In just under 10 hours, I learned the entire assembly of cars, down to the cams, chains/belts, suspension assemblies, and common consumables. This game includes full engine rebuilds, piston replacement and all. I then went outside the game to research these systems in real-world videos. Valve springs, rocker arms, compression ratios, even basic staging with altering hp production. And then bushing demonstrations in action, dampers, hub bearings and other components. I have 4 cars. These 10 hours have already saved me over £1000 and given me a (superficial) insight of what exactly my mechanic's doing on each car. Which job's labour-cheap, which one is labour-intensive. What engine has a timing belt/chain buried at the back, vs. what engine has a very accessible one. And also why it is so incredibly, incredibly important to keep to the maintenance schedule. Make it essential, just like filling your gas tank. I truly recommend everyone with a car to play at least 10 hours of this. It is truly an irreplaceable experience even if you're never going to work on your own car. It just gives you peace of mind that you'll command moderate knowledge, enough to keep up in common car discussions (including with your general mechanic), for the rest of your life. Excellent, excellent work.

I have worked on vehicles for more than 40 years. I am a certified master tech, for what that is worth here. I found this game and it was on sale for only a few dollars so I bought it. I wasn't expecting much. All in all, it is a very good game, IMHO. The details in the engine and vehicles are pretty accurate to the real thing in many ways. The game leaves out the frustration of finding the bolts, finding a way to get to the bolts, the proper tool to get the bolt out, the dirt and rust that falls in your face, ears and eyes. It leaves out the torque specs and other tedious things that would run people off while leaving enough to make it somewhat lifelike and fun. This is actually a game I enjoy playing. I get outdone and tired of working on vehicles in real life at times but I spend a bit of time in the game enjoying tearing engines down and fixing them without all the frustrating realistic parts of fixing cars. I could nitpick this game to death with all the stuff they leave out and how simple it makes working on cars look but it is a game, meant to be fun, not necessarily realistic. I think the devs found a way to make a game that is real enough yet still fun.

An amazing stress-reliever that stops just short of true realismIf you are looking for a sim game to wind down after a long day, this is perfect. The gameplay loop is very addictive and relaxing. That being said, the mechanics are simplified compared to real-world wrenching. For instance, when doing a timing job, you don't have to worry about top dead center (TDC) or use specialized tools like timing locking rods/pins to hold the engine position. Adding details like piston alignment during assembly would have made it perfect. Highly recommended, but don't expect a 1:1 real life tutorial.
