What players say
Very educational. Took apart my mother's car and put it back together quite easily. The mechanic charged $4,500 to repair the damage I did but I felt very confident doing it. But seriously, I love this game and it's very relaxing.

sometimes at night when i get bored of cranking my hog i play car mechanic sim 2021 instead, it helps with the hornyness.
Excellent. As someone who doesn't know cars, this, has taught me some things, and I have applied it, of course, its not by the book all the way, but half of the battle is knowing where the thing is you need to fix, and then how to remove said thing and replace it. Great game.
