[[Edd China]] was credited as the show's co-presenter, from series 1 to 13 doing much of the restoration and mechanical/servicing work, and giving viewers tips on how to sort out and solve various car problems, as well as estimating how much a garage would charge for such repairs. There were, however, always two other mechanics credited.
On 21 March 2017, Velocity announced that China had left the show to "pursue other projects" and that he would be replaced by [[Ant Anstead]] in series 14. China explained{{citation needed|date=August 2022}} that he chose to leave because he was disagreeing with the channel, which wanted to cut down his fixes and degree of technical information delivered in the workshop.
On 2 November 2020, it was announced that Marc "Elvis" Priestley would replace Anstead as the main mechanic of the show from Series 17, when it returns to the UK after six years filming in the U.S. However, Anstead will appear occasionally as a special guest.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwWk02fLjog |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211217/IwWk02fLjog |archive-date=2021-12-17 |url-status=live|title=''Mike, Ant And Elvis Make A BIG Announcement About The Future Of The Show'' |date=2 November 2020 |publisher=Discovery |access-date=12 November 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
