I did buy this just because of the things you can buy and the many different things to do. And mostly because you don't have to click your head off and do it as fast as you can! I'm not very good at the games that depend on speed, so I usually go for the ones that have a relaxed mode. This seems to be only relaxed, however, you can go as fast as you like.

I did buy this just because of the things you can buy and the many different things to do. And mostly because you don't have to click your head off and do it as fast as you can! I'm not very good at the games that depend on speed, so I usually go for the ones that have a relaxed mode. This seems to be only relaxed, however, you can go as fast as you like. Lots of upgrades and different things to buy and do. So if you would like something that won't upset you, this may be for you. One thing that might be challenging is that you have quests and things to buy and many choices, so you have to decide what to spend your money on. I am enjoying it! It does actually make you think, but so far, it seems that it is mostly your decision what you upgrade or buy! I like it! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is not a time management game as there is no timer. I am enjoying it and spent a credit on it despite, or probably because of this. There is a lot of clicking involved, but it is at your own pace and you aren't forced to do a million things at once, though you certainly could if you wanted to.

It is very like the old Fix-It-Up games, which I had enjoyed quite a bit; you repair cars or you ...Show more

This is not a time management game as there is no timer. I am enjoying it and spent a credit on it despite, or probably because of this. There is a lot of clicking involved, but it is at your own pace and you aren't forced to do a million things at once, though you certainly could if you wanted to.

It is very like the old Fix-It-Up games, which I had enjoyed quite a bit; you repair cars or you can buy them to fix and sell. I'm not sure why other reviewers complained about the tutorial length, as I went through it in just a few minutes. I do agree the "trends" board is difficult to figure out, but once you buy the paint shop, which allows you to start making a decent profit on flipping cars, the trending item has an icon next to it, so you always know what to choose. There are five trends altogether and each one you use adds a hefty 20% profit to the resale price. The game does give you some tasks to do for extra cash, but appears to be extremely open ended with no distinct ending.

Overall, I'm finding this a nice relaxing way to kill some time and well worth the credit I spent, though I probably wouldn't have bought it without the credit. As always, your mileage may vary so try before you buy. Show less

I recommend this game!

The fact that there are many little details to unlock in this game gives it 3 stars, but that's where it really ends. The music is never-ending and I turned it off after about 15 minutes. This is an open-ended game really. There is no timer - you work and build at your own pace. There aren't any different levels. You merely keep leveling up as you play.

The fact that there are many little details to unlock in this game gives it 3 stars, but that's where it really ends. The music is never-ending and I turned it off after about 15 minutes. This is an open-ended game really. There is no timer - you work and build at your own pace. There aren't any different levels. You merely keep leveling up as you play. This makes it rather boring in my book, but it's also mildly addictive to repair and refurbish cars so you can work toward the next upgrade. Many of the elements of this game are reminiscent of the Fix-It game series, which was far better than this. There is no real story line here, no varied locations, not even a pause button! Click on the gear symbol to be taken to the options screen and the game keeps playing behind you. But, as I say, there is no way to lose this game and no one gets angry or drives off on you, so there is no worries about letting it run unabated. I'd say, it's an okay time waster if you have a credit. Not sure I'd recommend it beyond that. Show less

This would be a great game if there was a time limit or a final goal to accomplish. The idea of upgrading and buying this was great. The game play was great. Sadly after an hour I just felt like I was going in circles. The same tasks kept popping up. There just wasn't enough to keep me going. The game itself was great just didn't have enough going on for me.

I don't recommend this game.

I found this game very bizarre.
The tutorial went on for ages, "click this, click that, get this, get that." It didn't really seem helpful.
Then it went on about "trends" in cars, but I had no idea how to make these trends.
It just seemed to me that you did the same thing over and over and over and over.

There didn't seem to be levels, but just on-going servicing and washing cars.
The graphics were quite poor as well.
Quite a poor game. Show less

Unfortunately this was not the car fixer game I thought it was going to be. The thing that I found very annoying was that you had to open the clipboard / list EVERY 5 seconds or so because the game did not indicate when new cars were available to add to your queue..... and then every time you opened the list, you had to select the cars you wanted to work on, then wait until they showed up.

To earn enough money to purchase the next building took forever...even with buying and selling cars, it took way too long.

This is not a fun game. :-( Show less

This game is so much like the Fix It Up Kate games which I loved!!!! This one sadly is missing the story line and makes you open windows for every car. It really is not a TM game which is my favorite genre. If you "fix it up" I will be back to buy it. Go for it dudes!

I don't recommend this game.

I wanted to like it cos I enjoy TM games but this is dull. It's the same thing over and over. You make enough money to buy another building and then you do the same thing over and over.

It's not fun

I don't recommend this game.

Played through the 60 minutes and I can't spend any money on it.

This is a somewhat free-form, sim type game. The pace is quite slow, akin to a pay to play game about halfway through.

Buy a garage, fix cars.
Buy a car wash, clean cars.
Buy your own cars and fix them. Early on, you get very little money for this.
Buy a paint shop... this is when the concept of trends (introduced early on) ...Show more

Buy a paint shop... this is when the concept of trends (introduced early on) FINALLY comes into play. If you paint a car the trending color you get 20% more money.

About the time the game started picking up speed, my demo ended. Oh well.

BTW, what's the point of advertisements? The game offers no explanation, unless i missed it. Show less
