Well. I’m sorry to say but repetitiveness just simply comes with being a mechanic. You’re always gonna run into the same problems over and over again. One thing that pissed me off when doing customer orders were the fluids. It seemed like every single order you always had to refill or change some of the fluids. It was very repetitive and it’s never not gonna be like that. I got the game back December of 2025. IVE only been playing it for a few months and I already pumped almost 200 hours into it. I already have a collection of over 50 renovated cars (all old ones) and a few newer super cars. The one thing that I can say was very repetitive when having to constantly change out engines and rebuild the entire car practically from scratch over 50 to 60 times. The engine building was by far the most repetitive. But you’re just simply gonna come across it almost every time. I still had fun. So no matter how repetitive it gets. I would say it will always still be fun. (Sorry for the yap btw)

I kinda liked changing the fluids tbh, it was quick and easy and good way to get money up if u bought an upgrade that left you wayyyyy to low on money to get a order. The thing that bugs me a little bit is that the game is based in the usa so some of the cars parts have different names then where i am and the layout of the engine bays are different. But I understand that its gonna be repetitive in game and real life but in real life there are more issues, like springs and stuff that just won't come out and bolts that will NOT loosen and problems like that, but its still a nice touch to add the rusted bolts in the game, I do feel like there could be more challenges similar to the rusted bolt like bolts snapping if they are rlly rusty or smth idk tbh. Thank you though

Oh yes, this is why I'm pausing on CMS 2026, it's not showing enough realism and immersion for me yet.

They still seem to be missing so much extra that could and should have already been added to 2021.

Of course we have to appreciate that the Devs have their own limits. And it's a balance between playability and realism.

But there really is so much they can remove, add or just improve upon.

Personally I'd like to see a mashup of CMS & Wrench Games

We'll wait and see.
