Gameplay

The game is played from a first-person perspective, with the player able to walk freely around the shop and a few other areas. Instead of levels, the game is divided into "jobs" - customer vehicles with a list of problems - which the player must troubleshoot and repair. Upon receiving a job and a vehicle, the player is required to remove, inspect, and replace the relevant broken parts. When a vehicle is reassembled, it may be taken for a test drive before being returned to the customer.

Reception

Car Mechanic Simulator received average reviews from critics, with a 68/100 positive rating according to Metacritic. [3]

PC World rated the game 3.5 stars out of 5, praising the detail but criticizing the lack of variety as a "grind". [4]

Polygon editor Griffin McElroy received the game positively in a video demo, but the website did not give an official review. [5]

PC Gamer 's Christopher Livingston reviewed the game satirically, complaining that "it doesn't offer the most advanced simulation gameplay experience ever" as it lacks argumentative customers, slow computer systems, and the ability to frustrate clients by altering small details of their cars' interiors.
