    Users generally praise the game's graphics for being detailed and realistic, especially the car interiors and physics representation. However, many suggest improvements such as brighter headlights, higher quality textures, more environmental details, and additional vehicles and NPCs to enhance immersion. Overall, while the graphics are good and smooth, players look forward to further upgrades for a richer, more dynamic visual experience.

    • “The game's physics, graphics, detailed and functional interiors make it outstanding; I highly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of driving simulators.”
    • “This is the best game I have ever played—best graphics and I like the way you can build your own car.”
    • “The game is superb with gorgeous graphics, but bring more stores and truck tuning parts for interior or mod adding functions.”
    • “The game is good but there is no traffic, no other vehicles and not the best graphics. Can you fix that?”
    • “It's a good game but graphics are bad and it would be nice if you had added traffic and rules like if you pass the speed limit you get a ticket and add robots, a city, cops.”
    • “The game is laggy on my device even though I lowered the graphics and turned everything off.”

    The gameplay is highly praised for its realistic and immersive mechanic simulation, offering detailed car repair and maintenance experiences that educate players. However, users frequently request more variety, including additional jobs, cars, map expansions, multiplayer modes, and gameplay features like suspension physics, crash damage, and AI traffic to enhance engagement and replayability. While the gameplay depth appeals especially to mechanic enthusiasts, beginners may find it challenging, and some users report bugs and balance issues like high part costs and durability.

    • “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 parts installing and dismantling is quite a nice touch to the game and the shift & gas mechanics is somehow realistic.”
    • “This game is one of the best mechanical games but I wish that the car had air-conditioning so that in the winter you can use it to clear the window fog and also to bring back the feature to open and close the window and to also be able to customize your springs by taking out the wheel.”
    • “The game is very good but there is so much more that needs to be done: lower the price of parts because the money earned is too low to afford them; add more cars to restore, barn finds, and bigger maps with more shops and garages; improve suspension physics and add more mechanical details; allow players to do more to their cars.”
    • “Played the game for many years now, but recently the ads constantly crash the game. Antifreeze and brake fluid don't last nearly long enough, nor do parts; they need much more durability to keep the game playable. Otherwise, the truck breaks down quickly and players can't afford repairs, which halts gameplay. Also, the brake fluid bottle won't fill more than a quarter of the pump.”
    • “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 add an option where the car is prebuilt.”
  • music

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    12% positive mentions, 76% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    Players appreciate the inclusion of a music radio system but report significant issues, such as the radio not playing selected MP3 files, song mismatches, distortion during driving, and freezing when choosing or ending songs. Many suggest making it easier to import music directly within the game and improving overall audio quality for a better immersive experience.

    • “This game is actually one of the best Android games; its in-game functions are outstanding. However, I am disappointed that although the developer added a radio feature, we cannot easily add songs because our Android devices don't allow adding songs to the game data folder. I hope this issue can be resolved soon so we can enjoy the feature.”
    • “I really love the game but I have an issue: the radio is not working and doesn't play the songs I've added; I think it's a bug, so please fix it.”
    • “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 and I highly recommend it.”
    • “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.”
    • “But can you please fix the mp3 player? When you drive the music gets really distorted and sounds really bad.”
    • “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.”
  • monetization

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    5% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 95% negative mentions

    The game's monetization primarily involves optional ads that grant rewards, which many players find fair and non-intrusive compared to constant ads in other apps. However, some users feel the reliance on ads is excessive, with limited alternatives to remove them, occasional ad-related crashes, and occasional inappropriate ads. Overall, while the ad system is generally well-handled, players suggest improvements such as better reward balance, fewer ads, and additional in-game monetization options.

    • “The one and only problem with this game is that it's based entirely on advertisements only.”
    • “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.”
  • story

    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 18% negative mentions

    Players find the game's current story and progression lacking, expressing a desire for a more compelling narrative with missions, character lore, and varied activities beyond repetitive car repairs and deliveries. They suggest adding features like towns, NPC interactions, marketplaces, multiple vehicles, and a more immersive world to create a richer, purposeful gameplay experience. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, users strongly recommend developing a deeper story mode and diversified objectives to enhance engagement.

