### 4/5 — Really really good game but I could use more

*2026-08-27*

I love this game. Don’t give me wrong. It could use a lot of things. One thing is a model like if you’re racing and you crashed it damaged your car and also that you could buy like a dented up old beater second is I know they’re adding more cars, but there needs to be a lot more. Add some American cars like Ford Chevy’s Dodge. Add an auction make it sure the garage can hold more than one car that you can work on at a time. Last thing is modifications like livery’s more parts, faster engines make it to where you can customize the car to be your own

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!

### 4/5 — Ccccc

*2026-08-27, version 3.0.0*

Can you please add free room?

### 4/5 — 🙏🏻

*2026-08-24*

Добавьте Форд мустанг 1967 или 1969

**Developer response:** Пока планируется более качественно представить в игре отечественный и европейский автопром. Полноценно развивать новые регионы сейчас нет возможности, а просто добавлять пару японских/американских машин в порт не особо интересно. Спасибо!

### 4/5 — Bien

*2026-08-04*

Dommage pour les pubs.. sa gâche un peu le gameplay mais le jeu en luis même est bon

**Developer response:** Ads appear every 3–5 minutes, which is less frequent than in most free mobile games. You can remove interstitial ads permanently by making any purchase (even the smallest one). Tap your balance for more details.

### 5/5 — Пожалуйста

*2026-08-01, version 2.31.1*

Я прочитал некоторый состав игры и там написано что вы не будете добавлять авто в игру после 2000 года так вот пожалуйста добавьте в игру автомобиль бмв м5 е39 выпускавшийся в 1995 году, в 1997 вышли новые модели туринг и в 2000 начали выпускать рестайлинг так вот рестайлинг мне нравится больше всего и очень вас прошу пожалуйста добавьте рестайлинг. Играю эту игру почти 3 года играл с друзьями очень нравится и ставлю 5 звёзд заранее спасибо ☺️

### 5/5 — Really cool!

*2026-07-28*

This game is amazing for car lovers like me. I do have some suggestions though. If you try to drive a car in the autodrome, even if one tiny part of your car is slightly damaged it wont let you race. I think that the car should have performance loss based on wich part is damaged and how much. For example if your pistons are damaged you lose horespower, or if your brakes are damaged you can’t stop as fast. Of course if there is damage to a major part the engine shouldnt run. Anyways great game keep up the good work!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback!

### 5/5 — Great game! But I have ideas

*2026-07-25, version 2.31.1*

Great time killer and perfect for long flights and road trips but in the racing feature I think that they should ad damage if you crash into walls ( for example if you have manual transmission on if you don’t sift for a bit you burn you clutch) and if the creators don’t agree with this idea it’s okay I also like the game how it is but please think about my idea.

### 5/5 — Thank you for the jaguar and other new cars

*2026-07-24*

And I love it make it more fun and easy to repair and also new cars are available and please subscribe to my channel or search on safari and look for abelmoters\urban alpha cyber king

**Developer response:** Thank you for the rating!

### 5/5 — Ajout d’un mode de conduite

*2026-07-21*

Très très bon jeu mais j’aimerais un que l’ont puisse se déplacer en voiture pour aller au port par exemple et que si on veut pas et bien on le désactive

**Developer response:** Merci!

### 5/5 — Bitteeeee

*2026-07-19*

**Developer response:** Thank you for the rating!

### 3/5 — Um grande problema!

*2026-07-18*

Gosto muito desse jogo porém ele não tem save, então mesmo jogando no memso aparelho após desinstalar e instalar novamente você perde tudo

**Developer response:** There is cloud save on the App Store in the game. You'll find all information here https://retrogaragegame.com/faq/

### 5/5 — Lovable game, unable to stop playing

*2026-07-18, version 2.31.0*

This is the best game I love. I can buy cars or repair customers and even race against cars. I love it and I care for the developers for keeping game alive. This makes me so happy the game is still here and being updated. I recommend people it🥹

