The gameplay of this mechanic simulator has received mixed reviews, with many players comparing it unfavorably to the more polished Car Mechanic Simulator series. While some appreciate the unique features like sandblasting and painting mechanics, others criticize the repetitive nature, lack of content, and numerous bugs that hinder the experience. Overall, the game shows potential but requires significant updates and improvements to compete effectively in the genre.
- “Awesome gameplay!”
- “The gameplay (parts handling, painting) is much better than in CMS.”

- “Game was abandoned at a point where you've only got three trucks, basic customization and extremely repetitive gameplay; could have been huge if it wasn't just pump and dumped.”

- “Overall this game is just a worse version of car mechanic simulator; it does however have some potential, it might be a good idea to come back to this game in a year whenever it gets better.”

The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and bugs that hinder gameplay, particularly in multiplayer and vehicle building. While some players find enjoyment in the game despite these issues, many express frustration over the persistent technical problems that detract from the overall experience.

- “The game maintains a steady frame rate even during intense action sequences.”
- “I haven't experienced any crashes or bugs, which makes for a smooth gaming experience.”
- “Really needs updates, the multiplayer is really buggy and keeps crashing constantly. Missions keep bugging, items can't be interacted with, and so on. Wrench for VR is better and Car Mechanic Simulator.”
- “Parts that should be in one place suddenly belong to another part. The paint and sandblasting progression bar can't be trusted because it can show 100% when still at maybe 50%, and sometimes it just doesn't show at all. Some of these bugs/glitches can be fixed by closing the game and opening it again, but not always. I'm sorry, but it's not worth the annoyance.”
