    There should be more videos of stories like this, that restore your faith in humanity instead of doom and gloom every 5 minutes. Props to you, the garage and it's apprentice for righting the wrongs committed. Bloody good show!

    Absolutely vile conduct by those garages, anyone who takes advantage of an elderly person deserves to be locked up. My blood was boiling reading the intro text. Good on you mate for cleaning this for free!

    You're a good person, Gary. Wonderful detailer too! So the catalytic converter just "disappeared?" Thieves are removing those here in the States. Thanks to you and the third garage for helping this man out pro bono, unlike the first two garages who just took advantage of him.

    The first 2 garages should be ashamed of them selves! Fair play to garage 3 and the apprentice for sorting the mess out, and good for you and well done cleaning all that mess and mold up for free. Good for you. I would also go back to the 80s to buy myself an early Cavalier SRI or a nice CD model 😁

Thank you for all you do! Your videos just keep getting better. As for your question, i would have loved to be around the automotive world in the 60's.

    You did a good thing here, really good. This one hit different, as one of my cars is the same (same colour, spec, everything) and it sucked to imagine that happening to it. And I'm young and fighty! The poor old fella who was given the runaround didn't deserve it. Fair play to everyone involved. Proper feel good video.

    Man, what can the man also do legally against the garage that did a disaster on his car? Thanks for helping out the gentleman because yes we are all being scammed by garages which'll do a disaster on our vehicles when we might be in our worst situation too.
    Shout out to the mechanic apprentice (would like to know the name as well as from the shop) who did an exceptional job and was able to figure out what the vehicle had and fixed it! Clearly the first garage was scamming the gentleman.

    So your not just a great detailer but a saint too. What a nice gesture to take care of this older man’s car. I actually take care of my next door neighbors car who is a 77-78 single widow. Knowing I’d be washing it regularly with my cars on occasion, I even coated it to make it easy 😏. Loved her husband , he was a fun guy, still miss him. Oh, on a occasion she wants to get me something, like a 6 pack of Mikes hard lemonade , she knows I like it once in awhile. Very Satisfying all the same.
    Remarkable turnaround, or better rescue! Aloha from Maui.

Love watching your video's, I used to keep my cars tip top but a tear in a shoulder muscle has set me back a long way, but I love watching your work on the cars. But wow!! What a result on this car!!

    Hats off to you, the old gentleman will be delighted with the car.
    Motoring era, the 1970s. When I was a small boy in the early 1980s, I was fascinated by the older cars still in the roads or parked up in driveways. The kind of cars you might think of as old bangers back then. I especially liked the old French and Italian cars, Simca 1100s, Renault 12s and 16s, Fiat 131s and Citroen GSAs. Yes, I'm probably strange!
