“The Garage” (Series 2) on Discovery Channel UK - Monday 10pm; repeated Sunday 7pm
We are asked to offer our opinion for “The Garage”
It seems an apt moment to mention this; given that we have very recently launched our new Blog and also that the current Series is now showing on Discovery Channel.
We were surprised (…but also rather flattered!) to receive a call in late Summer from Endemol (the production company behind Channel 4’s phenomenally successful ‘Big Brother’) asking for our thoughts and experience pertaining to a specific problem on an Audi A8. (*thermostat: episode 1; series 2)
A little background information, in case you are unaware of “The Garage” - the programme is described by its producers as “observational documentary”, although it could be said that this description doesn’t really succeed in conveying the many faceted daily trials and tribulations it seeks to document…..
The programme follows a team of British expat mechanics working in a garage in Marbella, Spain and provides a no-holds barred account of their daily work, both in terms of their interaction with customers as well as their work on a whole host of cars.
To anyone working within the automotive field it provides plenty of recognisable situations…..not least the dreaded phrase “whilst you’re there if you could just have a look at….” but also for a Car Owner; well, perhaps it goes some way to enlighten you as to just how that “small problem” might not be quite as minor and inconsequential as you thought it might be to fix !
Worth watching.
Watch it
