Definely NOT the way to sell a car!

Have a read of the description of this eBay listing.

Anyone that's watched that show knows you never take your car to them.

I mean, I know it's just a TV show and mainly done for the cameras, but you don't advertise the fact that they've touched the car.
(Well, you don't take it there in the first place.)

Haven't seen the show. What's the problem with them?

I did not think they did a bad job on the episodes that I have seen. Josh likes to 'Bosh' it when things don't go to plan. It a) tends to save his customers money, and b) I suspect is not that different to the MB or any other garage when things go wrong.

Certainly I had a W203 with a passenger head rest that liked to rattle. The dealer was getting ****** off with it coming back, stripped the seat and made some 'adjustments' I always suspected the seat was beaten within an inch of it's life with a lump hammer...

I saw an episode where a 211 had a failed headlamp.
Time to replace bulb was resonable, but Josh insisted on doing a full diagnostic check to ensure the car wasn't reporting any errors.
No problem with that you may say (and I agree) but it took several hours for his mickey mouse diagnostic tool to complete it's test.
Total cost to customer was well into three figures (just for a headlamp change).

I also recall a Josh Bosh was to take an intercooler pipe from another customer's car to fit into a Landrover that needed to be fixed quickly.
Unfortunately (for Josh) the pipes in each car were of different diameter and so he didn't complet the Bosh.

Maybe it's me, but I just don't like such practices.
