No explaination as to what you need to fix on the vehicles, All it says is that there is a broken vehicle. Aswell when you pick up the tools all of the bolts glow a green color. There are so many that you cant tell which ones you are really looking at when you are under the car.

Has potential to be the american version of my summer car. Only real issues right now are very bouncy cars and a annoying bolt system. The rest I can look past as it is early access. Crossing my fingers and hoping this game gets finished

this game is good but can you make the truck in beta automatic and not have to switch gears to reverse to make it easier and also add a multiplayer with a player model

What is this?.. there isnt much point to this?. drive around in a very buggy pickup collecting cars.. the repair process makes no sens.. this was put together far to quickly looking for a pay out, it looks cheap and nasty and plays the same way... Get My summer car if you want a good building game..

If you are considering buying this game because you like the technical side of cars, please look elsewhere. As a February 2023 this game hasn't been updated since late 2020 (and the update was a buggy unplayable beta), the discord is a ghost town, and the devs have given us almost no info on the current status of this game. If you are looking for a game like My Summer Car without the crude humor and ridiculous difficulty there are many better options than this. Don't waste your money or time on this buggy crap show. Just buy My Summer Car(almost done development) or Mon Bazou (actively being updated) they cost way less and give you a much better experience. Don't waste your time or money like I did

OK, this game has potential. It reminds me of My Summer Car. Only Fixing other cars instead of just your own. Theres some issues of course considering its early devolpment. I really hope they stay on this game because I like the consept. I bought it and wont refund yet, It needs work, but I am gonna stay optimistic about this game and totally recommend if this gets just a little more love.

Im going to give this a rewiew though I waited a few days to see how things are
Im not going to give this a negative, though for now I would have liked a maybe button. This is an EA game with a lot of bugs, but the devs are very active in trying to sort the bugs and making the game better and they have a lot they want to add. If you like games where you fetch broken cars with a flatbed truck (yep you can winch a broken car onto the flatbed and drive back to the garage) <- Actually quite cool.. Take the engine apart or if thats too much for now, shred some items in the shredder for cash.
Anyhow the game has potential but will take time. I decided to buy the game and support the devs in making a cool game
