Why does no one want to work with Mike Brewer?

• Mike Brewer, a British automotive enthusiast and car trader, gained fame through "Wheeler Dealers," a show that has entertained car enthusiasts since its debut in 2003, despite controversies including a public feud with former co-star Edd China.
• From running a snooker hall to establishing "Mike Brewer Motors," Brewer's journey into the automotive industry was influenced by his father's passion for cars, leading him to become a renowned figure in car trading and restoration.
• Brewer's television career began with "Driven" on Channel 4 in 1998, followed by hosting roles in "Pulling Power" and "Deals on Wheels," before landing the leading role in "Wheeler Dealers," which focuses on buying, restoring, and selling classic cars.
• "Wheeler Dealers" has seen several co-host changes over its nearly two-decade run, with Edd China leaving in 2017 due to disagreements with the show's direction, and Ant Anstead stepping down in 2020 to stay in the US amid personal changes, leading to Marc "Elvis" Priestly joining Brewer for the show's return to the UK.
• Despite rumors suggesting difficulties working with Brewer, the departures of co-hosts were due to personal choices and external factors, not Brewer's behavior. Brewer remains a respected figure in automotive entertainment, continuing to attract global audiences to "Wheeler Dealers."

Wheeler Dealers with Edd China has always been my favorite!!!
Ed Bit the hand that FEED Him .MIKE did Not ?
Only watched the program because of Edd China. Comes across as a nicer person, and far more knowledgeable
Ed Bit the Hand that Fed Him .W/D TV Work U Don't Do That .MIKE DID NOT .?
Brewer is a used car salesman.......’nuff said, mate....
Yea that's Y hes a got a Mill in the Bank ?
The worst thing was bad mouthing Ed China when he left. Ed kept it classy and private. There is a video of Mike bad mouthing Ed at an American car show so not cool...
The way he slated edd was unforgivable.
Because he is a back stabber 1:14 1:19
Why has this video got that annoying background noise thumping away all through it?
@@daddylonglegs2010 Well it certainly stopped me watching more than a bit of it!
I stopped watching Wheeler Dealers when Edd was replaced with ant.
Ed China came across as a thoroughly likable character with sound, extensive knowledge of his trade, Brewer came across as a 'wide-boy' character, typical of a second-hand car dealer.. not someone I would trust instinctively, the dynamic between the two was not helped by the impression that Brewer simply took a trip somewhere, bought a vehicle and then left Ed China to tackle all the problems. These are only superficial prejudices but the effect can be considerable.. It's likely that with the cultural differences between the UK and US Brewer's perceived character would be less of a hindrance in America.
Clickbait title. However, I seem to recall him bad mouthing Edd Chyna in at least one interview after Edd left, blaming him for daring to leave and suggesting Edd had got too big for his boots. Feel free to correct me if I am mistaken. 🤔🚘
And the robot narrator sucks
SAD Get on with your Life ?@@nipperdawg1865
Something about a 10 a penny mechanic, coming from a back stabbing used car salesperson 😡
Everyone seems to forget that Mike CREATED Wheeler Dealers and was the brains behind the show , Ed decided to leave the show of his own accord and wasn't forced out .
I used to work for a huge classic car parts business. Mike Brewer was a paid celebrity promotor for the company. Whenever he came into the office, he just blanked everyone, walked around as if he owned the place, and even blatantly let his dog run around pissing up the desks. He's an absolute W⚓ Speaking to people who have had the misfortune to take part in filming with him, they have all said he is a rude, demanding, power-mad, diva. I can't stand the turnip.
Fair to say throughout the partnership of Edd and the other felahhh, my bet is 90% tuned in to watch Edd on the tools not the "car salesman" blagging the cars.
Who would want to buy anything of him ,,😮
Seeing as he’s got TWO successful dealerships.I’d say plenty of people wouldn’t you
Why can't anybody spell, 'off' these days ? Keep an eye out, always 'of'... 🤦♂️
Edd was the bomb. You can always tell a good hearted soul, and he certainly was one. The subsequent techs were chosen for their looks on screen, and they bring less validity to the show. Still, Wheeler Dealers is a captivating formula, and my favorite show on Motor Trend TV.
Click bait bollocks
The show isn't about fixing a car yourself, but watching a mechanic rebuilding a scrap car with the aid of the factory. Everyone can be a Wheeler Dealer and buy cheap cars with problems if you have a complete factory to back you up with materials and know-how.