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-17*

Really good game and had a lot of cars. If been playing this game for a while. But the update they just did on this is a little annoying for building race cars. I think we need new cars. Like maybe some American trucks and some muscle cars. And maybe even some over seas cars like bmws,Mclaren, and lambos. The trucks could be dodge chevy ford and gmc. Stuff like that. Other than that the game is really good, def recommend playing.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 3/5 — Recent update changes immediate new rating

*2026-07-14*

Overall like the new update with how wheels and parts placing being shown. But please please please bring back where it says what part has to be done first when reassembling. When taking stuff apart it says what has to be taken off first. But now if you try to put an incorrect part on first it says nothing. Example, trying to put wheels on before brakes. You get nothing saying brakes have to be done first. Please bring back that message🙏. And now certain parts cost gold instead of normal money, not happy about that. Or how dual real wheel now have to be purchased separately, meaning if a vehicle has dual rear wheels you have to buy 4 wheels for the back instead of 2 sets of duals . 6 tires total for the vehicle, at least tell us the tires are missing if that’s all that’s left or something. No warning/message if you mess something up and now parts cost more, easily a worse rating off of those alone.

**Developer response:** Can you send a video where you have all parts and you can't put them to the engine? retrogaragegame@gmail.com

### 4/5 — Great game but…

*2026-07-12, version 2.31.0*

I am so impressed by the quality in the workshop but I do say the driving is a little finicky.

### 4/5 — Open World?

*2026-07-09*

This is a great and very fun way to learn the simple parts of a car, but I feel that once I’ve built the car I want to drive it around. 
Possibly a city map, as it would make a lot more people interested in your game! 
Otherwise, great game and you should get this if you want to learn some simple mechanics! :)

**Developer response:** Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Добавить

*2026-07-08, version 2.30.0*

Можете пожалуйста добавить японские машины а сама игра хорошая играю уже как год спасибо вам если добавите пожалуйста

### 5/5 — MORE CARS UPDATE IN MY VIEW

*2026-07-01, version 2.30.0*

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-23*

Gave me a impossible car

**Developer response:** Sorry you didn't like it.

### 1/5 — Cool game but buggy

*2026-03-22, version 2.28.0*

Got stuck on the third car can’t remove screws.  Won’t screw the hood back in.  Would be awesome if the app worked right

### 1/5 — Jogo ótimo porém…

*2026-02-08*

Jogo não tem save

**Developer response:** Yes, unfortunately there is no cloud save on iOS at the moment due to technical reasons.

### 1/5 — Good game, misleading purchases

*2025-10-31, version 2.25.1*

I like this game, it’s highly detailed and a lot of fun, so much so that I bought an in-app purchase to support the developers. However, in the game description it says “every purchase helps to develop the game and disables the commercial break” yet even after two purchases of a Piggy Bank and Wallet, commercial breaks are still there for me. I’d love to enjoy the game without having to watch a minute long ad every 5 minutes of playtime.

### 1/5 — Anuncios exagerados

*2025-10-06, version 2.25.0*

El app es un timo, a partir de que te pide que lo valores empiezan a aparecerte anuncios hasta para pestañear, vas a disfrutarlo 15 minutos y luego te frustrará todo lo que antes podías hacer ahora o pagas o ves anuncios.
Edit: después de responder los desarrolladores que tiene menos anuncios que otras apps, animo a la gente a que vean por ellos mismo que es lo contrario, tiene anuncios al pasar cada día y tienes que pasar cada 5 minutos o para ver lo que le falta a los coches, que al principio no te lo ponen, como dije hasta que valoréis el juego, ya veréis lo rápido que lo desinstaláis

### 1/5 — READ THIS BEFORE DOWNLOADING

*2025-08-29*

I normally don’t write reviews, actually I haven’t written one before but I had to for this game. I’ve played this game since they only had the base cars; the sports convertible, suv, nothing special. I recently redownloaded as they introduced my favorite bmw. I come to find out if I want to upgrade it I have to micro transactions. This is fine as I understand games need support, but then the game deliberately does not offer a way to purchase all the sports parts and rather sells them in shop spontaneously even though they know what you need and for what car. Money Hungry devs Ruined the game. Deleting and never playing again save your money.

