Restoring and flipping cars can be a lucrative business for firms that do it. One such company is Gotham Garage, which is at the center of this series. Owner Mark Towle leads a colorful crew, which overhauls an eclectic collection of cars with the goal of trading their way up to a showstopper that can be sold for big bucks. As the title "Car Masters: Rust to Riches" suggests, Towle and his crew are hoping they can use their sweat equity and sheer car genius to turn their rusty wrecks into six-figure paydays.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal 12/15/2023
There is much that remains fascinating and visceral about witnessing the transformation of an abandoned heap into a streamlined, candy-colored hot rod. Or whatever. Go to Full Review
Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 02/07/2024
Earlier seasons of the series spend more time showing the actual retrofit process, while later episodes reveal more about the trades, and the process by which a profit is made with every retrofit. Go to Full Review

Peter b 01/10/2024 They blow alot of smoke saying how good they are only to produce poor quality finishing and very run of the mill design See more James K 12/30/2023 This is an odd but interesting show. The car shop does not do great quality work. You can see orange peel & bodywork problems in the paint through the camera and the styling choices are odd. They'll still endeavor to sell a custom Ferarri they put together in 2 weeks for $200k and get a decent offer on it. So it's interesting and sometimes painful to watch. I cringe watching them them paint "high end" custom cars in a workshop like I'd do on a cheap project as a hobbyist instead of a paint booth like even a low end body shop would do. So it's a bit surreal to watch but interesting. I'm always a bit surprised to see another season but I end up watching it. If you want to see high end craftsmanship & design and learn, check out "Bitchin Rides" on Motortrend TV. If you want to learn skills check out Youtube - Lakeside Autobody, Fitzees Fabrication and 100 others channels. See more Ryan W 12/18/2023 Highly fake show, plus the only guys/gal/shop who really know how to butcher a decent looking car they make some horrible looking machines. How it has lasted 5 seasons I don't know. See more Peter B 12/18/2023 Stretches the 'reality' genre beyond the elastic limits - almost everything, with the possible exception of Constance's ever present cleavage, is obviously fake. A fastidious buyer who demands the highest quality fails to notice the false nose on the 69 Charger is bent on the leading edge of the left wing, the window rubbers in two miss-aligned sections, the lack of headlights. And he doesn't even lift the hood. The false price negotiations are cringe worthy too. Petrol-heads deserve better than this. See more Read all reviews