Miker Brewer was half of what made the original Wheeler Dealers fun to watch. The other half was obviously Edd. But is the combination of the two, and their distinct personalities and respective talents that made it enjoyable. This show was about being able to buy low, do value added work, and sell high. Without "buy low" there would be no show, and without Mike, there would have been no buying low. Edd didn't have it in him to haggle, and haggle someone must, if was to work as a concept. The combination of Mike's outgoing personality and Edd's more sedate everyman approach made the pair a formidable team. The fact that Mike might have slagged Edd is not my concern, I don't know what was going on behind the curtain. I just remember a very entertaining automotive show.
I always thought the earlier episode ms with edd was the best there was always more content fixing the cars, but the newer ones with ant and elvis they aren't anywhere near as good
It's interesting how many people are still working with him considering no one wants to
It’s called money
And you work for free?
The sort of mouthy sales rep I’d walk away from. Cockney Wanker Graduate of the Time Share school of Con. Edd China is the star.
He is rude, full of his own ego -bossy always saying he works hard when he does very little. However his co stars were all brilliant for working so hard and putting up with him. .EG: Why would you make a colleague change an old rusty Morgan chassis ? Crazy amount of work..
Bullshit. Ever met or worked with him .......
Talking out of your arse.Get your facts right.When he bought the Morgan,the dealer told him it needed a new chassis as the old one was toast.
Started crying like big girl when he was in Afghanistan and the pilot got injured. He volunteered to go to a warzone Afghans don’t care that he had TV program.
Yes, nice bloke to be honest.
It's you that's the tosser.
I thought the original Britain based series worked well as it gave most time to Edd's repair work. When the Americans took over it was getting more ' so we needed a new gearbox, here is one I bought and put in earlier '.
ALL Ways fun and interesting to watch , their all great on the show , as they all have different ideas to get the job done .
clickbait title and bs content. you even explain in your own words they all left for personal reasons, not because of mike. killed the whole reason for the video there and then.
His ego is his downfall imo. I have always found Brewer to have an unpleasant personality.
How many shows have you watched ?
100% agree. I find Brewer to be a total merchant banker.
Video produced by ... Mike Brewer
Yes I think he just may be a bit of a handful so to speak. He jokes. He seems to put down the mechanic who works with him one way or the other. Or is it all just an act like Jeremy Clarkson to make people watch ? He is entertaining and it is a tv show after all. Maybe we are all taking it way too seriously
I find Mike a little too arrogant for my liking. I usually record the show and fast forward to the interesting bits. Has anyone else noticed how he no longer ‘races’ his co hosts? Ed was not very rapid behind the wheel, so Mike enjoyed showing him up. Unlike Elvis, who has racing experience 😂.
Edd strips bits of the car rebuilds them without cleaning them, very bad workshop practice, the man i was apprenticed to would have kicked my arse for that.
having previously worked alongside a car dealer with a similar personality, I can understand why, full of his own self importance. car selling isn't rocket science, you don't need any brains, just a bullying personality to force people into cars they probably don't really need.
Funny, I got that impression with Ant Anstead, he annoyed the hell out of me how he wouldn't shut up talking about himself :P I watched about three or four episodes with him in it and couldn't take anymore. Then I saw a series he made in recreating an old racer, and managed to force myself to sit through three episodes of that in the hopes he'd stop singing praise about himself, but nope, again with the self-importance. The new bloke in Wheeler Dealers though, Elvis, is very good.
Sooo... 16 minutes to explain that you have a wrong and misleading title?? Maybe you should have called it "It's NOT true that no one wants to work with Mike Brewer"!
Most of the restored cars and their ‘profits’ are completely phoney. The costs are based on ‘hobby’ projects, never including the costs of real overheads, ie rent of garages, costs of utilities, taxes, acquisition of tools and machines, instead just cost of vehicle, materials used and a notional ‘man hours’ expended. Mechanics and body specialists could be as high as over £100 per hour per skill, so the dirty profit figures are completely fake……it’s entertainment is genuine but I prefer the more emotionally engaging ‘Car SOS’ where costs are less relevant than the finished project, often on hopelessly deteriorated cars, but where there is a deserving owner….the ‘reveal’ is often a tear jerker…….
Yes, very true. Labor costs are not included or are the other costs you mentioned. The numbers do not add up, the sale prices do not reflect the time, labor, overhead, involved in getting the cars running.
