Garage Talk Unwrapped Celebrates Major YouTube Milestones
500,000 Views, 40,000 Subscribers & 10,000 Watch Hours
Garage Talk Unwrapped, the fast-growing automotive aftermarket magazine and YouTube show hosted by Ben Coates and Vicky Coates, is celebrating three major milestones. The channel has officially surpassed half a million total views, has over 40,000 subscribers, and its programmes have been watched for over 10,000 hours, marking its strongest year yet.
Launched to bring honest, entertaining, and insightful conversations to the automotive aftermarket, Garage Talk Unwrapped has rapidly become a must-watch platform for independent garages, technicians, industry suppliers, and motoring fans. The channel’s growth has been supported not only by featuring celebrity guests such as Rob Brydon, Chris Evans, Lee Mack, Tim Shaw, Fuzz Townshend, Dara O’Briain, and Izzy Hammond (daughter of Richard Hammond), but also by a wide range of leading industry experts who share invaluable knowledge and real-world experience with the audience.
“These milestones mean so much to us,” said Ben Coates, co-host of Garage Talk Unwrapped. “We built this show from scratch, and the support from the aftermarket community has been incredible. Reaching half a million views proves that people want genuine, straight-talking industry content.”
Co-host Vicky Coates added: “The growth has been unbelievable, hitting 40,000 subscribers already is amazing. Being able to welcome brilliant guests - from top industry specialists to household names - has helped us create the kind of content people truly connect with.”
The team attributes its success to consistent, high-quality storytelling and a commitment to giving a real voice to the UK automotive aftermarket. Recent episodes have delivered exclusive interviews, industry insights, behind-the-scenes conversations, and event coverage that keep viewers coming back.
Looking ahead to 2026, Garage Talk Online and Garage Talk Unwrapped are already working on new projects with launches planned in the first quarter.
