45 of 45 · most liked firstI can't recommend this game, from the images I could already see it's a ripoff from Supermarket Simulator just repackaged into a car version (which I would've certainly enjoyed) however just loading the game it already feels cheap, the UI is extremely outdated and so are the graphics and gameplay. It's clear someone just followed a tutorial and "speedrun" creating this game as quick as possible.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love what you are going for here. BUT.... this game will run you to death. You have to restock, sell vehicles and run the mechanic shop part of things all yourself. The only help you have is a cashier. Again i love the idea of a Car Mechanic Shop simulator but we can do better. - Let us hire more people to take care of task for us. - Let us customize the shop like painting and decorating. - Let us build more.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the same as most simulator games, even looks the same. Feels like this game was made in a hurry to make quick cash or something. I got bored after when I unlocked the vehicles, made big bucks in a few seconds. Took all the fun away.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Even the poorest car looks majestic on a tow truck. In this game, we will have a whole salon selling car parts. The gameplay is interesting, visitors will constantly come in with new requests, new tasks will appear, you will need to arrange the goods, take something, bring something, etc. Everything is just like in a car mechanic shop. So, this is a pretty cool simulator with beautiful graphics and a huge number of items/tasks/visitors. If you haven't played such simulators yet, it's time to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I reached level 51. And I want to say the following, the graphics are really weak, but it's a simulator, so it's okay. There is an economy, but people sometimes give absolutely not logical amounts of money for something, with a price of $100 they can give $150.5 looks a little strange. It's great that there's a card payment option, but unfortunately it's only available at the checkout, and there's also a bug with the game crashing when you take cash for selling a motorcycle or for car service.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game needs to modify many things, including the employees. It is unreasonable for me to hire an employee for 500 per day.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Released? Omg. this game is just not good, customers get stuck at the door. side view at the cashier. no real storage. hire people is way over priced. 500 a day, really???? looks like this game is a cash grab in a hurry. 8 € is not worth it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game feels like it's someone's very first game made ever. I can't adjust the volume in-game, only in windows audio mix. Also i can't change the mouse sensitivity. The core tasks are way too simple. It's also a bit boring to see the same 5 NPC-s coming in & out when the buy and come back a minute later. It can be a good game in the future but right now i can't say it especially for that price tag. Supermarket Together is a much complex simulator game while being free and not having a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is the same as most simulator games. Same looks, same bland looking characters. It surely looks like this game was made in a hurry with no passion at all.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →just a quick money grab no depth what so ever
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hey there, legends! Juice back with another Steam review, and today we’re looking at a game that feels like it was thrown together overnight… 🔧 CAR MECHANIC SHOP SIMULATOR 🔧 Rating: ⭐⭐☆☆☆ (2/5) Alright, let’s cut to the chase—this is just a re skinned mobile game shoved onto Steam with a price tag. It feels like someone’s very first game ever, and honestly, that’d be fine if it were free or at least polished. But for what they’re charging? Yeah, nah. From the moment you load in, the lack…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →everything was bad its just re used supermarket sim
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →FInished everything there was to finish in 2.5h, and wasn't even trying. There isn't much content, and is not enjoyable after unlocking everything.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has consistently frozen on me, its also a fairly short game, maybe 10 hours of gameplay, so id appreciate more items, more vehicles, and a less buggy experience
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i wouldnt bother with this game after playing for a period of time these are my thoughts. 1. no bug fixing updates or content updates since release theirs also no snap grid for placing selves so getting them aligned is near impossible for me anyway and that just winds me up. 2. would be the mechanics garage you can set the price with the customer but when job complete they will pay what they want regardless of what you set same applies for motorbikes sales as well. 3. once you become able…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is a carbon copy of Supermarket Simulator, but done worse in every way. > When you launch the game, you're met with a menu with 4-5 buttons with no title in sight. > Generative AI was used on the store page art & main menu, but that's completely disclosed. > The settings menu is lacking at best, you can turn music on or off, there's no in between > It's a little difficult to place furniture. No snapping, the movement is strange... I'm sure there's plenty more to say. It's a good…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's like shopping simulator than mechanic, than better buy Mechanic simulator.:D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly this is a cheap looking and substandard game that needs a lot of work but zero sign from the dev that they have any interest in making those fixes. Looking at their back catalogue it appears to not be the only one of their games this happens to. Quantity over quality sadly.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice game but crashed on me 6 times today trying to play.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cool simulator of auto parts store. You can try yourself in the role of the owner of auto parts. Sell parts, expand the range and improve the service. I liked the game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is just electronics store simulator repaint, nothing to see here,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Car Mechanic Shop Simulator is a simulation game that aims to capture both sides of automotive work: the hands-on process of repairing vehicles and the broader responsibility of running a profitable repair shop. Developed by Digital Melody and published by Games Incubator alongside PlayWay S.A., the game positions itself between detailed mechanic simulators and management-focused tycoon games, offering an experience that is less about extreme realism and more about balancing technical work with…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A new take on an overly done store concept. One thing that was annoying was the change system though. So many customers would give you too much money. For example if their total was $100, they would give you $101.50.

unlabelledView post →very well thought out game, I would like to see some changes however. 1.better control when placing shelves. 2.a hold to fill shelves as well as a easier removal of items from shelves. 3.ability to sell cars,performance parts and maybe even car audio. 4.more work for workshop ie more than one item per customer. other than those couple things very good game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Has potential. But several things need fixed. The "stocking shelves"is cumbersome. You can remove items by accident while loading. The economy is nice at the beginning but once you can sell bikes that washes out everything else. Just sell those and make thousands in a matter of seconds. The fact that even to pick up ONE item from the shelf it creates a brand new box to deal with. Among other things.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Spanish: Jugué muy poco el juego pero me pareció muy malo, primero el menú parece hecho con PAINT. Por las imágenes me esperaba algo mas guapo pero medio falso, el tutorial es medio no se entiende nada. Por mi opinión y primera vez (sacando el Rocket League) que doy una negativa a un juego pero no lo recomiendo porque no me divirtió nada. English: I didn't play the game much, but I thought it was really bad. For starters, the menu looks like it was made in Paint. Based on the screenshots, I…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very good game 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good management game, it is well made and light, if you have a GPU of 4.0 GB and less it consumes very little graphics resource, barely 1.0 GB of the GPU is used. It's a good game, I recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've basically finished the game already in two hours. Im level 31 and all thats left to do is rinse and repeat the same things until 41 to buy the last 3 expansions. The only thing thats worth even selling in this game is the vehicles - which arent even covered by the cashier - which makes no sense as the cashier costs $500 a day, which is steep. The game starts off really slowly, but then cash inflows so fast as soon as vehicles unlock. the vehicle licenses make no sense, as they are…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →back and forth and on the hummer already, simolator sellers Chinese engines to boys in pidzhlchki and money for perives, the game turned out well, a couple of patches it could not hurt.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Car Mechanic Shop Simulator is an engaging game for automotive service enthusiasts. It allows players to repair and customize cars while solving various technical challenges. The game features impressive graphics and attention to detail, making the experience highly realistic. However, beginners might find it challenging to master all its features. Overall, the game offers a thrilling experience for mechanics fans.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Typical sim game. There are some annoyances such as the amount of change to give back to the customer when it doesn't make sense, and very low profit margins to start. I am sure the kinks will be worked out, but for the price, I'd buy that!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Who buys 1 tire? Apparently 90% of the customers in this game. #CarMechanicShopSimulator #youtube #letsplay #keymailer youtu.be/4qTG1v5IQhk
