One of the reasons why there is very little information about him is due to the lack of any accounts on major social media website; he doesn’t have accounts on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, so there are no details regarding his present endeavors. He becomes one of the many controversies surrounding the show “Counting Cars”. Despite the show’s association with many high profile celebrities thanks to their reputation, the company and the owner got under fire due to his support of President Donald Trump back in 2016 during the presidential election – his stated belief was that Trump would lower taxes on businesses like his. Numerous car enthusiasts have also pointed out how the show is inaccurate, as some facts about the cars and many of Koker’s statements are actually false. There are also many negative reviews about Count’s Kustoms actual shop, with overpriced merchandise, rude staff, and absent staff members, among many of the comments online.
