Very underwhelming game.
This really feels like it was initially planned as a DLC for Car Mechanic Simulator, exact same car models and names from that game, but then the project would have changed during development and turned into a whole standalone game. But the issue is now that everything in there is half-baked.
You get over the basic mechanics very quickly, in the end all you do in the game is cleaning cars, and eventually "fix" the paint. No custom paint allowed, you're stuck with one ugly palette btw. And the whole thing becomes repetitive real quick once you've unlocked every tool.
The UI is a mess, buying cars from auction in a tab that's in the same place where you buy tool and garage upgrade is absolutely tedious to the point that you'll either have to stare at the auction for the whole 3 minutes, or just buy it full price, selecting where you send the car once you're done is also very clunky and the buildings have unclear names. And not to mention that in order to sell cars, you have to use both items in the garage *and* go through the "buy/upgrade" menu to do the whole thing.
The worst part of the game are the bugs, they're everywhere, they mess with your gameplay, there's a good bunch of tasks that you just can't finish in some car models because it would just get stuck with an unreachable area or something like that, the task progress bar is completely wonkey as it can get stuck in a 10%-ish position for the whole thing and then unlock at once when you pass through one specific spot of the car; and then the UI is also full of bugs, I got to sell the same car at the auction like three times in a row because the game wouldn't remove it from my garage after auto-selling it, or it would lock one car at a spot because I missclicked the menu asking me if I really really wanted to sell the car. This really feels like a pre-alpha game or something like that, it really does not feels like a finished game.
And don't get me started on the "Track Day" free DLC, if the original game feels half-baked, this is just uncooked mush that's still in the mold. Physics feels like it's from a game where driving a car is optional, no option to rebind controls for this part, sound is stuck on very loud despite the preferences you might have set before; the only interest is to find which car from the game is actually the fastest/has better handling. But again most of these cars can be found in CMS that has better driving options and engine tuning.
To conclude, you have here a rather boring game at best because of its gameplay that's too repetitive with not that much content, or a tedious one because of all the bugs and bad UX decisions; and not with anything else that could make it stand out. If you had hopes, just drop it and get another car-related simulator, avoid buying at full price, and even for huge deals that are under 5 bucks I'd still say it a bit much for a game that looks like a failed project.
