In this video I clean a disgusting mouldy focus c max belonging to a pensioner who was sadly ripped off by two garages meant to repair the car before a descent garage took over and mended it properly after a full year!

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!
This guy ( ua-cam.com/users/BladeMateLawnCare ) does pro-bono yard work for elderly people quite often.
Al Blades does the same in Florida
Love this!!! What a shame these garages treated the man so badly. Hopefully he's okay!
The 60's for me and the British car industry.
We did have some amazing cars 😜
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!
Poor old fella…messed about by two garages and helped out royalty by the apprentice at the third garage.
You’ve done a wonderful thing cleaning his car the way you have. A true gentleman you are. 👍
I am not crying, YOU are crying.
Shoutout to the Apprentice. Not scared to jump right into the mess.
Well done, Gentlemen.
Amazing job, Gary. It's great to see one helping another, especially in the world where we live today. Bravo.
You’re a top bloke young Gary, that was a really nice thing you and the final garage have done, the world is messed up enough without vultures preying on the vulnerable.
It is fantastic that you helped out this senior. Those garages that scammed him should be reported and put out of business!
This could have been anyone's grandad, Dad, Uncle, Brother, Neighbour, etc.
Excellent job as always!
Thank you very much 😊
@@autoshineblackpool You're welcome!
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 need naming and shaming nothing like bad workmanship to kill your business as for the 3rd they need massive praise for doing what they did
80's for sure! Great vid cheers mate
Well done chap, nice to see there are decent people that are willing to help others out who have been treated badly and unfairly. 👍👍
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 😁
Few things make me as happy as i am when i see there is a new video from Gary. The service you have provided this elderly gentleman is an amazing example of how we all should treat one another. 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.
Good to see you do that fella. Truly decent of you
Unlike the garages who couldn't be bothered with the old fellas car. Fair play to the apprentice who fixed it up too. There is still some decent people about. Keep up the good work
Holy cow. How is that even possible? Thank god there are people like the last mechanic guy and you. This is such a great christmas gift for him. Amazing!
nice job , i bet the old guy was absolutely shocked , good to hear that some of us actually do care , good on you and the garage that helped him
I doff my cap to you Gary, you've a heart and have compassion, unlike the rogues who literally stole money from a poor old guy who's vulnerable, exceptional work from you and the garage that have put right a terrible wrong.👍👏
Amazing work as always mate! Good on you for chipping in to flip the man’s situation around! The world needs more people like you! 👍🏼
Glad this man's getting his car back. Can't imagine depriving someone vulnerable of their car, and during a pandemic of all times.
A big hug and respect Gary. You are one wonderful person.
You're a farking legend mate for helping out the old fella. Respect
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.
What you did for this man absolutely warms my heart. Fabulous job as always. Keep up the great videos!
What a transformation Gary! When I think of the old man owner, I think of my elderly dad and how devastated I’d be if it happened to him. Bravo to the third garage and the apprentice and to yourself for turning it around 👏👏👏👏
You and the third garage both deserve medals, what heroes and the apprentice, a real pat on the back for getting that car up and running again. Well done to you all and I am so pleased that you guys have done this for the man. You should name and shame the other garages.
Great video on an absolutely minging car. Heart warming to hear of guys like yourself and the garage apprentice who worked for nothing to get this chap's Focus useable again. Always nice to see Moose getting in on the act as well.
You helped this man with his car without ever meeting him, not many like you bud 👍
You are a proper gentleman , keep up the great work.
Well done! That's really good work for free.

Keep up the good work and great videos.
Well Gary.....
If there is anyone above..... We should thank him for people like yourself & the third garage.
Great work mate.
Top marks to u & the third garage.
As for the other previous 2 garages, may that GO BUST!!!!
Stay lucky. Stay safe. Stay healthy.

The previous garages should be ashamed of themselves!! Thank you so much for giving this man a clean car. I hope he’ll be okay from now on. You’re right, one day we’ll be old and grey hoping another will have mercy on us.
Good on you Gary and awesome job by the 3rd Garage and especially the apprentice. People wonder why the motor trade gets such a bad rap but I hopefully people like you and the 3rd garage reap the benefits of paying it forward. As you say Gary, that could be one of us one day!
