About
My Garage is a car simulation game where you run your own automotive shop, performing repairs and maintenance on customer vehicles. You diagnose mechanical problems, replace worn parts, and tune engines while managing the financial and logistical sides of the business. The game emphasizes realistic vehicle physics and repair mechanics, requiring you to understand how cars actually work to keep them running.
Verdict
Stripping a junkyard wreck down to bolts and rebuilding it into a drag car is genuinely absorbing, and the hour counts in these reviews tell you the loop works. The crashes, opaque UI and unfinished feel keep tripping it up, and the developer's early-access exit has soured a chunk of the audience.
You'll like it if …
- +you enjoy slow, methodical work pulling a wreck apart bolt by bolt
- +you sink hundreds of hours into project builds like drag, rally and season cars
- +tinkering with mods to expand your garage appeals to you
You'll dislike it if …
- −you want a polished, hand-held experience over learning how cars actually work
- −you need story or a world beyond the workshop itself
- −you're put off by figuring out systems through trial rather than clear guidance
Breakdown
Gameplay
- +Building a project car bolt by bolt from a junkyard shell has real pull
- +Repair and rebuild systems reward patience, with genuine satisfaction in dragging a dead shell back to life
- +The core loop of diagnosis, replacement, and tuning motivates extended play
- −UI hides critical information like which bolt does what or when a part is actually failing
- −Crashes are common enough to wreck sessions and break saves
Depth
- +Hundreds of hours of repair, tuning and racing with strong mod support
- +Players sustain 300–1400 hour playtimes spinning up rally builds, drag builds, and season projects
- +Twenty euros for the depth and playtime on offer is straightforward value
Presentation
- −Presentation layer is plain to the point of feeling unfinished
- −Performance tanks once you load up cars and mods, becoming the bigger visual problem
- −Sound is serviceable rather than impressive
Polish
- −Frequent crashes that can break saves or kick you mid-session
- −UI is clumsy with parts bearing garbled names, no highlighting, and invisible bolts
- −Instability and jank that starts funny before turning genuinely game-breaking
