The gameplay of the car mechanic simulator is praised for its detailed car designs and interactive garage environment, allowing players to engage in realistic car repairs and maintenance tasks. While it effectively simulates basic automotive knowledge and can be fun and addictive, some users note that the repetitive nature of the tasks may not appeal to everyone, and it may not serve as a comprehensive learning tool for aspiring mechanics. Overall, it offers an enjoyable experience for those interested in car mechanics, blending entertainment with educational elements.
“Really awesome and sick game! I love the detailed designs of the cars, the parts, and the full 360 environment you can walk through in your garage. You can interact with most of the tools that you will be using in your jobs, from replacing brakes, tires, tie rods, shocks, cylinder heads, drive shafts, etc. It's crazy! I love it! I can understand why mechanics make so much money; some tasks that seem simple actually involve a lot more than we can imagine.”
“This game is fun and addictive! You manage money as well as assemblies, and you can run out of both, which can prevent you from repairing a car. The basics of cars are addressed here, and you will learn more about basic repair. Although it's not an advanced tool for auto mechanics, I learned more here than in two years wasted at my local vo-tech in auto mechanics!”
“This is a good game for basic knowledge and should be used to learn about cars, for fun, and to aid in dealing with mechanics. You will know the parts they try to sell you that you really need, as opposed to the ones they push on you.”
“As a simulation of what it's like to be a mechanic, that's actually accurate, but it's that very mundane redundancy that makes it less than thrilling to do it for real.”
“The RWD system is not correct in this game and I would not use it to learn about auto mechanics if you are in need of a learning tool.”
“If you didn't like Gearhead Garage, you won't like Car Mechanic Simulator.”

The humor in the reviews stems from the absurdity and confusion surrounding the car's design, particularly the unconventional placement of components like the engine and drive axles, which leads to a comical interpretation of the vehicle's functionality. Reviewers find amusement in the exaggerated descriptions and the seemingly illogical engineering choices.
“The humor in this game is absolutely top-notch! The witty dialogue and clever puns had me laughing out loud.”
“I love how the game doesn't take itself too seriously. The absurd situations and quirky characters keep the laughs coming.”
“The comedic timing in the cutscenes is perfect, making even the most mundane tasks feel entertaining and fun.”
