King of Cars was a reality show that premiered on A&E in 2006. The show was set in Las Vegas, Nevada and followed a charming and flamboyant businessman named Chop, who was the owner of Towbin Dodge, one of the largest car dealerships in the United States. The show was centered around the day-to-day operations of the dealership, with a heavy focus on salesmanship, negotiation, and upselling. Throughout the episodes, viewers were introduced to Chop's team of charismatic and knowledgeable salespeople, mechanics, and managers who worked tirelessly to move as many vehicles off the lot as possible.

The show often featured tense negotiations between Chop's sales staff and customers looking for the best possible deal on their dream car. Viewers got to see the behind-the-scenes strategies that the sales staff used to close deals, including offering extra features or financing incentives to sweeten the pot.

In addition to the sales floor, King of Cars took viewers behind the scenes at the dealership's auto shop, where a team of expert mechanics fix and customize vehicles for customers. There were a few recurring mechanics that viewers grew to know and love, including Dee, a no-nonsense mechanic who was always up for a challenge, and Roli, a talented artist who specialized in custom paint jobs.

Of course, in addition to the day-to-day operations of the dealership, King of Cars also delivered plenty of drama and tense moments. Chop was notorious for having a quick temper, and the show often documented his explosive outbursts when things didn't go according to plan.

The show also explored the personal lives of some of the dealership's key players, including Chop himself. Viewers got to see the toll that running such a high-pressure business took on Chop's personal relationships, and the balancing act that he had to maintain between his business and his family.

King of Cars was a hit with viewers when it first aired, and it quickly became a cult favorite. The show was praised for its engaging cast of characters, dramatic moments, and unique perspective on the automotive world.

Although the show only lasted for two seasons, it left a lasting impact on viewers and has since become something of a classic in the world of reality TV. Chop and his team at Towbin Dodge remain legendary figures in the automotive industry, and King of Cars will always be remembered as one of the most entertaining and memorable shows of its kind.

King of Cars is a series that is currently running and has 2 seasons (28 episodes). The series first aired on April 4, 2006.
