The value story

The lowest price on record is $13.99, set in September 2026. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 13 in the 16 months tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today's $13.99 at 30 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.

At full price it scores 61. The current cut is what makes it a 65.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 5 percent on value. It is pricier than 88 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 94 percent. Among the games closest to it, Storage Hustle ($11.99, scores 18) and Car For Sale Simulator ($16.99, scores 46) both come in lower.

Players rate it 89 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 77 percent. Something recent has soured the room. 11 of the 799 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written November 2025 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 40 percent of the 377 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 4 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 18 hours. Doing everything runs 78, 4.3 times as long.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

What players say

At first, everything looked great, but the car wash aspect is a total nightmare: cars constantly get attacked and dirty, and you have to travel all the way to the other side of the city just to buy parts. Unlocking the employee hiring feature takes an incredibly long time, and attracting customers takes ages-plus, 98% of them just leave without buying the service. There are many issues like this; it is definitely...

Game keeps breaking. Can't finish body work because a vandal came in and dirtied the car during the body work and it wont let me finish the bodywork now. I even washed the car and redid everything. Broken. Lots of stuff like that. I tried to request a refund but the game has been open too long. I've only played about 1 hour but left it running so now I'm screwed.

Overwriting my last review, the game runs fine, if you are experiencing freezing issues try to run D12 in the startup options that steam gives you
