The show is based on a garage that restores classic cars and motorcycles, along with providing maintenance and customization services. The main focus of the show is on the team of mechanics, technicians and designers who work diligently to restore and rebuild these classic vehicles. The show is hosted by David Grainger and Peter James Haworth, along with Paolo Pininfarina who is a member of a famous Italian car design family.

David is the owner of the garage and has been working on cars for over forty years. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which he brings to the show.

Apart from the restoration process, the show also features the garage's workshop, which houses various tools and equipment necessary for the restoration process. Viewers get an inside view of the garage and the team's high levels of expertise.

One of the features of the show is the attention given to the finer details of the restoration process. The team carefully considers the last details, including color combinations, adding features that enhance the car's appearance and performance. These minor details are what set the garage apart from other restoration teams.

Another intriguing aspect of the show is the clients' stories who bring their classic cars to Restoration Garage. David and Peter listen to the clients' stories about their cars and create a custom restoration plan based on the clients' specifications. The clients often have personal attachments to these classic cars, and the team takes the clients’ emotions into account during the restoration process, ensuring no detail is left behind.

The show also features the team's diverse approach to restoration, from using traditional methods like hand-drawn sketches to modern innovations in 3D scanning and printing.
