    No, he is correct.
    We know that switching will turn a loss into a win, and a win into a loss.
    We know this because after one goat is eliminated, you are left with a goat and a car, switching will always go to the other. The probability of picking a goat in the beginning (win) is 2/3. Therefore, switching will turn a win into a loss 2/3 of the time, so it is in your favor to switch doors.
    If your still not convinced, don't take my word for it, try it yourself here.

    Don't mind me, I'm just a few slices short of a whole cake, and a few cards full of a short deck.