You've done a fantastic job on this car and I am sure the owner will be delighted to get it back after all the upset he has gone through. Hope you survived the storm OK !
The most amazing thing isn't how clean the car is now, but the fact that both you and the garage did help this gentleman in getting back his pride n joy with minimal impact to him. Well done!
what a disgrace that he was treated that way. Thank you and the last shop for making it right. Nothing gets me madder than people taking advantage of the elderly. As you say, that will be us at some point.
You've got a heart of gold mate, good on you for doing this for free 👍
I am not ashamed to say this story brought a tear to my eye. My family used to run a garage and its beyond me why some garages act this way, but I take my hat off to you, the garage and the apprentice for restoring my faith in the human race ! Happy Xmas to you and all you're subscribers
What a heart wrenching story, well done to everyone involved in helping out this elderly gentleman, human kindness at its best❤️.
This story about the old man and how the different shops took full advantage of an 80 year old man brought tears to my eyes. Bless you Gary for doing this man a favor and cleaning up his car. You're the best my friend!!!!!!
I would go back to 2000s, experience all the great sports cars from that era that I loved as a child. And also see my current car (Opel Omega) roll out of the showroom in 2002. And then time would pass like normal and I would relieve the 2020s in my 40s and I think it would be the perfect time for them. I'd buy myself a Porsche Taycan (Turbo) (S) (by then I might be able to afford one new) and experience electrification at a much more sober and saner age than my crazy, feeling-lost-20's.
Top Man! great that you found time to help
2nd
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.
Wow what a transformation! I’ve been in the motor trade for over 30 years and can honestly say you’re the most thorough and best valeter I’ve ever seen, and a top bloke to boot.
I’d go with the 1980’s too 👍🏼
Wow what a story. Poor old guy. Well done to you and the good garage that fixed the car for him. You truely are one of the worlds great guys!
Top Man 🤘
Top job as usual! Respect for helping the old man! Well done!
Well done to you and the apprentice for helping the old gentleman out
What an absolutely beautiful and kind gesture. Very heart warming!
Always thought you were an honest guy Scottie, now your an honest guy with a big heart, great to hear there are still people around like you and young mechanic who fixed the engine problems.
Firstly a brilliant act of kindness Gary and secondly what a turnaround on the vehicle, fair play. You're one of the good guys :-)
What a lovely gesture to clean the guys car for him after the motor trade let him down so much. What great content a "meet n greet" with the guy who saved it mechanically, and the owner with you..... Hope your car was safe in the storm & you & Moose are both safe & well. 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!! Well done!!!
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.
Thank you for watching 🙂
What a transformation! Great that you’ve all pitched in to help the chap who was completely shafted ! Well done to all involved.
How very nice of you, hats off to you and the 3rd garage….the world needs more people like this 🙏
Top Job mate well worth the effort 👏
850 t5 👍for me love the 90 touring car
I can't believe how badly the customer was treated. But the final garage, their apprentice and your good self have done a fantastic job bringing the car back to life. Between you, you have shown the best side of human nature. I take my hat off to you both. IDK how old that C Max is, but it looks a new motor now.
Fantastic work and a very charitable action on your part and also the garage that has finally sorted it out for the gent.
great to see you getting some decent sponsors to help your channel grow :)
Fantastic job. Glad you can help that gentleman. Wonderful act of kindness for a total stranger. Kudos to you sir.
Fantastic transformation and what a great gesture as well.
Good Bless you and your Family Bro...
Helping this old man Out...
Love your content...
Many many greets from Germany
✌
Ain’t enough people in this world that would put profit aside to put something right for a deserving old person! Absolutely awesome work buddy!
Well done the garages should be named and shamed and reported to the trading standards for failing to carry out the work that he had paid them for
thank you and the garage for your generously time and help for helping the elderly gentleman
Absolutely spectacular video, total respect to you and the last garage for getting the old guy back on the road. 👍 Well Done!
