![]() You do have to remove parts in the proper order through, so if you need to get to a belt pulley, you have to first remove the belt. You just select the part to remove and the game removes it. Unlike its PC counterpart, you don’t have to worry about nuts and bolts. To remove the parts you have to go back to the standard view. The idea itself isn’t terrible, but I was disappointed to see that I couldn’t select the parts that needed to be replaced from here. But tap a button and the car parts explode out and the game will highlight which ones are bad. The game represents poor conditioned parts as rusted, so it’s easy to see what needs replacing. From the engine menu, you get to see the internals of your derelict. Getting past the bodywork gets into the real meat of the game though. You can store cars you’d like to keep, but why? All you’d be able to do is look at them. Curiously, certain colors cost more than others which seem to have no positive effects on your end sale price. Once they’ve been cleaned up, you can paint the car any color you want. You’ll be asked to repair rust spots by rotating the joystick or you can utilize the Switch’s touchscreen to rub them in a circular motion.

You don’t get to build your own cars from scratch, you don’t get to upgrade or modify your shop, you can’t even drive the cars you build. They allow you to upgrade your tools to work on more types of cars, but that’s it. Second, there is nothing to work towards. The first thing you’ll notice is there are no licensed cars to speak of, unlike the more recent iterations of the game. After installing the game though, it was clear to me that they simplified things quite a bit this was going to be a bare-bones Car Mechanic experience. On the PC you have a mouse to highlight and interact with things, not so on a Switch. I’ve played the PC versions and was questioned to myself how they would handle the small details of repairing a car. When I first heard of the port, there was a sense of bewilderment.

It’s your standard fare simulation game as you run a business and earn money to keep the lights on.

Take everything off and put it back on several times. These are by far the easiest and quickest jobs to do.Ģ.) When you are doing an exhaust job. Always be checking your phone and stack them up while you are doing a job. So here's some tips to help you level FAST!ġ.) Take exhaust and/or transmission jobs. I really wanted to be able to restore cars, which you could get to pretty quickly in CMS15. ![]() After getting to about level 20 I was ready to quit.
