Community Insight:
We want more car or exotic car to luxury or off-road cars and races.
This is a Very good game, but there should be more custom parts.
Ive loved cars all our life and Im studying to be a mechanic and honestly, if youre brand new to cars and you want to learn basics, this is a fun game to learn on.
Very good game but they need to add more cars and engines.
Its really good but there should be more tuning and performance parts for cars like turbochargers but other then that it pretty good game to kill time. But there should be a freedom mode to go driving around and show off your car.
Love the game 9.8/10 just needs one more thing, motorcycles that would be super fun to work on them please add motorcycles.
We cant find the thing thats missing in our chassis. Thats why its not letting us racewhere can we buy the missing piece tho.
Everything is great all you need in a game.
We love it please add more cars like toyota, mercedes benz, and more sedan cars and also add hyper cars like lamborghini, buggati, and many more thanks we love your game be successful.
Great potential. Hope to see more content added like performance parts and more cars and races to make more money.
As the title says the ads are a little unbearable, we think it would be awesome if the devs implemented the inspection feature as a small payment of in-game currency after a purchase, if you guys need more? You can raise that threshold like many developers now do default is $4.99/$5.99 for ad removal on most in game features something like that would be super awesome & greatly appreciated.
We were playing and the game got updated and on stage 3 the roof rack one is impossible we sat there for 30 minutes trying to figure it out and when Im almost done it says we have to put a different roof the install the rear windows but with the other roof we cant put the roof rack.
We saw a green hand when we went to buy a car it it rarity like it it white it common if it green it uncommon or rare.
We love this game and Im addicted to it but with the port being added we thing it would be cool to import over some American muscle cars.
Its a cool game but its hard to fix cars.
Super fun game to play we really do love it maybe yall you should add ages either American or Japanese style sports cars and maybe online or free roam for other players to see your cars and stuff we have no complaints about it at all.
Not too hectic oh a game fun if you like basic repair.
This game deserves 5/5 stars, the only problem with it is that the game is too simple and would get tiring quickly. Sure you can race your own cars but we want more, what if you added a city or something where we can travel longer distances with fuel consumption. Take the pc game jalopy, Im obviously not asking for exactly that but if you could drive around and go exploring with your car it could be more interesting.
You have to pay money for the cosmetics for cars in game. We think it would be very cool if you could find the cosmetic parts in the scrap yard. Not all of them at once. It would have to something you have to work for / collect over time. Anyway cool game we think its great keep updating. Am excited to see where it goes.
This game is awesome, what is lacks is free play as far as driving your own vehicle, we love the mechanic aspect as well as the aspect you can buy your own new, used, or junkyard car, fix it up and drive it. It would be cool to have far more modifications visually + internally, such as turbo charger, engine swaps, awd/rwd swaps. Then being able to drive our cars in an open world (esspecially online) would be amazing. An online system similar to Car parking multiplayer. Anyways this game has so much potential and Im excited will change to 5 stars are some updates roll out.
Thank u thank u thank u thank u thank u for bringing back our fav childhood game GHG.
Gearhead garage for sure, we love it.
Love the game its amazing. Maybe you could add more interaction with the engines to where you can rev it add more parts like turbos maybe even add a drag engine free roam dashboard. Be cool to even have it open world.
Demasiado bueno us ayuda cuando estoy aburrido.
Could you add a low rider truck? Or just a truck in general.
Add Shops, Players Could Own With Unique Names That People Could Click A Button Search The Name And Buy From That Shop And The Shop Owner Gets The Money, Online Races, Players Could Battle With Their Friends By Giving Them A Code To Invite Them Into A Race When They Put The Code In It Puts Them In A Lobby That Has That Code, Other Then That Just Add Stuff To Play With People Online, Overall A Really Good Game.
Its a very good game for what it is could use work could add more cars make the junk yard Bigger maybe add more parts maybe add like a showroom where you can sell your cars instead of using the sell button also the repair mission you get alway cost more then what the customer pays so you always lose money doing them so we just buy cars at the junkyard and fix them then sell them biggest money maker is the bus you can turn into a truck or keep a bus but makes like 5k profit every one and paint cars not adds $350 even paint cost you atleast double that so we never paint any cars either so we upgraded everything super quick.
They should add where you can hire workers and have more than one car in the workshop at one time.
Makes us feel like Im a real mechanic. And the option to try and start the car to see if it will run is awesome.
We love this game, its simple yet addictive. However Id like to see an off-road test track for the off-road vehicles.
Add turbos and more engines and more parts and for tuning add camber and more stuff like that but other than lack of tuning and parts its a very good game.
This is a great game with good potential, we have always wanted a game like this on mobile devices. For the first hour of us playing this game we were having fun, after that it was just the same thing, repair a car and do it again and again. We wish you were able to get money a different way. Im on day 25 and we still am repairing cars and only have the second garage, we guess we have to repair another car. It would be AWESOME if you could get money from racing. You maybe should add the ability to put a wing or better tires on your car no matter the condition or were you got it or what type of car. We would love that customization for your car. Idk maybe we have too much hope in this game and maybe we just need to wait for perfect game for us to come out. Great game a much potential as seen above.
Good game just needs more cars stuff.
This game is so perfect we dont even want to add anything to this game besides putting this game on iOS put these emojis.
We play this game all the Im im on level 23 and need more please add more cars and different motors.
Although lacking in features is 100% the best free car mechanic game. Would recommend unless you have the paid version of car mechanic simulator.
Can yall make it where we can get different kinds of engines so with can a a small car lots of power.
We would love to see some cars and trucks from our country like a Chevy k10, or Ford crown Victoria, or a first generation Dodge Ram.
LITERALLY EVERYTHING IVE EVER BEEN LOOKING FOR ON THE APP STORE.
We really like the game its really addicting and fun, but Id really like there to be more cars like a lot more idk if its just our level but theres only like 6 cars and Id like to see all sorts of cars like muscle cars sports cars jdms race cars formula cars everything but other than that its a solid game.
So this game is amazing its very fun but one thing you should add is like door panels inside speedometers air vents for cars that are equipped. And pls add different types and colors for interiors like leather seats or cloth seats we hope this gets changed so for now we will give four stars change these things and it will earn a five thx for listening.
This games is pretty addictive and has a great concept where you repair cars, even though there are ads, at least there isnt a bombardment amount of ads on this game. However, there are a couple of things that could beef up this game. First one should be variety and even though there are variety of cars, it needs a variety of engine types like flat, vs, ws, etc and should also have 3 types of cars. One would be a front engine car. You should also add more tracks, 2 would be a mid engine car, and 3 would be a rear engine car. 2 is tuning and upgrading. Even though we could the the suspensions, we need more options to tune our car like the gear ratio and let us have the ability to upgrade our car like adding forced induction to the car and adding better tires. And the final one would be multiplayer. If you guys want to add multiplayer, then you should let us race with other players and set up a car meet.
Do not buy game One of the cars the girl wants to hang sports and we did it and we had to restart the thing multiple in multiple in multiple times and it still didnt work guys please fix this we suggest not buying this game.
This game makes no sense, we couldnt put certain parts on because of this one certain part is installed so we removed that part and we still couldnt add the one part, it makes no sense, games unrealistic.
What can we do with only 4 dollars.
Awesome game, but Id like to see a US version from the muscle car era.
Maybe add some cars with a V6 and also instead of having a broken engine that wont start because of some slightly broken but still works , maybe make it sound like crap when broken but still usable.
