Garage Reviews
Eurobricks
“Overall, I give this set a grade of average. I think the building looks pretty realistic but other than the wrecker truck, the other vehicles seemed like an afterthought. Plus this set just does not have enough features to warrant a $100 price tag.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“This LEGO set offers strong value with its considerable size, inclusion of multiple minifigures, and rare parts. The highlight is a highly detailed, albeit oversized, tow truck alongside a sporty van equipped for city transport and a well-appointed red truck cab. The set's garage is divided into an office boasting modern amenities, a workshop with functional equipment like a car lift and crane, and a truck garage featuring an innovative sliding door mechanism.”
