Is it the real deal? Is this my one-way ticket to a prolific career in automotive repair?

i'll buy it if a cutscene plays after you repair a car incorrectly, showing the driver dying in a comical way

You cannot return the car to the owner and finish your mission until the car is repaired completely correctly.

you dont even get to decide how much to charge people for parts and labor, the jobs come with a fixed price up front even when you dont know what is wrong with the car

also: all of the stations suck on the radio in your garage, but actually that is realistic.

then again there is no classic rock station, so it isnt realistic enough

So could I just match the price to whatever part corresponds? Where's the learning in all this? I want to learn about automotive repair :ughh:

well, kind of? you still have to go digging inside the drat car, so you'd at least learn a little about what parts connect to other parts, and how they connect, and sort of what you have to do before you can disconnect them.

but as for telling if something is damaged, i doubt it would teach you anything, unless you have the power in real life to make things glow bright red when they are broken or close to breaking

oh, also, as far as i know it doesn't touch any electrical or wiring work (besides changing the battery). in my real world experience that is at least 50% of the car problems i've ever had, but hey whatever, you can still go learn where the drive shaft and suspension are if you want to.

you can like look at youtube videos and they will probably be more informative than this game tbh

maybe it's worth 6 bux to you to not have to hear a mechanic talk though, idk

I hear one almost every other day and i'd rather not tbh

And yeah youtubing is probably a lot better but I like learning hands on, even if its behind a monitor

At an arbitrary point you graduate to a bigger fancier garage. I didn't understand my character's journey so this had little effect.
