Netflix's hit car restoration series, Car Masters: Rust to Riches, is back for Season 6, focusing on the real people who work as mechanics at the renowned Gotham Garage.
The beloved reality series, which dates back to 2018, follows Gotham Garage in Temecula, California, a mechanics shop best known for its work on creating big-name props for movies and TV.
However, instead of bringing to life some of the coolest pieces of mechanical movie memorabilia, Rust to Riches sees the team restoring classic cars, giving them a more flare and hopefully turning a profit in the process.

Mark Towle is the big boss on Car Masters: Rust to Riches. He owns and solely operates Gotham Garage and has assembled a team of A-list mechanics to help him in his passion for restoring classic cars and motorcycles.
Season 6 sees Mark and the team leaving behind the upgrade-and-trade model of making older vehicles new and dipping their toes into the world of high-end luxury vehicle work instead.

Some of Gotham Garage's best ideas come from Tony Quinones. If Mark is the face of the garage, Quinones is the brains. Serving as Mark Towle's right-hand man and chief engineer, the pair of auto enthusiasts have developed a strong bond over the years.
While not crafting stunning custom creations at Gotham, Quinones has an automotive business called TQ Customs.

Constance Nunes is the only female staff member at Gotham Garage. A self-proclaimed "glam girl wrenching in a 'boys' world," Nunes gives the men of the garage a run for their money, being a stellar custom automotive mechanic herself.
Nunes also works as a part-time model in Southern California and can even be seen racing cars professionally all over the American Southwest (read more about Constance Nunes).

Michael "Caveman" Pyle might look like a Neanderthal with his bushy beard and unwieldy hair, but he is one of the best mechanics at Gotham Garage. Pyle is the garage's resident wildman, known for his sense of humor and propensity for pulling gags on the rest of the team.
Pyle has worked with Gotham Garage since the beginning and has shown how valuable an asset he can be with his technical know-how and unorthodox way of thinking.
Nick Smith
