A new Netflix reality TV series based in El Paso follows two car enthusiasts and their journey to search for undervalued cars in Mexico and restore them to sell in the United States.
“Tex-Mex Motors” stars El Pasoan Marcos “Scooter” Carrera, and his business partner, YouTube celebrity Rob “Rabbit” Pitts.
Carrera and Pitts with the help of a team of automotive experts transport the vehicles from Mexico across the border, and into the U.S. where they are auctioned off.
Buyers include everyone from celebrities to local car collectors.
“I am extremely proud of this project, and I hope that we shine a positive light on the borderland, and many similar projects will follow. Not only is this important for car enthusiasts but the entire El Paso region,” said Carrera.
All eight episodes were shot in El Paso, Texas, Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, and Las Cruces, New Mexico.
The show has been in development for approximately seven years since its pilot was filmed.
Netflix took on the production shortly after COVID-19 restrictions were lifted and have since worked to air the show by the summer of this year.
“I hope the community supports this project by tuning in and watching on June 9th. Tremendous community support means more projects for our local film community," said Carrera.
“Tex-Mex Motors” was produced by California-based MAK Pictures with local support from El Paso’s own Star Central Studios.
