What's the Story?

Custom-car entrepreneur Will Castro has made his New York auto shop Unique Autosports into a well-known brand among fans of high-end vehicles, and is now opening a new location, UNIQUE AUTOSPORTS: MIAMI. This reality show follows the ups and downs of expanding the business, including winning new clients, keeping existing customers happy, and promoting the company's name. The show features plenty of shop sequences as the team transform stock bodies into impressive feats of automotive artistry. But it's not all about the work; Castro also makes an effort to spend time with his family, and often explains that his top goal is to take care of the people who are important to him.

Is It Any Good?

Unique Autosports: Miami is an interesting mix of business and mechanics. Boss Castro clearly takes pride in his work, and carefully explains how his team starts with a standard vehicle and transforms it into something special. The details here will please any fan of custom cars.

But Castro's priorities clearly include more than just the work. He often talks about his family, and his wife and young daughter sometimes appear on the show to remind him why he puts in the long hours. Yes, he likes the customizing, and he clearly enjoys hanging out with his many celebrity clients. But for Castro, family is even more important, and it's nice to see a businessman who has some perspective on the important things in life.
