It's all about turning piles of rusting junk into a money making machine. To make this happen, Andy Cohen has to be a scrappy, ambitious leader who balances his own pie-in-the-sky drive with his father's down-to-earth perspective. For the day-to-day work, he's backed up by a group of talented, but not exactly mainstream, characters. And to succeed as a team, they all have to find the proverbial diamonds in the rough, chase down deals, and add value to what others throw away--it's not work, it's the hustle.
With the junkyard business running smoothly, Andy turns his attention to ambitious projects that could make or break the reputation of Damascus Motors.
Conflicting business philosophies between father and son are put to the test when two different projects arrive at the yard.
First, his well-meaning father screw up a big repair job. Then mechanical problems with his race-car threaten to turn his one pastime into a headache.
Andy lets his staff help him run the shop while he's away.
Andy's obsessed with growing his business, and he's willing to take a risk for a big pay off. The sure-money jobs he's getting provide him with the additional confidence, but in the end, there's no guaranteed success for Andy's gamble.
Andy plans his annual Halloween party in the midst of the busy season.
Andy looks for innovative ways of selling the stuff in his junkyard.
The yard is getting ready for its annual car show, so Andy has to outsource some projects. He wants to fix up his old 1980 Jeep CJ-5, and he's also helping drag racing champion Mo Hall rehab his 1969 Camaro.
The junkyard is shorthanded and a total mess, and Bobby wants Andy to take care of it himself. Andy, though, has other plans, with his sights set on fixing up a girlfriend special Yukon.
When a beat up Chevy short bed rolls into the yard, Andy thinks it's too valuable to crush, but Bobby isn't pleased about Andy's idea.
Andy gives Bobby the keys to his Cooper to flip, but the Mini has major issues; with his father occupied, Andy takes on projects Bobby would never approve of, including a vintage beach cruiser build and a load of Porsche race cars.