**Developer response:** Rare cars and car parts are a part of the gameplay. They can be found in the store (not catalog) or be taken from a donor car. I am sorry that you didn't like it but a lot of players who like collecting enjoy getting something rare.

### 1/5 — Ужасно

*2025-05-16, version 2.23.0*

Ужасно пытаюсь поменять страну с европейского на Советский и это невозможно в настройках они сделали ужасную игру одна звезда

### 1/5 — Reklam

*2025-04-27, version 2.22.0*

Oyunda param bitti reklam izleyince gelen 1 k geldiği anda siliniyor bug sayesinde oyun başlamadan bitti

### 1/5 — game is horrible now

*2025-04-19, version 2.22.0*

you tweaking with the rates of parts breaking and now the game is literally unplayable i cant fix any cars without piling it like JUNKYARD SIMULATOR is it supposed to be impossible to fix antique cars? because ive been playing thid game since 2022 and its straight up trash now and im never playing it ahat until its fixed where you can actually workon cars instead of hoarding parts that will never be used, nobody told you to mess around with the rng but you completely ruined the game now congratulations

### 1/5 — Great game

*2025-03-30, version 2.21.0*

I got this game because of a review so I figured I would leave one to I think this game is amazing it’s simple and sometimes you need a simple game it’s we’ll put together and works really well I have no complaints so far. Great job developers

### 5/5 — Надеюсь увидите

*2026-08-29, version 3.0.0*

Проект сам по себе прекрасный, он не стоит на месте и развивается, это очень круто, но хочется увидеть в игре полноприводную Ауди 100 вот прям безумно, с ее системой полного привода, что бы не только передний но и полный и разные вариации мотора на бмв и Ауди 100, ну и в целом по больше добавленных авто

### 5/5 — Всё топ

*2026-08-29, version 3.0.0*

Обнова с трассами - считай второе дыхание игре! Даже отзыв написать не лень. Разраб(ы) спасибо! Внатуре львы )

### 5/5 — Ретро

*2026-08-26, version 3.0.0*

Игра волшебная, погружаешься максимально

### 5/5 — Хотелось бы добавить Японию

*2026-08-26, version 3.0.0*

Хотелось бы добавить японские машины ( маркообразные ), и различные другие японские машины

### 5/5 — suggestions

*2026-08-11*

It’s a really good game, but there are some things that you could improve on.
A way to diagnose problems because it doesn’t make sense to already know all the problems. I was thinking of holding on parts to see it’s condition
Part images match their colour condition in the bottom bar
Fluids
More detail to parts(more parts, holes, etc)
Add more parts
More cars
More detail in engine swaps(unscrewing, buy engine lift, etc)
Add lifts to get to the underbody
ADD A ZOOM FEATURE THAT WOULD BE SO HELPFULLLL
Maybe just my preference but a slightly larger recycle and sell button
Left and right side wheels not universal wheels
Separate tires and wheels
Skill tree e.g faster repairs
Screwing has a timer thingy
Overall very good game considering its content and time in the public
Thank you for creating a mobile car mechanic game, this is the only good one!
Just saw the new update, I miss the old font style and and tires but it’s fine.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! The order of assembling the engine is now universal and more correct.

### 5/5 — Крутая игра

*2026-08-11, version 2.31.1*

Уважаемые разработчики! Игра супер и я бы хотел чтобы вы создали либо новый режим либо игру, где надо будет чинить советские и иностранные мотоциклы и мопеды, я ОЧЕНЬ СИЛЬНО люблю мотоциклы и если вы это добавите, то это будет мой лучший день в моей жизни!
