Thoughts about the Demo and Full Release
From what I can see, you are trying to make a fusion of Need For Speed and Car Mechanic Simulator. It's not a bad concept. However, I would strongly suggest looking at how the mechanics of those two games work a little more in depth.

There was a lot of thing that were bugging me while in mechanic mode, such as taking tires off rims without removing the whole wheel off the car. To my knowledge, this has never been done unless you've lost a tire on the street.
You should be able to remove most components without having to dismantle so much before the part your after. Prime example was pulling the carb. Needing to pull the fuel rail and ignition system is overkill, and would never be done in the shop.

Understanding this is an Alpha Demo, the paint system could use a massive overhaul. I found myself getting stuck on tools that just fell off the walls. I also found that the colours where limited.

So for these parts of your game, Look to CMS2021 for a proven formula to the garage portion of this game

The street side to this game unfortunately I could not explore in depth as it kept returning me to the shop. I was unable to, either upgrade my car enough, or just simple had not enough control of the car. I found it would get stuck on the lifts. Problems for most lowered cars :) But what was even stranger was that after getting away from the lift, the car started to list / roll. So much so that it did a barrel roll in the shop.

Once i finally got onto the street, and started the race, I noticed that the front end jumped without any input, costing about a 2 second delay. I also found that while driving the course, it felt like an ice rink. I had almost no traction. For some reason the game would not let my use the sport tires to see if my traction would improve. So alas, I was not able to finish the circuit.

I'm not sure if your intention was to have more of an arcade feel or simulation experience to driving, but I would highly suggest NSF arcade style for the street side. And on a closing note. Please save your selves some grief and get licenses for the cars.
