The Gas Monkey Garage scandal revolves around allegations that the shop fabricated cars and parts to sell to customers in an effort to increase profits. This was confirmed by the owner of the shop, Richard Rawlings, who admitted that he instructed employees not to document the changes they were making to the cars, and instead just perform the work without verifying if it was legitimate.
This has resulted in serious legal and business repercussions, including dozens of lawsuits that have been filed by customers.
