just a quick money grab no depth what so ever
Menuda basura nada nuevo un monton de bugs cada vez que vendes un vehiculo se bugea el comprador y ya no vienen mas tienes que guardar salir y cargar y luego faltan reponedores mas cajeros en fin he jugado 5h pero por pasar el rato
It's like shopping simulator than mechanic, than better buy Mechanic simulator.:D
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.
Çok boş çeşililik yok bu fırmanın oyunları hepsı aynı sadece yer ve mekan degısık almanızı hıc onermem
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 smart business decisions. From the outset, the game establishes its dual identity. You begin with a modest workshop, limited tools, and a steady stream of customers whose vehicles range from simple maintenance cases to more involved mechanical issues. Each job requires inspection, diagnosis, and repair, but the process is intentionally streamlined. Rather than dismantling every component in painstaking detail, the game focuses on identifying faulty parts, sourcing replacements, and completing tasks efficiently. This approach keeps the pace brisk and accessible, making the experience less intimidating for newcomers while still retaining a sense of authenticity through recognizable car systems and repair logic. What distinguishes Car Mechanic Shop Simulator from many similar titles is its emphasis on the shop itself as a living business. Every decision you make—what parts to buy, how much to spend on upgrades, which jobs to prioritize—has financial consequences. Inventory management plays a central role, as stocking the right components can reduce downtime and increase profits, while poor planning leads to delays and unhappy customers. Customer satisfaction becomes a subtle but persistent pressure, encouraging players to balance speed, cost, and quality rather than simply rushing through repairs. As the workshop grows, the management layer becomes more prominent. Expanding the shop floor, investing in better equipment, and optimizing workflow gradually shift the experience from small-scale mechanic work into a broader simulation of entrepreneurship. There is a satisfying sense of progression in watching your humble garage evolve into a more professional operation, complete with improved efficiency and higher-paying contracts. This long-term growth loop provides motivation beyond individual repair jobs, giving players clear goals to work toward even when the mechanical tasks themselves begin to feel familiar. Visually, the game adopts a clean, functional presentation typical of many modern simulation titles. Car models are recognizable and readable, with enough detail to communicate mechanical complexity without overwhelming the player. Workshop interiors are practical rather than flashy, emphasizing usability over atmosphere. While the visuals do not aim for photorealism, they are consistent and clear, allowing players to focus on gameplay systems rather than presentation quirks. Sound design supports immersion with workshop ambience and tool effects, reinforcing the feeling of being in a working garage without becoming intrusive. Despite its strengths, the game’s design choices may not appeal to everyone. Players expecting deeply tactile repairs with extensive disassembly and fine-grained diagnostics may find the mechanics somewhat shallow. Many interactions rely on menus and confirmations rather than physical manipulation of parts, which can reduce the sense of mechanical craftsmanship. This simplicity is a double-edged sword: it lowers the barrier to entry and keeps the game approachable, but it also limits depth for players seeking a hardcore simulation. Community reception reflects this divide. Some players appreciate the balance between repair work and business management, enjoying the relaxed pacing and steady progression. Others feel the game doesn’t fully commit to either side, offering neither the complexity of dedicated mechanic simulators nor the strategic depth of full tycoon games. These criticisms highlight the game’s identity as a hybrid experience—one that succeeds best when approached with the right expectations. Ultimately, Car Mechanic Shop Simulator is a thoughtful and measured take on automotive simulation that prioritizes clarity, accessibility, and long-term progression over mechanical minutiae. It is best suited for players who enjoy management systems as much as hands-on tasks, and who find satisfaction in building a business step by step rather than mastering every bolt and gasket. While it may not redefine the genre, it offers a solid, engaging experience that captures the rhythm of running a repair shop and the quiet satisfaction of turning broken vehicles into successful jobs, making it a worthwhile entry in the ever-growing catalog of simulation games on Steam. Rating: 5/10
Это могла бы быть очень годная игра, но к сожалению она стала лишь очередным недоделанным куском цифрового мусора на игровом конвейере разработчика По началу вроде было даже интересно в это играть, я развивал свой маленький магазинчик, потихоньку покупал новые полки, расширял ассортимент товаров, дела шли своим чередом, я добивался успеха медленно но верно а потом игра заставила меня стать перекупом мотоциклов, я подумал что это будет здорово и дополнительная копеечка с этого бизнеса лишней не будет, но внезапно обнаружилось что на перекупстве можно делать легчайшие и очень большие деньги. Отныне экономика игры просто сломалась. В моём магазинчике автозапчастей больше не было никакого смысла, ведь содержать магазин и следить за наполненностью всех полок это тяжёлый и низкооплачиваемый труд, в то время когда ты можешь просто перепродавать мотоциклы и с каждой такой продажи зарабатывать больше чем приносит твой магазин за целый рабочий день. Покупать лицензии на транспорт тоже кстати нет никакого смысла. Самый дорогой и маржинальный мотоцикл доступен нам сразу, покупаете только его, заставляете всю парковку и гребёте деньги лопатой. В следующих лицензиях мотоциклов дороже не будет. Про наш автосервис я вообще молчу, это наверно просто какой-то троллинг от разработчика. За целый рабочий день туда приходят 2-3 человека и суммарного дохода который мы с них получаем хватит лишь на кофе с булочкой НПС которые хотят купить у нас мотоцикл часто застревают посередине дороги и не могут до него дойти. Фиксить это можно только перезаходом в игру. Пустые коробки из под покрышек и дисков багуются, могут просто так улететь в рандомном направлении, их тяжело выбросить в урну, почти никогда не получается сделать это с первого раза. Все открытые коробки с деталями при перезаходе в игру закрываются, приходится их по новой открывать чтобы понять где какие детали. Кассир уходит домой по завершению рабочего дня и ему плевать что в магазине остались не расчитавшиеся клиенты, которые теперь вынуждены до скончания веков стоять у кассы со своими пакетами в ожидании чуда. За 4 часа игра умудрилась вылететь дважды, спасибо хотя-бы что в игре есть ежеминутное автосохранение В общем это могла бы быть хорошая игра если бы разработчик был в первую очередь заинтересован в качестве выпускаемого продукта, а не в получении денег с франкенштейна собранного на коленках. Игру нужно доделывать, пересматривать экономику, фиксить баги, но я почти уверен что делать этого никто не будет