Done a brilliant job and was really kind of you to do this 👍❤️
Good on yo Gaz for doing this detail. Congrats on the new sponsor, you deserve a lot more Sponsors and Subs compared to that "other detailing channel"
I'm sure this gentleman was just happy to get his car back! Thank you and shop #3 for finally making it right! Hope you fared well through the storms! 🐕
Cracking job that Pal and what a great thing to do after he’d been treated so badly. Awesome music as you’re power washing the seats too 🙌🏼
Brilliant Gary - your kindness overcomes the nastiness of others - have a great Christmas if this is the last one.
Good on you (wear a respirator more when working with steam mate)
Great job, great kindness for old chap.
Top work there Gary. Full credit to you for doing that job for free so that the elderly gentleman will be able to use his car. It's very sad other people namely the first two garages don't have your decency, honesty and work ethic. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
You're a top bloke Gary, very kind to do this job for free and what a transformation! BTW though COVID is a virus, not a bacteria 🙂
Amazing work you and the garage both did . well done to the apprentice too between you all you will have made a old man smile no doubt. Just goes to show there is genuine honest hard working people in the world that want to treat people kindly .
I’m really enjoying your vids and glad to have discovered you on YT. This vid ensures I’ll be a loyal viewer and supporter.
God will bless you for your kindness. You provided the owner with an invaluable service and probably helped to restore his faith in humanity as well as given him his pride & joy back better than ever. You can’t put a price on those gifts.
That garage should be ashamed of themselves for taking that poor old mans money. And you are a great guy for putting in your time and effort to clean this car for free.
You did a great job mate, not just with the cleaning, but most of cos u did for free, u and the guys from the 3rd garage are top people!!! Well done indeed!!!
You're an absolute star Gary. Love to have seen a short video of the car being handed back to the owner.
I am glad you guys helped him out was very nice when you power washed the seats I was like in hope they are not power seats
Great video , nice you helped that man with his car , keep up the good work / video's , greetings from holland .
Gary, thankyou for what you did, that old man will be so pleased👍
There aren't enough people like you in this world which is quite sad. Reading this introduction bought a tear to my eye and I'm sure I'm not the only one. A beautiful kind gesture from you to offer your time and products for free is a wonderfully selfless act of kindness. You're a great guy and thank you for helping an older gentleman who's been cruelly treated by those who are meant to be professional. There's a place in heaven for you my friend
What a kind gesture to do that and can’t believe how mint it turn out to be amazing work Gary and keep put with the amazing work looking forward to more videos 😀
Name and shame the 2 garages, a total disgrace. Also name the good garage, they and you should be applauded, well done a truly fantastic act of kindness, hats off too you both.
You and the apprentice at the shop have just built a metric ton of good karma. Bravo to you both!
Great video, a great act of kindness
It's a crime that garages can do this sort of thing and stay in business. Well done to you and the guys who fixed it for doing the Right Thing.
COVID is a virus, not a bacteria. “Anti-bacterials” are designed to kill bacteria. “Anti-virals” are designed to kill viruses. There’s a significant difference. JFYI
Meanwhile, another great video. Thanks for your respect to elders. My elderly parents got ripped off and it really bummed them out. Kindness counts!
Cracking job yet again,hopefully the old guy gets back behind the wheel and enjoys his car.
A wee follow up video about this story would be good,well done everybody who got this car back on the road 👍👍
It makes me cry way thos 1st two garages treated this man. Well done you and the last garage and aprentis for sorting the car.
Excellent result, from both yourself and the final garage
Good on you for doing this for this man! Im sure hes going to love it!
You sir are a gentleman. All credit to you for doing this.
I reckon you have just made that old man's year!
Merry Christmas man! What a great present, one love
nice one Gary, there's a special place in hell for these lazy/incompetent feckin' eejit garages -- shame there wasn't anyone to help the old man get to a decent garage first time. At least the last team did a good job (inc. the apprentice), and knew to contact you for the finishing magic touch on the C-Max. All the best for Xmas & the New Year to you and your family, enjoy a well earned winter break. 🥇 Loving the new graphical idents/editing too!
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!
Thank you cleaning the mans car for free what a great gesture 💙👏
Excellent work there once again, thank you for keeping us all entertained and thank you for doing such a generous act, sure the owner will be made up.
great video gary glad you are posting more again I always look forward to your videos
