Episodes
Season 1
Season one started on June 6, 2012 and ended on December 8, 2012 for a total of 14 episodes.[2] Season one was filmed on location on Reeder Road in Dallas, in a shop building rented from Phipps Auto, which was also featured in the show. The Gas Monkey Garage crew worked in the back shop, while Rawlings brought Corvettes, Cadillacs, and other cars that were going to be "quick flips" to Dewaine Phipps to get them running again. Gas Monkey Garage also had an ongoing business relationship with Sue Martin, a successful Taiwanese immigrant, at ASM Auto Upholstery, a business that was literally within car-pushing distance of their shop. KC Mathieu, a long-time friend of Kaufman's and owner of KC's Paint Shop, is part of the regular GMG crew and the painter for Gas Monkey Garage. Another heavily featured member of the Gas Monkey Garage crew during season one was Scot McMillan, Jr, of Scot Rods Garage, who left at the end of season one to work at his own shop. During season one, Rawlings also hired an office assistant named Christie Brimberry, who makes repeated appearances on the show.

Season 2
Season two started on February 18, 2013 at 9 p.m. EST.[3] The first episode of the second season, "Mashed Up Mustang", featured a 1967 Ford Mustang convertible, which the crew renovated, painting it black, lowering it, and giving it a new, black interior. However, while the car was out for a test drive, it was totaled by a pickup truck driver without insurance and was later sold for parts. With business partners Dennis Collin's financial backing, Richard bought a wrecked red Ferrari F40 for $400,000 and spent $295,000 to paint it black and upgrade it with modern technology.