Mike is alright - the problem is WD went downhill once the yanks got involved. Not worth watching past about Series 11
You are right! That is why Edd China left. Thank god some has brains too. Edd did not like the way WD was going in the GOOD' OL' US of A. So he stuck to his principles and left the show.
I agree, I started struggling continuing to watch the series when it went to the US, the Yanks had to make it for an American audience by dumbing it down. I can't believe though that the Yanks are that dumb and have the attentions span of ants as the producers seem to think that's what they're like :P I started watching again when they got a new mechanic, Elvis and are back in the UK.
I watched to the end and still wish Ed was back!!
You left out several seasons with "Ant".
Another toss pot.
What a load of AI spouting bollox, it's talking about a Porsche with pics of an MR2?!?!
Loved Wheeler Dealers. I'm tall, and was amazed how Ed fit his hands in some small places. Ed worked so hard, sometimes doing all-nighters to meet the show's deadline. Then Mike would sell it for his original cost and parts, getting very little for Ed's labor. Just thought Ed was worth more.
At 8.39, that's an MGB, not a Porsche! Incidentally, it's not pronounced nine hundred and twenty four - just 924!
then it morphs into an MR2. Also the picture of his mum is actually his wife. Sloppy
Stopped watching when wheeler dealers became the Mike Brewer show.....
Written by Brewer?
Hold out your hand! 🤝
Those slating Mike should remember he always had a lot on his plate...burgers, fish and chips, pizza, curries ect....
No one is bigger than their show. However the production company have a lot to answer for because they wanted to go bigger and better instead of perfecting what they had with Edd and Mike. Going global from a small series which the UK took to it's hearts was a step too far. I have met Mike and Edd through my business and I have to say, they are both good guys.
I agree with that, once the Yanks got hold of it they dumbed it down and ruined it.
Nothing more than a con man who sells cars in my humble opinion with Daddy giving him the space to do so !!!!!!!!
Mainly i did not like Mike saying" son" to to the mechanics,it shows red flags of narcissism.
Because he is a total bell end !! SIMPLES
A very clever bell end who has made a very good living
Why the extremely annoying backing track?.
He is a happy go lucky type, always, ready for a joke, he does a lot of completely necessary work behind the scenes, which is still work. He enjoys his driving at the wheel so much that he laughs and giggles very loudly, which is of great amusement to others. He mixes well with his mechanical partners, tells them to do this and that in a jovial way, making it all part of the fun. He does not seem to care that he is getting fatter by the day, not forgetting that fat people are always happy, fun loving people. Mike has a very large garage full of cars, 4 porche, plus many others, over £1m worth. Mike being a millionair $4, does not need to work but carries on because he loves cars and everything to do wth them. 😊🎉🎉🎉
he's good a buying cars, but not great at selling them, and he just has no people skills, the way he talked to Edd and Ant was just appalling, I couldn't work with someone like that
Mike is a good presenter and very knowledgeable, it’s Tim Shaw I can’t stand he spoils what could be a good show.
You should be asking what the film crew think about him because one sound man I know who has worked with him was not complimentary to put it politely 😃
Because Mike keeps licking their dinner😊😊😊
This is total rubbish. Met Mike Brewer on many occasions even when filming at Bruntingthorpe in Leicestershire. A genuinely nice guy both on and off camra, which is more than more than I can say for some complete tossers I have had the displeasure to work with. Love or hate Jeremy Clarkson he is a very genuine person both on and off screen as is James May.
Isn't that the hallmark of the used car salesman - to make you feel he's your friend and doing you a favour. He's a wide boy but successful with it. I doubt he's got any real friends - I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
Change Mr. Brewer p-l-e-a-s-e.
Mike can't even say 'Aston Martin' properly without calling it an 'Ahhhstin' (like a certain J. Clarkson, that farmer from Doncaster), Edd did all the hard work and Mike probably never even paid him out of their 'profits'.
There was a reason for the close up shots of orange gloves in lots of the episodes. Hint - they weren’t always Ed’s hands ‘doing all the work’
Interesting
It’s not hard to dislike Mike Brewer , very arrogant and a massive lack of self awareness
Mike is still very successful working in the main stream media and Edd is not....."Nuff Said Mate"
So two people no longer work with him, and that constitutes no none?
Drivel
An unbelievably arrogant person off-screen…
Too much Gut? I'm just speculating of course, it might be something else.
