The game's story is perceived as shallow and repetitive, with players expressing disappointment over the limited number of missions and the lack of engaging content. While the game features a quick progression system through "controls" to unlock missions, the overall narrative experience feels underwhelming and lacks depth, leading to a sense of monotony after completing missions multiple times.
“The game itself I don't think has more than 20 missions that you can do.”
“The game is not what I expected; I was hoping to get more of driving through the streets and checking the cars for problems. This only happens in a few missions you get when unlocked, and you don't even drive to the client position.”
“Missions mode: this one is the one you get pitched more, but it's as shallow as a dinner plate.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly due to a monotonous mini-game involving dispatching recovery vehicles, which requires significant effort to unlock new missions. This repetitive icon-clicking mechanic detracts from the overall experience, making progression feel laborious.
“What could have been a novel car repair time-waster is handicapped by the inclusion of an incredibly tedious mini-game in which you dispatch recovery vehicles around a fictional county.”
“It's a rather tedious icon-clicking game.”
“New missions are only unlocked after grinding quite a bit on control mode.”
