It's a great passtime. Being from an indie developer there are some bugs but it does a decent job of approximating (not simulating) the average repair garage. The camera angles can get a little funky when you're tyring to move around the car but I chalk that up as an attempt at realism. Since parts on real cars are often only accessible from certain areas but can be seen from others I can give it a pass.

The reparis are somewhat general but if you have a basic grasp of auto mechanics you'll enjoy this game. Sometimes the programming fails, however, and forces you into a narrow order of operations that is less about reality and more about how the game is coded.

Don't expect to get your ASE certification from the game it's not that specific but the game will challenge you to figure out problems with little more than a customer complaint that says, " It won't start"

Be sure to enable the cursor clipping option or the game will randomly dump to the desktop on a scene change. Other than that it's just a great timesink for a gearhead. I got it on sale and feel it's worth what I paid but not the regular price.

I'd recommend the game to people interested in automotives that would like to get a basic understanding of what it means to do basic repairs and the thought process behind them.
