The game's story is primarily structured around three modes: management, dispatch, and mission, with players managing resources and completing tasks to unlock new missions. However, many reviewers find the narrative shallow and repetitive, as the missions often require extensive grinding in the management mode before players can engage in the more enjoyable car troubleshooting tasks. Overall, while there are moments of fun in the mission mode, the gameplay is criticized for being tedious and lacking depth.
- “In mission mode, you assume a third-person camera and can go around a client's car, checking the tires, engine, fuel level, wipers, power steering, and other such car bits to repair the client's car.”
- “Most missions have extra broken things (for example, if the main problem is a broken radiator, a tire may have too much pressure, or a windshield wiper may be stuck).”
- “There are 3 modes, where you manage your fleet and staff's abilities, a mode where you dispatch units to regions that increase in size, and a mission mode, where you need to investigate and fix faults with customers' cars (a bit like car mechanic sim).”
- “The game is not what I expected; I was hoping to get more driving through the streets and checking the cars for problems. This only happens on the 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.”
- “New missions are only unlocked after grinding quite a bit on control mode.”

The gameplay in Dispatch is described as limited and clunky, with a mix of fleet management, unit dispatching, and car repair simulation that can become repetitive. While some players find it relaxing and addictive, others criticize the lack of onboarding, poor graphics, and bugs that hinder mission completion. Overall, it offers a basic experience that may appeal to those seeking a bargain title, but it falls short in depth and polish.
- “Dispatch is the main means of making progress and expanding the gameplay.”
- “There are 3 modes: managing your fleet and staff's abilities, dispatching units to regions that increase in size, and a mission mode where you investigate and fix faults with customers' cars (similar to a car mechanic simulator).”
- “Overall, while gameplay is limited, this is a good little game, so if it comes up at a bargain price, get it. Even if it just lasts a few hours, the relaxation and addictiveness are worth it for the time.”
- “Awful graphics and gameplay.”
- “Roughly a quarter of your time will be spent on a car mechanic simulator-lite segment of asking a customer for details of what broke and then testing and examining parts until you fix the issues.”
- “Gameplay mechanics are overall clunky, the graphics are not there, and the progression is one dimensional.”
