• 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."

Only watched the program because of Edd China. Comes across as a nicer person, and far more knowledgeable
-
Brewer is a used car salesman.......’nuff said, mate....
-
Wheeler Dealers with Edd China has always been my favorite!!!
-
The way he slated edd was unforgivable.
-
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...

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.

I stopped watching Wheeler Dealers when Edd was replaced with ant.

Why has this video got that annoying background noise thumping away all through it?

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.
-
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. 🤔🚘

Who would want to buy anything of him ,,😮

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.

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
-
Click bait bollocks
-
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 '.
