❤ Gameplay Overview

The game lets you take on the role of a car mechanic, with a core loop of receiving repair orders, diagnosing issues, acquiring parts, and restoring vehicles to working condition. You can also seek out and purchase junked or damaged cars, then fully rebuild them from the ground up.

❤ Repair and Restoration Process

At the heart of the gameplay is the car repair and restoration process. You'll diagnose issues by examining vehicles and their 4,000+ unique components using tools like the wrench and screwdriver. Once you identify problems, you must locate and purchase the necessary replacement parts, either from a parts shop or by salvaging them from junk vehicles. You then carefully disassemble, repair, and reassemble the components in the proper order, with certain tasks like wheel balancing represented as precision-based minigames.

❤ Progression and Customization

As you progress, you'll earn experience points to level up your mechanic skills, unlocking new repair abilities, tools, and services. You can also invest in upgrading and expanding your repair shop, adding new bays, equipment, and amenities. When restoring purchased cars, you can repaint, tune, and modify them to your liking, with a wide array of visual customization options for the exterior and interior.

❤ Community Feedback

Players praise the game's level of detail and realism, finding the hands-on work of vehicle repair and restoration to be satisfying and relaxing. Some with automotive backgrounds note the game has helped them better understand car mechanics and inspired them to tackle more repairs on their own vehicles. However, a minority feel the game is still somewhat simplified compared to real-world auto repair, lacking certain complexities like wiring, hoses, and torque requirements, and wish for more in-depth systems.
