| 2024-11-16 |  | | Great game! If you've ever played Gearhead Garage (back in the day), this is very close. It's entertaining & fun. I'm hoping the devs will add more customization abilities to the cars (IE decals, etc). Until then, it's loads of fun, no need to sink a lot of real money into the game, and keeps you interested. Thumbs up!!! |
| 2024-11-04 |  | | Impressively well made game, cars are fun to fix with high quality models, and the ads are minimal. But one thing that really bothers me are the racing minigames; they simply aren't fun to me. The cars skid out for seemingly no reason, and bots randomly speed ahead of you. This used to be a non-issue, I could just stick to repairing and collecting, until leveling up your driver became a part of game progression. Now I have to slog through boring and unbalanced races to unlock cars in the museum. |
| 2024-02-18 |  | | This is a great game to learn basics about car structures and mechanics! I haven't done much yet with the racing, but the concept is awesome, simple, and definitely educational. Great job! One thing I wanted to say, is it would be awesome to have a tutorial called "apprentice" where you don't make money (or lose money) but just help the "head mechanic" as you learn about car disassembly and gameplay features. |
| 2024-02-12 |  | | If I could give this game 6 stars, I absolutely would. I've been playing it for maybe half a year now, it's it's just clear how well made it is. The developer cares about their game, posts consistent leaks and updates. The overall gameplay is simple, but the cusomizations can be as difficult or easy as you'd like it to be. Hands down the best mobile game I've ever played. Love the classic cars, love the mechanics, and love the racing. I cant wait to see where this game goes. Props. |
| 2024-01-12 |  | | You need your cars to have tighter shifting and an option for automatic transmission like you used to, the auto transmission was amazing because you didn't have to shift gears manually, that doesn't mean getting rid of the manual transmission. I like both transmissions and the game needs both of them, for beginner players, automatic, for more experienced players, manual. #bring the auto transmission back. Thanks for a great game! |
| 2023-10-31 |  | | Thanks so much for the updates!! Definitely 5 stars!! This game is my little escape from my busy challenging days. I love it and thankful for it being able to take a little bit of time to myself and rescue cars from the junkyard. and build into something amazing then race with the best. Or taking on the challenge of beating the clock and throwing the wrenches down and fixing cars and getting those bonuses. Huge thank you and looking forward to whatever y'all come up with next.😉 Ps more levels. |
| 2023-07-27 |  | | This game is awesome I been playing it for a while and I thought there was bugs in the game but it turns out it was just me not knowing how to play the game lol. Anyway it's fun and challenging and even better when you get to customize cars and drive them and race in them. Overall I recommend this game especially when your bored. It would be nice if you guys can add more cars in the game 👌 |
| 2023-07-18 |  | | I played this game when it released as a littler kid, I always enjoyed seeing different cars from my hometown American classics, but being able to make them just as great. I love Car Mechanic Sim, but the mobile version is horrible, this is the next best thing. Was so excited when I saw you still updated it and I reinstalled, new vehicles are really cool. Maybe add big rigs/trailers? Could also have some more optional tutorials. Besides that it great, keep working. |
| 2022-12-30 |  | | I don't think adding AI for track would be good, too glitchy and easy to win. Instead maybe a multiplayer version for racing, some basic damage physics, more mods for cars, more cars (import as well), and an ability do do wierd engine swaps/mods. Keep the game pretty basic so it works well. Add more racetracks and offroad tracks. And maybe for import cars to be able to import parts for the cars the same way we import cars because I have to order 3 cars to make 1. Otherwise it's the best game. |
| 2022-11-26 |  | | I love this game. I also have an idea for an import vehicle. An 1958 Plymouth Fury. If I never see it, I totally understand, since this is mostly a game about old soviet Era cars, along with some German perfection. Otherwise, I love this game. It's offline, so I can play it on road trips, in the middle of nowhere, out of high-speed data, ect. I also kinda inferred how an engine makes a car run. I hope you keep making this game even better, and will play this game throughout development. |
