The host of the popular Wheeler Dealers TV series has posted a video on X (formerly Twitter) to point out that ”we’re not a service garage”.
Mike Brewer, who has hosted the show for 21 years, says he has explained this “over and over again”.
This comes as fans of the show had questioned how much profit he had made.
“If I buy a car for five grand, spend four grand on it, and sell it for ten, I made a grand profit. It’s not hard to work it out.
“Yes, in the real world, it would cost more for labour cost, but we’re not a service garage. We’re just two guys, fixing up cars, and we’re happy to take a grand profit.”
Mike added that a new series of Wheeler Dealers is coming soon.
