Not to mention the "work" performed on the cars was shady at best. After watching this show I'd never buy a car from an individually owned used car dealer. Just polished turds.
Yeah...after a while, it lacked something to look forward to. The only good part eventually was the different makes, models and years of the vehicles. If they were garbage, I changed the channel. Also, too much ego!
I liked Dallas CardSharks. Would not be surprised if many more of these car shows were guilty of some of the same tactics u discuss in this video. Safety on these car repair shows u would think might be an issue. The Roadkill show is interesting to see mechanics walking around in sandals and or flip flops while working on heavy vehicles in car repair facilties. Also noticed mechanics on other shows with long beards working on and underneath the hoods of cars in shops where they film. Wonder what OSHA would say. Looks very dangerous to say the least.
FantomWorks is the Only no BS show. Too bad Dan Short decided to end it. Mr.Short spent 24 years in Special Forces Airborne . He is the Real Deal!! As a disabled Vietnam era veteran I can appreciate a great American!!
@mmblue4x Well you have your opinion and I have mine.I was in the service and I know how hard and tough it is to earn a Green Beret. They do not just give you a beret. Any soldier that wears that on his head is one tough SOB!
in 2012 i bought a 1991 ZR1 corvette from cast member frank who owned earth motors it had 17000 miles on it i paid 24000 dollars i live in boise idaho i paid 1000 dollars to have it shipped 8 days later no corvette talked to frank he said that he used a different transport company than he usually used 4 days later the shipper shows up with the corvette does not bring it to my house tells me to meet them at a shopping center when i get there a 17 year old kid drives up in my car he tells me his boss told him to drop it off to me there was small oil droplets all over the paint car also had 400 more miles on the odometer than when i bought it they drove through boise to eastern oregon and joy rided for 400 miles with my corvette i lost my mind didnt want the car frank said take the vet and he would give me 2000 dollars refund had the vet checked out at local corvette shop they said the vet was in excellent shape so i kept it wild story
I knew it was fake when they were trying to sell that 2005 Red Mercedes SL500 for $20,000 . It wasn't even an AMG. I actually could have bought a very low mileage one of 55k miles on it for 13k from a reputable new car/used car dealership, with a clean title, not a rebuilt title, which considering that Mercedes on the show was missing the front end and had blown airbags.
All these TV car reality shows were much the same. They never disclosed the mileage of a car or what if any service history, what they actually paid for a car and the real cost of replacement parts. As for the cost in labour none of them every mention this which is always the greatest cost in any rebuild. The truth is there was no way any of them could show a genuine profit even if they were to find a sucker to buy them at the inflated prices.
Horrendous show, now being shown on UK television... Martha would send a car for a full respray and it would cost her $300 - the paint and solvent would cost at least that. Ash was vile - one of the creepiest characters I've ever seen on any show - real sex offender vibe. All he ever wanted to do was bid everyone up and cost them money. I've worked in the motor trade - IRL, someone would have taken him outside and had a word... And offered him a box to put his teeth in when he found them. As for the astronomical values they put on their cars after they'd tarted them up - total fiction..!
How did these guys not get arrested for cutting corners... we own a body shop in the dfw area and i can point out so many illegal things they did on this show. They made dallas fort worth look like a metroplex of criminals and scam artists... this show was stupid, the mechanics were dangerous, and the body work was very very done badly..
Never liked this one either... GOODBYE! I have advoided conflict, especially in the Auto industry! It's a problematic business to begin with. I love and keep a relaxed atmosphere in the shop, this yields more productivity!!!
I'd never buy a car from any of them other than Tommy. All the other ones do the absolute minimum to get the cars sold. Martha puts $300 complete paint jobs on her car and the rest use bailing wire and duct tape. I picture all these cars breaking down as soon as they pull out of their car lots. However, I did find the show entertaining.
If they could do a show entirely made with the truth and show the whole process from buying to actually selling after restoration, it would be what I think people would like to see without all the B S
Kinda like what we come here to RUclips for. Like Vice Grip Garage. Derek would make a great host and the right director could pick the right parts to show. Basically one car per episode from finding it to purchasing it, fixing it, then selling or keeping it. Plus driving it home after buying it not towing it.

After watching 5 minutes of the show I googled 'Dallas car sharks fake' and brought me here...
Don’t care how much they badmouth this show …I really liked it..Wish they’d update it and bring it back
They should redo this show with no made up bs. True reality. No writers.
I love the season when it was broadcasted on "Discovery Turbo" in 2013. Also their trailer brought nostalgia
I always liked Martha she was cool
She was my Favorite… 🥰🥰🥰
@@thomasa.tucker2389 is she still with us?
@@robertvance1873 I Really Hope So

Talk about the Season 1 Of "Kings Of Crash & Last Car Standing" Respectively
Barrett-Jackson auction is now on History not MotorTrend. What happened?
Money
The majority of the auction was on FYI chl. Accidentally found it while channel surfing. What a waste to hide it there.

I'm a new subscriber likes the video keep them going.. peace from Massachusetts.
I forgot I used to watch that show Scam tv

Well after this I can put this to rest...I personally really liked the show
The first fraud is the easiest.
These vids are always 💯

I live right up the road from Wheels thru Time.
I've been a car guy all of my life. I watched this show for a while and found it to be pure BS. Glad it's gone.
B.S LIKE YOUR NAME???????
How did these guys not get arrested for cutting corners... we own a body shop in the dfw area and i can point out so many illegal things they did on this show. They made dallas fort worth look like a metroplex of criminals and scam artists... this show was stupid, the mechanics were dangerous, and the body work was very very done badly..
Only four people bidding oncars
Dallas Junk Sharks.....
You can talk about "Kings Of Crash,Last Car Standing & Fat N Furious Rolling* Shows.
Never liked this one either...

some of the Matha cars are still sitting in the back lot!!!

Media telling the truth? Bwaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaha
Look, we all know a lot of this is staged. Storage Wars does the same. I still found it entertaining.
People realized it had nothing to do with cars and sharks😆
Shonky at best and an insult to real rev heads and builders.
BUY A USED CAR LATELY----WHAT DID YOU BUY_REALLY
I liked this show
