Fixed bugs
Car Fix Inc Mechanic Garage is a solid entry in the idle management genre that focuses on the satisfying loop of automotive repair. You start with a humble single-bay garage and slowly expand into a massive industrial complex. The game does an excellent job of visualizing progress; seeing a rusty, broken-down sedan transform into a pristine vehicle through various stations—engine repair, bodywork, and painting—is inherently rewarding.
The balancing of workflow is the primary challenge here. You have to manage the speed of each station to prevent bottlenecks. While it follows the standard 'upgrade to earn more' formula, the car-centric theme adds a layer of interest for automotive enthusiasts. It's a great 'distraction' game—perfect for checking in on throughout the day to collect your idle profits and decide on your next big garage expansion. However, like many games in this category, progress can feel a bit slow without watching the occasional ad for a speed boost.
Satisfying car repair and transformation visuals
Deep idle management mechanics
Multiple repair stations: Engine, Body, Paint, and Tires
Diverse range of unlockable vehicles and car parts
Garage expansion and customization options
Focus your early upgrades on the 'Diagnostics' station. If cars aren't entering the line quickly, your other mechanics will sit idle. Balance the speed of the painting booth with the engine repair bay to ensure a smooth flow and avoid customer wait times.
Use your profits to hire more mechanics and upgrade their individual skill levels. Higher-skilled workers complete tasks faster, which is the key to handling the 'Rush Hour' events where cars arrive at double the normal rate.
Yes, your mechanics will continue to fix cars and earn profit while the app is closed, up to a limited time buffer.
This game is so fun, I play it all the time to help me sleep! It can get repetitive at times but the main thing I enjoy are racing the cars and being able to see their progress after the mods. I recently got a new phone and lost all my previous game data. I emailed the team and they were so sweet and helpful, they were able to restore my progress. I definitely recommend this game to any car or tycoon lover!
Is this game fun? Yes. It has what I consider to be very good graphics, the vehicles are pretty cool although more is always better. I’d also love to customize my “race cars” at least. But overall the concept is great, and that’s probably a big reason why it’s rated so hi. But holy ads! We all know there’s ads in every mobile game, that shouldn’t surprise anyone. But (especially during events where you compete against other players) if you want to grow with any efficiency you have to watch ads for EVERYTHING. If you want to place high in an event you absolutely have zero chance without spending legitimately 80% of your time on the app watching ads. I’m not sure I’ve actually played a game to date that I’ve found so beligerently frustrating from this aspect. Overall I’d try it but you’ve been warned.
Stop shoving tutorial down my throat and let me play the game. Stop forcing me to hire coordinator. Stop forcing me to hire inspector. Stop forcing me to wake up doorman. Stop forcing me to upgrade repair center. Stop forcing me to spend ad skip ticket for investor. Stop forcing me to wake up doorman again. Stop forcing me to wake up doorman a third time. Stop forcing me to wake up doorman a fourth time. Stop forcing me to build washing room. Stop forcing me to accept an order. Let us get rid of the stupid hand that keeps telling me what to do. Stop forcing me to hire a manager. How do I fire manager you forced me to hire? Stop forcing me to wake up switchman. Stop forcing me to wake up switchman again. Stop forcing me to wake up switchman a third time. Stop forcing me to unlock Japan branch. Stop forcing me to upgrade inspector. Stop forcing me to accept mod room order. Stop forcing me to go to mod room when phase 1 completes.
I genuinely look forward to playing this game while I’m at work. I can’t bring myself to pay $20 to go add free, but i’ve watched over an hour of ads at this point but the rewards are worth it!! Can’t wait to see how it continues to develop!!
I downloaded this game and have enjoyed every second of playing it. However, one day I closed it and now it won’t load back into the game. I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled it and it didn’t fix it at all. I just want it working again!
I have been playing this game every day for the past month and really enjoy it. The problem is it is stuck on my last win in racing and keeps telling me to flip over my cards, which I can’t do. I love the racing part of the game but if I can’t move forward I may have to uninstall the app which is not what I want to do. Please fix!
The car upgrade system is very misleading as these cars will go fast only when they feel like it. How can a car you just upgraded go even slower than when you last race regardless of if it’s a new race or not. This game is ridiculous. Also the manager system will constantly urge you to spend money to upgrade them or watch silly adds just to give EZ coins even if you already have thousands.
I really enjoy this game, but the fact that the manager requirement for a tier 2 speed in the workshop goes up every city, really kinda ruins the game for me. Why not just add more speed tiers per workshop, or make them more expensive each city? Instead of having to rely on paying for manager cards to get the max out of each workshop, in each city
