    This is the ultimate Mechanic Simulator. You might look at this and think it's just another cheaply made simulation game that devs seem to be pushing out lately but it's not. A lot of hard work has gone into this game and the attention to detail is great. Highly recommended for revheads who love to pull apart cars and put them back together.

    Great game, good graphics. It almost feels like you are really working on a car in your mechanic shop. Menus feel nice and smooth and navigation is easy. Tutorial could be better but its not a big detractor.

    I love the game but I just was wondering if you're going to have the capability of putting different engines in different cars for example new school engine in a old school car

    Great game that's fun to play! A major improvement over CMS 2014 in all areas. The Devs seem to listen to player input and seem to be continually working hard by adding content & features. Even if you're not a gearhead, I think you'll still find that it's a fun and relaxing game worth your time. Recommended!!

    I've put some time in a real garage. By far am I a mechanic. But after working there I've seen quite a bit of work done to real vehicles. This simulator pretty much nails it.

This simulator pretty much nails it. Granted, there are a lot of little intricate things that aren't in the game, and honestly, they would be more of a nuisance in my opinion. They have all the main components and parts. There's plenty of parts to take apart and to replace. They did a great job listening to their customers from CMS2014 to CMS2015. The controls are MUCH better, and a pleasure to work with. The music leaves something to be desired, but that's just my opinion. Overall this game is great, if you're here reading reviews on it, this tells me you're interested, just buy it. You won't be disappointed. Since I bough the game (Steam version) They have released a few updates, and they are for the better. Some things I would like to see in the future if possible, is a way to further filter down parts for ordering. And if I take out 8 spark plugs and they are all at 20-30% condition, if I am rebuilding the car, and I go to put a spark plug in..... It's OK to use a fresh plug! That's one of my pet peeves for the game, but by far is it a deal breaker! But the game, you'll like it. Graphics are good, and controls are much better than 2014. Other than the part picking and a way to narrow down searching inventory for parts. The game has it all going in it's favor. I gave it 9/10 because of the improvements I'd like to see implemented, otherwise it's a 10.… Expand

    Awesome game a lot better than last year.
    A cool feature would be if you couldt buy a car for the money you make and slowly build it up with new parts.

    Even if you don't really care about cars, Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 is a lot of fun to play. I found diagnosing and repairing the various cars a relaxing experience. In a way it felt like doing a 3D puzzle (While learning more about cars in a casual way). Buy this game. You won't regret it.

    3.Cables would be nice. do find the electric problems why its not starting etc.etc.
    4.Multiplayer WOULD be pretty cool (COOP).

    100 % would recommend to anyone who is interested in cars, especially working on cars. If I had a kid, this would be its daily bread. Game requires you to think and analyze. Can get a bit tedious after a while but luckily it is well setup so just when you think it is a bit repetitive, new car type and tasks come along. Very well done!!

    This is an excellent way of learning about cars, even if it is simplified. I now understand a lot more about how cars are put together and look a little less lost when my mechanic explains what he fixed. I also changed my real life cars brake pads myself, though I did do a little more research on the matter than playing Car Mechanic Simulator 2015.

    Cons:
    EXP system a little buggy, always 100 experience points as reward no matter if its for a completely rebuilt car I spent hours on or for a simple paint job that takes 20 seconds.
    Money gathering is a little slow.
    I got kinda sick of fixing brake problems, but fortunately you can decline missions you do not want and the game will generate new ones with no penalty.    … Expand

    Now it' much easier for me to approach towards any upcoming problmes of my classic :)

    I thought the game was pretty cool. There was a lot more features than I was anticipating. I watched this guys tutorial video to see what I should expect and it was kinda cool seeing all the different things there was to do. I'd definitely recommend this game to people who like working on cars or maybe wanna learn about cars.

    This game is spectacular, and the added features are getting better and better. The ONLY thing I dislike about the game's content is the lack of Asian cars.

Even something new like the Toyota GT86 would be a LOT of fun to work on.

    Seeing optional equipment among cars of the same model would be cool too. V6/V8 models, transverse I4/Longitudinal V6, RWD/AWD, etc would definitely help shake things up a little bit.

    An additional race tuning mode like CMS14 would be fun too, but not just drag racing! Give us a track with turns!

    Lastly, implementing a system other than rust to denote damage would be nice. It is unusual to see a completely rusted part surrounded by comparatively clean and pristine parts. Perhaps create a texture showing cracks or even a new mesh with parts broken off in places. For example, on real cars, 99% of all non-aftermarket exhaust systems have surface rust after a few thousand miles, but are in perfect working order. Broken seams and hangers can lead to exhaust leaks; rust would only become a factor in extreme cases where it has completely worn through the metal.

    Very good game that teaches you about car parts.
    After you manage to get 10000 xp you don't really have what to do. You can upgrade your repair chance, or buy some testers and scanners that won't help much. And you can go to auctions.

    This game is one of the most educational video-games in the entire world,
    But it's not the most realistic video-game in the world. (It's just my opinion.)

    And the graphics was probably hyper realistic at the time's standard, But not to today's standard.

    It’s really Car Mechanic Simulator Lite because I don’t think I could actually reassemble an engine from scratch, but I can certainly do so with the help of a nifty alternate-reality interface showing me where each part goes.
