"Overhaulin' " fans can relate to the premise of "Car S.O.S". Both document the done-in-secret car restorations for needy or down-on-their-luck owners, with the main difference being the former show is based in the US and the latter in the UK. "Car S.O.S" is driven by hosts Tim Shaw and Fuzz Townshend, whose combined talents - Shaw is parts manager, and Townshend is master mechanic - rescue much-loved classics from rusty retirements. With some grease, graft, expertise and care, the SOS team creates jaw-dropping motor makeovers.
