In fact, such shows are so popular that they now attract high-profile celebrities, with many of them even hosting, in some cases. However, it's not all glitz and glamour and many of these TV programs detail some exceptionally talented individuals and their hard work, especially with regards to car and motorcycle transportation shows. These programs not only offer audiences a glimpse into the real lives of mechanics across the globe but also some insight into what exactly goes on beneath the hood, along with the intricate details of motor vehicle and design.
Yes, transportation shows have most certainly come a long way and are now somewhat taking over the world. In fact, there are at least 20 automobile-themed car and motorcycle programs on Netflix. However, not all of them are good. Top Gear has had its fair share of bad press over the years, including wayward presenters, silly storylines, and out-of-touch commentary.
However, whatever the case, you can always trust them when it comes to cars. That's right, a few years ago, Top Gear was the best show on television—at least for petrolheads—with the programme regularly raking in millions of viewers across the globe. Sadly, the antics of the three presenters, Jeremey Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, have somewhat distracted real car fans from the actual car stuff but the reviews still manage to stay on point. Plus, the revamped show is just as good, with some viewers even preferring it to the old one.
West Coast Customs WCC is one of the most famous car garages for vehicle upgrades in the world and is also highly regarded as one of the best. Yes, the show is extremely popular and mostly known for their extreme car and motorcycle modifications, as well as some minor amateur dramatics from the staff—this is a reality TV show after all.
However, despite the cringe-worthy storylines, the show delivers some exceptional engineering work, with a number of the automobiles and motorcycles going on to win awards for outstanding mechanical design. Highway Thru Hell is not your average reality TV show, especially with regards to its content. That's right, the show hails from the wonderful lands of Canada and focuses on the rescue service located along the Coquihalla Highway, a long mile stretch of road that connects Vancouver and the Rockies.
Overall, the show is exceptionally popular, with the safety team particularly praised for their bravery and courage. In fact, Highway Thru Hell is so successful that it is now in its seventh season, with more seasons most definitely to come in the very near future. Monster Garage first aired in and ran for a lengthy five seasons, finally ending in Each episode saw a team of five people with some mechanical and engineering knowledge attempt to turn a regular-sized vehicle into a monster machine, hence the name Monster Garage.
The show was extremely successful, with host Jesse James a large part of its success. That's right, James, who claims to be the great-great-grandson of the notorious outlaw, is the founder of the custom chopper garage, West Coast Choppers.
James is also well-known among the petrolhead community and is not only highly regarded but also exceptionally respected as an engineer. Netflix has a number of exciting and interesting car-themed television shows, from restoration to racing vehicles. However, now and again, Netflix will somehow manage to find the not-so-obvious television programs, the ones that are seemingly under the radar but dynamite to watch.
That's right, Dirt Every Day is one these shows and somehow manages to generate only a small amount of viewers. Despite the low ratings, the show ios exceptionally entertaining, mostly due to its focus on the 4x4 lifestyle.
From off-roading tips and advice to tech upgrades and adventures in a variety of trucks, Dirt Every Day is one of the coolest TV shows to date. Great bunch of guys, who really know their stuff.

Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Trivia Fuzz Townsend is not only a master mechanic and a bus enthusiast, he also plays drums for various bands. User reviews 12 Review. Top review. A honest car restoration show. It's funny how a car show revolving around restoring cars for less fortunate people has less drama than its American counterparts. From the many 'restoration' TV shows out there, and yes I put that in quotes since the majority barely touch the technical aspect, Car SOS feels like a true car show without any dumb exaggeration.
The chemistry between the host Tim Shaw and mechanic Fuzz Townshend feels natural and authentic and it's nice to see their passion about various types of cars which feels genuine as well.
Although mostly focused on the story around the car's owner, the show does provide plenty of insight into what's involved in a full-on car restoration.