Mabey people dont believe him. Would you buy a car from this man ?
Little Billy bullshit like the commentary about a porsche when its an mr2
HE IS THE BRAILNLESS LOUDMOUTH that every motoring show has. TIM SHAW, JEREMY CLARKSON, GERRY FROM WHEELDEALERS FRANCE..... NO BRAIN JUST MOUTH.
Check your spelling before calling other people brainless.
Mike Brewer, middle class???? How on earth did you come to that conclusion?
Is this program still running, ? I'm surprised because without Eddie it became an embarrassment 💩
Hold out yer hand fella.
Youve just bought a lemon
Media outlets never learn. Leave him alone!
Wheeler Dealers bombed when Edd left the show. That's it and all about it. Can't stand the Brewer bloke.
I really can’t stand this bloke he acts so childish when work is getting done in these specialists facilities he goes to get parts refurbished when the parts are no longer made all he is ,is a courier collecting parts then he goes on about how hard he works to get these cars done there’s no credit to the mechanics that actually do the work
I’ve actually met him, thought he was a nice guy 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Doesn't matter what he know or does! Its all down to money, one becomes Greedy, you can tell that when he bought cars, he wanted them for nothing then get someone to fix them up and sell them for high profits, why? You are getting money for the tv show, give the car away, but no its greed!
The less he is on TV the better. I would not want my products advertised anywhere near his TV shows.
It is simple. We only watched the show cos of Ed China. Brewer was just seen as a used car salesman, nothing more. After China left, so did we..................
Ask yourself Would you buy a car off him!!!!!😮
I bought a Mazda CX5 from Mike Brewer Motors a couple of years ago. Was a fair price and has been a good reliable car. Still got it.
ed china was the star all brewer did was give the motors away
I like Flipping Bangers way more. Those guys are sincere and get along great. I don't like Wheeler Dealers . Mike Brewer is always putting himself before his mechanics , very improper English Me and Edd or Me and Ant or Me and Elvis. Not Edd and I or Ant or I or Elvis and I.
I didn't hear Elvis's' name here. Who is Mark? This is a mess.
Money mad mike brewer that’s all I’m saying
Edd
What a load of ?
What absolute dross you make! And he's still working. So many still want to work with him. People in the industry who have worked with Mike have said what a genuinely nice man he is. I'm going to block your drivel from my feeds.
You’ve got to be confident to put yourself out there in the world so no hate on mike from me
Withouot Mike the show would not be as good great at getting parts great with Elvis great mechanics keep it going
Well said.
Nonsense. People would love to work with him. He’s provided years of entertainment and given lots of people help and the chance to get on
Brewer is a knob
Brewer's attitude and behavior have always been just right for me... you cannot achieve and manage by being a shrinking violet.
Spot on.
It’s a shame fame went to his head but after all Mike was a car salesman and we all know that you wouldn’t trust one as far as you could throw them Ed was the star but you can only flog a horse for so long 🤔
Would not watch after Edd china left.
It simply comes down to the two co presenters who left was not Mike Brewers fault people change jobs for many reasons and when we got rid of Foxtel eventually it was the only motoring show l missed but you tube shows the odd Wheeler Dealers episode which l do watch and Mike Brewer has been interviewed on many you tube channels at car shows held in the UK
HE IS GREAT LEAVE HIM ALONE HE IS NOT A QUITTER
Patronising D H ....
Well I stopped watching the prick after edd left,he was great.
I wouldnt work with him either ! Karismatic yeah right
Mike Brewer is terrific. He holds these shows together. Hat's off to him.
Only so I can shout at the television what rubbish he's spreading.
I am a big fan of Mike and I think the trading of cars is much more fun than getting your fingers hurt in a congested motor room or get dirt on your clothes and in your hair while trying to repair some old car which has been run through by a lot of other guys. Mike was the guy who gave energy to the series whereas the tall mechanics just was arm and legs.
Here us a hint for KZhead chanbel creators. Use a real human voice. Not a robot. And don't drive viewers crazy with a stupid, monotonous background track. If i want to listen to a metronome, i can buy one. I stopped watching halfway through.
I've watched the show back in the day and my impression was always that Mike was just interested in the money, and not the actual car. If you only care about the profit, then what's in it for the viewer... It should be a program about the cars and somehow Mike always managed to promote himself as nothing but a seller.
More importantly why duz nobody won't 2 wotch this film enymore
Stupid music!!
