Some of the songs from the show became hits on Svensktoppen, and the series was adapted into a 1990 film, Macken – Roy's & Roger's Bilservice.

There are also three subplots, where the local authority wants to demolish the garage to build a new motorway; where an annoyed customer keeps returning to collect his white Opel, after a service, but Roy and Roger are unable to find the car; and where a very timid, beige-clothed man keeps parking his blue Volvo 240 outside the garage, much to Roy's annoyance, but is too nervous to ever actually approach Roy or Roger.

The setting never moves from the interior of the station and aside from a small glimpse when Roy opens the backdoor you never see how the outside looks.

The television series was adapted into a film, Macken – Roy's & Roger's Bilservice, in 1990.

In 2016, the television series was adapted into a stage play, Macken – TV-serien på scen.
