When are you able to unlock the junkyard? Or is it just broken right now?

If you just started, it's like around level 15, but I'm not sure. I never go there until I can repair body panels, which is level 35. Three profiles complete.

Aaaah. Got it. I literally quite playing for a while because of the lack of stuff to do. I never really thaught that this game would be such a grind. Thanks for the info. It was actually a big help.

For me the junkyard is just not worth the effort the parts and cars there are just too far gone to be of any use, I just do all jobs by buying new parts the time saved by doing that is worth the extra coxt you can get more jobs done quicker by not faffing about trying to repair parts to the requied level, even at 95% repair chance it;s just too random as to wheter you will end up junking a part and so end up having to buy it anyhow.

Well if you feel like that after 7.9 hours, it's probably that this kind of game is not for you.
Many true games involves a serious grind anyway (past or now), in contrary of currently many mobile mini games that are probably more instant gratification based.

Anyway, if you are still interested to play it, few hints to maybe keep you going
Lack of stuff to do :
You probably have unlocked barns. Barns are nice for that very reason

Barns [as opposed to junkyard] may give you a very nice opportunity to get a chassis that is still between 100% to 80% for you to still make a nice restoration for selling the car (due to the colors of body parts you change while waiting the levels to paint and repair all). the beauty and difficulty of barns revolves around your own observations of the car exterior, the understanding of the % bars on top to know which are really important for you in order to have a fairly nice restored car.

I just love the gratification of seeing the car I carefully chose from that dirty barn beeing a nice gem after all, and I have truely mainly replaceable mechanical parts to deal with, and in the end I have a nicely restored car (my first keeps) or if I poorely failed in my choices, I can still make average to good money anyway restoring it.

Also, about the lack of things to do, probably also may revolve around how you do things to motivate you. Like keeping low percentage parts to place in low % requirement repairs, to max out your incomes (poor customers of mine....) I just love to pile up parts and be able to repair without buying anything.

But still, you should also note that in order to lvl up, you really need the XP from the repair orders.
Anyway, have fun with your gaming, whatever game you play

You have to click on the map icon in your storage, than a window opens and you can choose to place it on the map.

Nah with you saying thanks (for one thing, because it's a rarity those days...) and admitting learning things from others, that puts you in a way better and higher category than what is usually the "noob" category.

Dumb double post from me... sorry about it, it's just to make sure OP sees it.

New barns maps can be obtained either for a lvl up, or you can get them from random crates you get from completing jobs.

Note that it may be wise to not waste your early unlocked barns, unless you have over 30k $ to make sure you can buy a car to restore... early on those barns won't do much good if you go there "just to take a peek" and buy nothing.... it will simply waste a barn... at least IMO.

Anyway, I hope you can still go over the "grind" and find some fun with the game
