1. Before buying a part, you should precisely diagnose the problem and establish which element should be changed. Especially in the beginning of the game mistakes made with wrong choice of parts can seriously harm your budget.
2. If you believe you have completely assembled the car and the game still does not let you end the mission showing message that car is incomplete, you should look into your equipment in order to find missing part. Elements that have high level of condition are usually those you have forgot.
3. It is always wise to go for test drive or make diagnostics test, even if it is not mentioned in the mission's targets. It allows us to check technical condition of all parts of the car.
4. There are no time limits and game does not allow to end the mission if you have made any mistake during the car's repair. Plan your actions with caution then and do not hurry.
5. Try not to do all targets in the same time - take care of each part separately instead. In that way you will avoid problems with repeating of the assembling of particular car's elements.

It is what you will see in the first garage.
Moving around the interior of the garage should not be problematic. All items and mechanisms necessary to functioning of the garage are at your fingertips.
View inside the car - a little different from what drivers see every day.There is a couple of ways to get to particular elements of the car:
To reach another parts of the car you can use Car Lifter controlled with the machine in the garage. Using it you can move under the car and check various parts connected mainly with drivetrain and suspension.
Machine designed for controlling the car lifter is in every garage.After lifting car with the Car Lifter you will gain access to:
Process of testing parts comes with two ways. First of them is option of checking condition of chosen car's element individually - to do that show the menu with right mouse button and then choose Examine Conditions option. By clicking with magnifying glass cursor on chosen part you will see (if it is possible) it's proportional condition and the part will get colour appropriate to it's actual condition.
ADVICE: Each item with less than 15% of condition has to be changed - otherwise game will not complete targets of your mission with success!
Checking condition of car's element is hard but necessary work.Other way to check condition of particular components is going for test drive or performing diagnostics test - they show mainly problems with drivetrain, suspension and gearbox.
Shop is one of the most important parts of the repairing process where you often start the operation of doing the job. You will find all parts for particular vehicles types there. To check it's offer chose "Access" option from the computer on the desk and then "Car Parts Shop". You will see complete list of over one hundred parts which you can buy anytime. After choosing fitting element and buying it you will find it in your inventory ("Menu" - "View Inventory") - you can see your property there.
Tires are one of the most expensive parts - but all depends on car's model.There is also option of buying used parts but it comes with some limitations. First of all, this section has limited assortment - you will not find all parts available in the game there and the offer is changing regularly. Moreover, we must repair bought parts before putting them into the car and that comes with additional costs. So purchase of the used part is not always profitable because summary cost of buying and repairing can exceed price of a new part.
Purchase of used parts is sometimes a good way to save money.
Repair of worn-out parts is a good way to save some amount of money, it also let us put worn-out parts in another repaired cars. We can repair both parts bought in the shop and taken out of the cars but that second kind of parts can be repaired only if it's condition is above 15%.
To repair the part we go to the tools table and choose Repair Car Parts option. Then on the screen appears the list of parts we can repair - after clicking the chosen item, a dialog window is shown where we can see planned cost of service. It is wise to check earlier whether purchase of a new part is not a better option.
If you have some free cash to spend you could be interested in looking on service books which help you get better statistics and make the process of tasks' realization faster. You can find them in Learning Books section, after getting to the computer.
There are following titles in the offer:

In the first few missions you will perform car's diagnostics by test drive that takes place on the maneuver square by the garage. It is composed of four parts.
It's time to begin test drive!First of them requires you to test the acceleration - you have to drive through the field with green border as fast as you can. After finishing the stage you turn right and go back.
That is the right moment to start braking.Next fragment is brakes' test - to accomplish it you have to stop the car inside the chessboard marked with red border.
During the slalom it is worth slowing down and perform all the maneuvers precisely.The third part is for performing a slalom and checking condition of the drivetrain - you have to handle a sequence of several quick turns so you should slow down and try to perform these maneuvers accurately by driving through all marked green fields one after the another.
Speed bumps will be certainly a good test for the suspension.The last part of test drive is designed for testing the suspension - in that order you have to get through the stage filled with speed bumps and stop in the end of the track to finish the drive.
When you receive your second garage, test drive is replaced with shorter and definitely more professional diagnostics station which allow you to check condition of brakes and suspension.
In the first place test is for the front brakes.First stage of the diagnostics test is examination of proficiency of the front brakes. In that order drive with the front wheels on the appointed position and press continuously and later hold the braking button, until you receive result of the measurement.
In the second place you will test the rear brakes.In the second part of the test you will check brakes in the rear of the car - analogically to the previous operation.
Now we are going to test the front suspension...The third stage is the test of the front suspension. Do test it you drive on the position and watch the car going through the durability tests.
...and the rear one.Perform an analogical operation also with the rear suspension driving a few meters further.
Chip tuning is a possibility unlocked only after achieving the third garage (Order 44). You can then access a special room where you can increase power of the repaired car with the special program.
To enter the chip tuning room choose Roller Dyno - tune car option.
You will be moved immediately into the car. Use the laptop which you will see (Notebook - chiptuning).
That is the notebook's main menu. You gain access to three various options but only the first and the third one are useful in tuning the car. Second option is a small manual that explains how the chip tuning works.
Program Eeprom is an application you perform the actual tuning with. Task is not too much complicated - by using plus and minus icons below each column you are trying to set all three of them on an equal level. Additional impediment is fact that by moving one column you affect also another one so planning the subsequent moves is a bit complicated. Percentage numbers at a side indicate what level columns have to reach to increase car's performance by that value. After finding a fitting setting press Write Eeprom.
OBD Link Pro is a program that confirms values achieved during the tuning and change them into additional power delivered to the car. Using it you can assure how much car's performance has been actually increased.
First garage looks like most of the buildings that are work place for amateur mechanics. Nevertheless, it does not mean you will not find anything you need to comfortable work with various cars and orders. Apart form car on the lifter in the middle of the room (which is hard to be missed), you will handle also a couple of other tools.
If we are speaking about orders, the most important thing is computer which allows you to buy every part necessary to do the repair and check the offer of used car elements.
Another important thing is the panel which allows you to control the car lifter - by using it you can quickly get to the car's chassis in order to repair defects connected to the suspension or drivetrain.
Garage's exit door gives you access to the maneuver square - you can perform the test drive there which allows you check condition of various car's components.
Table with tools and vise gives you access to the repair panel where you bring chosen parts to the state of usability and use during the another orders.
Oil Container is for filling resources in the jerrycans.
The last thing worth mentioning - even if the least useful actually - is radio which allows us to change the type of music played in the background anytime.
Although the second garage has bigger surface, you will find here the same set of tools as in the first garage.
Door put in the middle of the glass wall lead us to the diagnostics path where we can test every repaired car.
Right by door there is car lifter's operator which allows you to get to the car's chassis.
On the opposite wall there is computer which gives you access to the shop and service books...
...and right next to it there is radio.
The last important element of the garage is a place for repairing the worn-out parts.
The third garage is definitely the most modern garage which clearly marks your progress in the art of repairing cars.
The most important innovation is chip tuning room where you can increase the performance of the repaired car.
Gate allows you to perform the test drive.
Next room is the well known already diagnostics path.
In this place you will repair some of the destroyed parts.
Thanks to the car lifter you will get to the chassises of the repaired cars.
Oil container will allow you to fill reserves of that liquid.
Computer gives you access to the shop's offer, resale shop, bank loan and service books.
And there is also radio which allows you to turn the music on and off.
