Note from the Author: This guide was written before the discovery of Bill Skip as well as some miscellaneous optimizations. A new guide will be coming out shortly.

Hello, fellow humans! If you want to bill your customer's for as little of your valuable time as possible, this guide is for you!

Task 1: Tune-Up

Right as you get into the level, you want to grab an energy drink, shake it until it's red, open it, then set it aside for later. This will be your general fluid. Next, switch to Parts, grab a battery, set it on the floor, and grab a headlight and set it on the floor. Put something in the hood ornament maker. Pull the chain, and open up the hood. Pour the energy drink into the fluid container. As you do this, replace the potato with the battery. Drop Car and Give Receipt. Take the receipt back immediately after. *If the receipt printer has stayed out, after the first print, print out as many receipts as you can and place them on the top!

[section=Task 2: The SLZBOT Special] Switch to stash. Pour the maximum energy on the headlight. Grab the coupon and open the hood at the same time. Once it's open, take out all the parts in the hood of the car. Close the hood and put the headlight back in. Switch to the Left (Back) side, and start pouring sugar in the gas tank. Do it for a couple seconds and then stop. Once able, drop car, give new coupon, and move your hand back and forward rapidly while holding the receipt to give a receipt quickly. Once given, take it back and place it on top. *If the receipt printer is now out, and you didn't already do this on the last task, print out as many receipts as you can and place them on the top! (If you already did this in the last task this is not necessary)

[section=Task 3: Rust Bucket] Open the ornament maker and replace the hood ornament, then take out the broken headlights and replace them with new ones. Grab a new air filter and paint the car when it’s ready. Open the hood and replace the air filter. Drop Car and throw the receipt over. *If the receipt printer is now out, and you didn't already do this on the last task, print out as many receipts as you can and place them on the top! (If you already did this in the last task this is not necessary.)

[section=Task 4: Safety First] Switch to Stash and grab a banana. Then switch to Decor. Switch to the Back side. You want to place the banana in the exhaust pipe as soon as possible. Switch to the side and put in any air freshener. Drop car and immediately throw a receipt over.

[section=Task 5: Worst Day Ever] Switch to Tires. Pour the energy drink in the middle of the hood until you hear a sizzle. Congratulations, you’ve just cooled down the engine without opening the hood! Immediately take out the front two tires and replace them. Switch to left (back) and then immediately switch to back. During this switch, replace the left tire, put a spare in the back, and replace the right tire. Then, fill up the cup with energy drink. Make sure you hold the cup next to the customer so she can pick it up immediately. Drop car and give receipt. Move your hand back and forward rapidly while holding the receipt to give the receipt quickly.

[section=Task 6: On The Lam] Switch to Licenses and grab a license. Then switch to Fluids. Replace the license. Grab a can of gas and paint the car as soon as possible. Switch to the Left (Back) side and fill up the tank for a couple of seconds. Fun Fact - This task is the only one which requires you to be on a certain item category: Fluids, in this case. Then switch to the front and continually grab the license. Drop car and immediately throw a receipt over.

[section=Task 7: Car Show Showoff] Take a tire, a headlight, and the license plate. Drop Car and Give Receipt.

[section=Task 8: The Big Race] I’d recommend switching to Stash for its easily handled items. Take 4 items and hang them on the sides. If you’ve done this fast enough you’ll skip right to the dialogue for paints. Grab the palette and brush. Touch the brush part to the palette and then on the canvas. Hand them to SLZBOT. Drop Car.

[section=Task 9: Gotta Go Fast!] Switch to Tires. Replace all 4 tires. If you’re fast enough, you’ll skip the dialogue telling you to fill the gas tank with energy drink. Speaking of which, fill the gas tank with energy drink! Drop Car and Give Receipt.

[section=Task 10: Flower Power] For this, have 3 flower batteries ready beforehand. Switch to Decor. Get a flower battery, open the hood, replace a regular battery with the flower battery, then take the other two regular batteries out. Switch to the Right side, put in an air freshener, then take out all of the garbage. Switch to Front and put in the other 2 flower batteries. Drop Car and Give Receipt.

[section=Task 11: Chop Shop] You only need to take out 8 things, but you can never be too safe. Take out both headlights, the license plate, the front tires (if you can reach them), the 3 pistons, the battery, and the air filter. Switch to the side, take out a back tire and both air fresheners. If you’re running 100%, this is a good time to grab the hidden glove. Drop Car.

[section=Task 12: Too Many Miles] Take out all the branches and the nest. If you can, grab the air freshener before it starts swinging. Switch to the Left, pull the handle to R, and push the gas pedal down. Switch to the back as soon as the display turns green. Take out the stuff in the trunk. Drop Car and Give Receipt.

[section=Task 13: Sick New Ride] Make an ornament. Paint the car as soon as you can. Switch to the side and hang something inside. Wait for the game to acknowledge, either with “Solid choice” or “I got this custom piece of hardware of the internet”. Switch to Back and place the horn in the exhaust. Place your ornament on the trunk of the car. Drop Car and Give Receipt.

[section=Task 14: Bots on Parade] This task is really hard. If your task is to hang 8 items and display 8 items, do that as quickly as possible. If your task is to hand and display only 4 items, do the same but attempt to do it quickly enough to get a task skip. Paint the float. Drop the float.

[section=Task 15: Lemon Law] This is basically a funnier Chop Shop, so the same things apply. Get the headlights, front 2 tires, license, pistons, battery, and air filter. Drop car and throw a receipt over.

[section=Task 16: Just Married] Switch to back and hang items on the bottom areas - which will be either 2 or 4 depending on what headset you're playing on. Then hang something on the antenna, switch to the side, and hang something in the car. Next, you have to break the bottle of grape juice. I have not found a consistent way to do this. Put something in the trunk (which you can repeatedly grab if your not feeling trustworthy). Drop car and give receipt. Move your hand back and forward rapidly while holding the receipt to give the receipt quickly.

[section=Time-Saving Tips]

• When taking out/replacing tires, you can do it from the Front or Back side if you have the room.
• If you accidentally drop the receipt, you can always press the print button again.
• You can physically jump upwards and start pulling the chain to save a very small amount of time, if you have the vertical space.
• Hit the button to drop the car when the glass case around it starts moving.

[section=Conclusion:] And there you go! When your hand reappears after giving the customer the receipt, that’s time! I hope you have enjoyed this comprehensive guide to speedrunning the Auto Mechanic level!