    • “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.”
    • “Can you add more vehicles and maybe add a junkyard to find an old 1965 Buick LeSabre to fix up and keep in the game? Also, can you develop more lore and story for the character and his grandpa, telling how he lived and who he was? Maybe make it so the grandpa owned two cars and you have to recover them from the junkyard, including new engine, suspension, doors, and seats parts.”
    • “I wish the game had a stronger sense of progression and a compelling story that makes players want to find out what happens next, rather than just constantly repairing the car, earning money, and repeating the same cycle.”
    • “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 is actually a great game, but you need to improve this game with a good map, cars passing by, AI people with whom you can communicate when buying things, storyline, and more places to explore. Being the only person in the city makes it feel boring.”
    • “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, and missions given by people, because this way it's boring being alone with no other cars.”
  • stability

    The game runs well on weaker devices offline but suffers from frequent bugs, glitches, and crashes that affect gameplay stability, such as freezing during key moments and falling through the map. While users acknowledge it is a promising beta version, they emphasize the need for optimization, bug fixes, and improved stability before full release.

    • “Runs great offline on weak phones.”
    • “Good game but constant freezes and crashes cause data loss.”
    • “My game freezes randomly when I'm driving and standing, so please fix it!”
    • “It freezes after a minute, then I can't play unless I restart the app.”
  • optimization

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    21% positive mentions, 58% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    Players appreciate the game but frequently request improved optimization, particularly for performance enhancements like engine upgrades, turbo, and suspension tuning. Many suggest adding more customization options, new cars, and expanded map features to enrich gameplay. Overall, better performance optimization and deeper customization are seen as key improvements to elevate the experience.

    • “Although I do wish they would update it and add performance parts, better customization options, and new locations (maybe even barn finds), other than that, this game is excellent.”
    • “Game has great potential; it would be better if we had more performance parts to add to the truck and suspension tuning.”
    • “So hear me out, JadoGames: the game Pickup is almost perfect but the pickup is quite slow. I was wondering if you could add performance parts for the engine of the pickup. I hope you add this and I love this game.”
    • “Needs some optimization for aiming and it would be nice if unfastened parts had a red shade or something so you know they aren't attached.”
    • “Better optimization would improve the game a lot more.”
    • “If you add more trees then it looks better and add optimization in this game.”
  • grinding

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is considered tedious and slow, especially early on when earning money for car maintenance is challenging. Players suggest adding more jobs, farming elements, and vehicles to reduce the monotony and enhance engagement. While some find the grind frustrating, others appreciate the survival aspect but desire more content and updates to make progression less repetitive.

    • “Grinding for money is frustrating because everything is expensive, making it tedious to progress.”
    • “Early on, it’s tedious trying to earn enough money to maintain the car; I had to play without a cooling system and brakes for a while.”
    • “Walking is so tedious and the game is frustrating; I played only 4 minutes and deleted it.”
  • humor

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Players find the game’s humor enjoyable and entertaining, often highlighting amusing moments despite some frustrations with gameplay mechanics like the inability to reset progress and occasional navigation issues. The lighthearted tone adds to the overall fun, though users suggest improvements to enhance the experience.

    • “Lol it's funny when I lost my starter so I had to reset but I forgot there is no reset lol. Why don't you add a reset and I'll rate this 5 stars. 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 far. Please fix the reset progress and lower the bridge as I got stuck.”
    • “I give 4 stars because I like it. My friend and I love offline multiplayer connection games for a good experience. The game is nice and funny, so it would be a pleasure to have offline multiplayer connection in this game. Thank you.”
    • “This game was funny and enjoyable. However, only one thing is not updated - please update the cost of jobs. Making money is hard in this game I like the vehicle models ❤️ Thanks for the comeback ”
