The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback from users, with many praising their realism and detail, particularly in vehicle interiors and physics. However, a significant number of players express a desire for improvements, including higher quality textures, better rendering, and the addition of more dynamic elements like NPCs and traffic to enhance realism.

- “This game is very good, I like this game very much. The graphics are very realistic and the game has many things to do.”

- “The game is fun but I would like it with better and detailed graphics in the car interior, add AI traffic and some houses along the road.”
- “The game is great but it still needs improvement for instance the graphics, glitches, and there must be people who work at the shops.”

The gameplay of this mechanic simulation game is praised for its realistic mechanics and educational value, allowing players to engage deeply with car repair and maintenance. However, many users express a desire for additional features such as multiplayer options, more vehicles, improved durability of parts, and a larger map to enhance the overall experience. While the game is immersive and enjoyable, it is noted to be quite complex and may not be beginner-friendly, with some players encountering bugs that hinder gameplay.
- “This game helped me understand the complexity of an engine, since the player will be learning some stuff about the job of a mechanic as the game is played.”
- “The gameplay is wonderful.”
- “This game is so nice that I can't stop playing, and the most part of it is like fixing a car; that's what I like about it—it's like you are a professional mechanic.”
- “Played the game for many years now and as of recently I noticed the ads constantly crash the game. The antifreeze and brake fluid don't last nearly long enough, neither do the parts. They need much more durability for the game to be playable, and to fully access the job without your truck breaking down after a few jobs and then not being able to afford the fix usually just halts the gameplay. The brake fluid bottle will not even fill up a quarter of the pump; there's barely anything in it.”
- “Way too realistic in terms of gameplay... not beginner friendly.”
- “Game looks and feels great but I've spent an hour and a half trying to fix and start the damn car. I'm not a mechanic, so please make an option where the car is prebuilt.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the radio and music playback features. Common issues include glitches, crashes, and difficulties in importing songs, particularly for users with newer Android versions. While some players appreciate the potential of the music system, they are eager for improvements and more user-friendly options to enhance their gaming experience.
- “This game is tremendous but I encountered a problem with the radio... it does not play mp3 music please try to fix this, but otherwise it's a great game, I highly recommend it ❤️”
- “It's a great game but please create speed bumps and some of us need to stance our car and buy new cars so please add some of those things I said. Good luck in your coming update and about this new update I like it but it's hard to play music.”
- “This is a great game, but can you please add a radio player so you can play your own music please.”
- “The game is great but is boring; if you could make more cars and trucks and traffic so it doesn't look like a sheep that is lost and also increase the map please. I can't even play music... your game doesn't deserve stars.”
- “I really love the game but I have an issue: the radio is not working. It's not playing the song I've put; I think it's a bug, so please fix it.”
- “Love the game so far; however, I can't listen to the music on the radio. I drag the mp3 files into the music folder, but when I try and listen, it doesn't work.”

The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, which many players find intrusive and frustrating, often leading to crashes and gameplay interruptions. While some users are willing to pay a small fee to remove ads, there is currently no option for this, and the excessive ad presence detracts from the overall experience. Players have suggested implementing a more balanced approach to ads, such as offering in-app purchases or reducing the frequency of non-rewarding ads, to enhance gameplay enjoyment.
- “This game is very good to play; it has no ads and stuff. It would be even more fun if it had multiplayer where you can help your friends!”
- “No ads; the best game ever.”
- “The one and only problem with this game is that it's based entirely on advertisements.”
- “I would absolutely pay up to $5 to make the ads go away if I could, but unfortunately there is no avenue to do so (other than airplane mode, but I'd like to support this game).”
- “I understand that we as players watch ads for rewards, but there are also ads that show at the top of the screen; they don't benefit us with anything.”

The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players expressing a desire for a more immersive narrative that includes character backstories, such as the protagonist's relationship with their grandfather. Many reviewers suggest adding a storyline that provides purpose beyond simple tasks, as well as more diverse missions and interactions with AI characters to enhance the overall experience. Overall, players feel that the game would benefit significantly from a richer narrative and a more populated world.
- “Can you add more vehicles and maybe add a junkyard to find an old 1965 Buick LeSabre to fix up? Also, can you make more lore and story for the character and his grandpa, so it tells more of a story and explains how he lived and who he was?”
- “This is an amazing game! It can teach you many things about cars. In the next update, you should add some other cars and people, as well as missions given by people, because this way is boring—being alone with no other cars.”
- “Last but not least, add story mode to make this game more immersive. We can't just build the car engine and take a delivery job without any purpose.”
- “This game is interesting, like my summer car for mobile, very impressive, but I think if you worked harder and added a storyline and more vehicles and... human beings!!!!!”
- “Can you make more lore and story for the character and his grandpa so it tells more of a story and explains how he lived and who he was?”

It's amazing, but I am sad that I had to reinstall the app. Besides that, I got stuck by the bridge with my moppet; it's not cool because I had to walk to that, which was far. :( Fix that to the reset progress and the bridge must be a bit lower; I got stuck.”
