually hope ) you were joking; I'm just being pedantic and taking it up a notch.
Vader Whoop that’s some great information, but one issue: how do I check the fuses? What’s a multimeter? What does it look like? How do I find it? Where do I buy a multimeter? Is it really necessary for me to buy a multimeter? Is it safe for me to do this myself? How do I know if the bulb fuse has blown?
Yeah, that would be my main reason for not investing if I was one of the people considering it, because that guy doesn't listen but instead talks over everyone. Even if he had a brilliant idea I'd have a hard time supporting him. Safety often comes from taking counsel from other people because they can point out flaws you don't see. This guy showed no signs of listening to what they were trying to warn him of. You don't always have to act on warnings, but not even considering what's said is dangerous. I'd be worried that someone like him, even if he had a fantastic idea, would run into major problems at some point by not listening to other people.
@@joyfarmergal1222 he really does come off as a guy who works in a garage you know that guy who will interrupt you before you as you ask a question to try and sell you something because he thinks you don't know anything about cars

"We're going to pay the advisors £7.50 an hour".
These need to be trained car mechanics, don't they? I doubt they'd work for £7.50 an hour. A mechanic earns way more than that.
That was my thought too. They'd need alot of experience to diagnose a problem without seeing it also
About £8.50 per hour
not 20years ago when this first aired
that’s exactly what i was thinking. either that or he was planning on hiring random people and just training them on the job? which somehow doesn’t feel like it’d match up to real mechanics training
I'm guessing they'd just need to read off a script like some FAQ list.
He should've stated that he will advice the most affordable and suitable garage for each problem specifically. Also, he would be considered a free help line, so he wouldn't charge people for the advice. Instead, he would arrange a deal with different garages to get income from each client he sends to them. That would be somewhat feasible.
Better idea but don't garages basically do the same thing? Its not like you go to specific garages for specific issues.
@@RayCray924 There are exceptions. Like one garage can repair your engine but cannot repair electronics. Or change tires, but no AC refill. Or external paint works. Even official car dealer services do not fix everything in one place.
@@chukksy Ohh gotchu
If the money isn't coming from the person with car trouble, then that person becomes the commodity being sold.
If he is paid by the garages per customer he sends their way, then his incentive is not to suggest the cheapest or best place, but whatever sleazy place that pays him the most.
Any business has as their first priority to keep their customers happy.
If you're not paying, you're not the customer. Your satisfaction and happiness will not be the priority.

The only people who are willing to work for £7.50 per hour, won’t be car experts.
They'll be Gut Boys
There is a radio show in the US called "Car Talk" and this is effectively what they do. People call in, explain their car problems, and these guys explain exactly what is wrong and how to fix it. They are incredibly knowledgeable and it's remarkably impressive. So what this guy is pitching is definitely possible if you're talking to somebody with an encyclopedic knowledge of cars, how they fail, and how to fix them. But people who can do that are going to demand WAAAY more than 7.50/hour. So while this is an interesting idea (and a proven concept for a radio program), it's not a viable scaleable business.
@@TimCortesi
You said it: Show.
Meaning there's revenue being generated mainly from the viewers, not from people calling.
Besides, in the US $ 3 per hour is above minimum wage. That's less than a third of £7.50
You'd be surprised 😂
Can't remember when this episode came out, but that could've been the Minimum Wage at the time

There is an online version of the business he was trying to create here, where you can live chat to mechanics.

This guy looks like the best Arkham escapee that never was.
So he's designed a system, via a phone call to narrow down what's up with your car so you can go to the garage and say what's up with your car.
Seems even more redundant when put into text.
Or perhaps a system to negotiate with the garage over a presumable diagnose of the problem xD And try to safe you money.
'Sorry wait a minute, I will give you the phone, he will explain'
Can you imagine how pissed the worker at the garage will get before even looking into your car? xDD
To be fair, the part he said in the beginning about preventing garage scams makes sense. A lot of places who can tell you're not car literate will be happy to charge you for the extra headlight fluid. (Headlight fluid is a joke, but at least in America, they'll tack on a bunch of unnecessary fluid changes and part replacements.)
I mean it's basically webmd for cars
@@jellafella6957 I was thinking the same and as he’s from that world he’ll know all the scams. I reckon having him on your side whilst at the garage would be reassuring to say the least. You’re paying for his protection in a way...and for that reason...Duncan’s going to take the piss out of you.

Thats basic maths, i followed it along quite easily.
But you're talking about someone who lives and breathes money, he'd know all sorts of numbers off the top of his head. He says 7.50 an hour, so we start working out how much the average wage is per week - month - year, Peter already knows that number cause he's probably worked with it thousands of times
Jesus, this is cringey. Peter's maths is incredibly impressive.
He can add and multiply in his head ....a forgotten skill?
@@tomgreene6579 Yes indeed, almost like spelling correctly on social media is almost a forgotten skill.
Right? My jaw hit my desk when he suddenly came up with how many calls it would take per month. Impressive!
It's because he does those kind of sums all the time. When you run a business empire like he does, you employ managers to run most of it - you spend your time going over the key financials and making business decisions that take you forward. The ability to quickly process the important maths is a fundamental skill for these entrepreneurs. Through the many years of Dragon's Den they have caught out hundreds of people like this guy who simply don't know their figures. Literally the first thing anyone going on this programme should do is GET YOUR FIGURES STRAIGHT AND MEMORISE THEM. You aren't allowed to take accounting paperwork into the den, so it should be obvious. I never cease to be amazed that people still go in there and then say 'sorry, I don't have those figures in my head.' Numpties.

Interrupting ffs
He responded emotionally because he frame and perception of his whole business plan and livelihood is so incredibly flawed, as well as his figures, and to put it in his own words, he's "shaken". But he did apologise, it's understandable why he'd respond that way, but at least he's being honest and apologised. It seems like he may have been poorly advised.
He clearly has his heart invested in this idea, and to go in for an intense grilling with shrewd businessmen picking his idea apart, it's tough to not get defensive and emotional. I don't think the dragons' pessimistic view is necessarily accurate, a service like this has a shot at catching on IF he can market the benefit very clearly. But it's a tough investment for sure.
@@amaze2n except when he presented his idea during two separate hypothetical conversations he sent them to a mechanic, failing to present what was the point of calling him in the first place, then blaming it on the dragons for using a bad example.
@@Fif0l I agree, he failed to make his case. It seemed like he had some convincing examples but just didn't get them out. That's his mistake, but it's easy to say that when he was getting difficult questions from every angle in a high pressure environment.

Actually if by _headlights out_ you mean the bulbs aren't lighting up, check the fuse for the headlights, and if that's ok but you don't have a multimeter to check the headlight harness is getting power, then take the bulbs out to check if they're blown, and if they are, go and buy some new ones. ..... much cheaper!
