Addicting game and a fun way for people to learn basic aspects of automotive mechanics. As someone who has worked on cars for a while, I can see this game is missing A LOT in order for it to be more on the realistic side of things. For someone that just wants to get into working on cars or even someone that is already familiar with mechanics and just wants to pass time, this game is all-around a good choice for both. If you get really interested in the game, you could even go a step further and download mods that make the game a lot more fun. I downloaded mods that sped up processes like buying and fixing parts to speed up doing repairs and grinding achievements. I would like to mention the things they could expand on to make the game more realistic. Some of these things I can understand why they don't touch up on because it could make the game too overwhelming for someone unfamiliar with working on a car. You can tell they intentionally didn't add things that cram up an engine bay specifically to make the game more fluent and the process of navigating around the vehicles whilst working on them easier. Here are some things that the game is lacking for realism: Wiring - Other than ignition wires, there is basically no wiring anywhere in the engine bay so all lights and interior components are basically ran off of magic. The process of bleeding brake lines and calipers - You just replace brake parts and there is no procedures for bleeding air or bad fluid from the brake components like you'd need to do in real life. Torquing - This is self explanatory, but there is no torquing mechanic in this game. In real life, there will always be a torque spec for any fastener on any vehicle, and most are unnecessary, but a lot are absolutely mandatory. Some things that you'd typically always torque are key engine components and lug nuts. Interior - There is only upholstery and steering wheels inside the interior of vehicles in this game. This is the biggest thing I'd like to have seen them improve on because the interiors feel so empty. They could add interior panels, window motors/regulators, door locks, handle rods, A/C, radios, instrument clusters, dashboards, gauges, parking brake assembly, shifter handles, etc. Gaskets - Basically all engine components are just sealed with nothing. There is no intake manifold gaskets, head gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, water pump gaskets, oil pan gaskets, etc. Hoses/Lines - There is no hoses or lines for anything. Sorta like wiring I can understand they don't include these things to make it more visually tolerable for the general public. Fuel and cooling systems are basically transferring fluids via magic so all the fluids you fill up on have no way of getting to their destinations. Gas - I get this is being picky but like it is the #1 thing anyone would expect to be in a game about cars. --> I think they maybe could've added a lot of these things and made them optional for harder difficulties that way inexperienced players wouldn't feel overwhelmed. I do wanna mention the achievements in this game because it is the only reason I spent a lot more hours than expected playing it. If you wanna get all the achievements in this game, you are in for a GRIND. A few achievements that will take you a long time just to name a few are "The Mechanic", "Trader", and "Parking boy". Also there are several achievements you will get over time just naturally by playing like buying 3000 parts from the main shop, fixing 150 car parts, finishing 100 orders, painting 60 cars, unscrewing 10,000 bolts, and more. "The Mechanic" - Reach level 50 - Self explanatory.. it will take a long time to accumulate the amount of XP you'll need to get to level 50. "Trader" - Renovate and sell 50 cars - Without a doubt, the single most time consuming achievement on this game. You need to fix a car completely to 100% condition 50 times. After doing a couple, you will get bored and it'll get really repetitive. I did a few cars everyday and eventually got it done. My trick was going to the junkyard and looking for body frames which are basically cars with no body panels or parts attached so it is just the frame and that's it. Fixing these to 100% takes less time because obviously there is no parts to remove so it saves you a lot of time. After you get quick at doing this, it should take about 20 minutes to 100% renovate and sell 1 car. "Parking boy" - Unlock 10 parking alleys - Also self explanatory because parking alleys you just buy with money and as you buy more they become very expensive. So basically all the money you don't spend on repairs will go towards this. The price of the game I'd say could be a little cheaper, so I'd recommend buying the game when it is on sale. I'd rate the game overall somewhere around 8 out of 10. Only reason the rating isn't higher is because of all the things the game lacks for a more realistic approach. However, it is worth mentioning for a simulator they did a good job keeping it simple for a fun approach and not getting overly complicated.

just starting out as a virtual car mechanic, already lost the 10mm socket. 10/10

Lots of fun, oddly relaxing to take a junkyard wreck and bring it back to life. Playing will actually give you some basic knowledge of the inner workings of cars too. It’s still pretty simplified though, lots of parts that work across multiple makes, but I think it’s as detailed as could be practical for a mass appeal game. I love this game for listening to podcasts/youtube as well.

As a person who works on my own cars, have to love the detail and realism of the working on cars. Only a few things missing including the different variations of brake parts. Pads, rotors, and calipers should be various sizes based on style (Car/SUV/TRUCK). But I am overall impressed with the game.

Needs Multiplayer though so your friends can enjoy working on cars with you and more jobs!! Maybe a parts store side of things to. Amazing game though 10/10 recommend
