Product Description


A dream-come-true for little mechanics!

This realistically detailed truck engine comes apart into 62 authentic parts that kids can "fix" and put back together.

Take everything apart piece by piece. Check the oil. Check the spark plugs. Remove the engine cover and check the engine. Lower the stilts to jack up the vehicle and then replace the wheels, brake discs, and shock struts.

The steering wheel features a button for honking the horn, the headlights actually light up, plus there's an ignition button for firing it up and a lever for switching from park to reverse to neutral to drive - all with realistic sounds.

It even comes with a working key fob!

Designed with a storage slot for the included tools and chunky parts that are just right for the youngest mechanics, the My Auto Shop Engine Builder set is an ideal, early introduction to the thrills of engineering.

    My Review of My Auto Shop Engine Builder

    I love all of the details and the multiple different ways to play with it. My 3 year old niece loves to help her dad "fixing" things in the garage. It's a great way for her to have her own thing she can fix. She easily grasped the concept of unscrewing the screws. They are a little long for her but that just creates more challenge and eventually she can "level up" but she enjoys unscrewing and screwing the pieces. She also loves to pretend she is driving. My only complaint is it isn't very steady so it often tips or moves around a lot when she is pretending to drive, and she is not driving aggressively. Overall would recommend if you know a child who loves to fix :)

    I bought this for my 2 year old grandson who is completely obsessed with everything truck and car-oriented. I think this is a toy he can grow into. Right now, he is all about the horns, lights, key fob, shifter and steering wheel. He hasn't quite grasped the tools for breaking down and rebuilding the truck - but that will come as he grows older. Great product!

    Purchased this gift for my best friend's grandson. He is almost 3 and loved it! He enjoyed all the "real" engine sounds and the variety of pieces he can take apart and play with.

    Arrived broken. Unusable. I have tried to call and emailed 3 times. No reply.

    Note from Fat Brain Toys:

    There’s no way around it – Receiving a broken toy in the mail is extremely disappointing. And while we take pride in our efforts to prevent that from happening, accidents, though infrequent, do happen. If anything you order arrives broken, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-590-5987. Though we can get pretty busy during the holiday season, we are always happy to help any way we can!

    We purchased this toy for our 3 and 5 year old Grandsons for Christmas. They haven't stopped playing with it since unwrapping Christmas Day! Very sturdy and great quality with plenty of parts to dismantle and reassemble including removable tires. The working key fob is a brilliant addition. Very realistic engine. (The boys Dad is a Ford master mechanic who gives the toy a thumbs up!)

    We bought two of these Auto Shop Engine Builders for our two great grandsons ages 2 & 3. We gave them to the boys on Christmas Eve when there were a multitude of other toys to be unwrapped. The boys paid little attention to their other gifts but "drove" these toys all evening all over the house. They caught on right away how to loosen the bolts and started taking the Builders apart, but we discouraged this until they each got home since there are 62 pieces each and we certainly didn't need those all over the floor with the parts getting mixed together. Hint: assemble the toy before you give it and save the assembly book for the parents so they can show the child how it goes back together the first time. After that, the kids can figure it out on their own. After assembly, the toy will fit snugly back in the box except for the handle which can quickly be added after the box is opened. Great toy. I can't imagine any kid of either gender not loving it.

    This was a birthday present for my 3 year old great-grandson. He received a lot of toys for his birthday, but this was the one he wanted to play with! He really loved the remote control- just like Mom and Dad have! I'm sure he will spend many hours playing with it, taking it apart and reinstalling the parts.

    Should come with radio that has options for preloaded early education music. The key fob should start play sound as if engine running.

    The screws are hard to line up for my 3 years old so he gets frustrated with it or angry with it easily but he does like the other parts of the engine.

    While this is a bit older toy for the 1 year old, He loves playing with it along with his Dad. They put the smaller pieces up and as he grows older, they will incorporate them into his play and it will become almost a new toy for him. It appears to be some fun bonding time for Dad and son.

    Very interactive toy. Fairly simple to put together. Given to 3 year old for birthday but older age kids were just as interested.
