“Parts are just great!! The shop and service car have all kinds of small tools, the shop has also a tire repair machine. The towing truck has 2 functioning ramps and a good towing device, the same you find on the castles. The broke-down car has a hood you can open, nice... More thinking here. The set includes 3 nice mini-figures which is sufficient. It would have been 5 bricks here too if it was completed with a road ground plate, really the only thing I miss.”

“This set offers a detailed roadside assistance experience, complete with a recovery truck, a service car, and a workshop. Key features include a functioning tow mechanism (with string), room for tools and storage, and accessories like a phone booth and oil drum to enhance play. The build captures a realistic repair scene with well-designed vehicles and thoughtful details, making it both engaging and functional.”
