Hey! Ever played My Summer Car? It's a game about building a car in Finland. One character, Fleetari, is a mechanic. He's important for your build, but he takes time. Let's see how long, shall we?
Who is Fleetari?
Okay, think of Fleetari as your local car shop owner. You know, the one who fixes dents and tunes engines. In My Summer Car, he does bodywork, paint jobs, and tunes engines. He is also important for MOT check called "Katsastus".
You can find him at his shop in town. It's not always easy to spot, but it's marked on the map. So look carefully!
He's a gruff guy, but essential for getting your car road-worthy. So be nice and patient!
What Tasks Does Fleetari Do?
Fleetari handles several key services. Painting your car is one. Think of it like choosing a color at a real auto body shop. You pick a paint job, and he applies it.
He also does bodywork. This means fixing dents and damage after you, inevitably, crash your car. Like straightening bent metal. He straightens the body with his tools, so you do not have to.
And, critically, he tunes your engine. This is about making it more powerful. Like getting performance upgrades for your real car. Tuning means tweaking settings, and Fleetari does it for a price.
Why Engine Tuning?
Tuning is important because your car starts out slow. Fleetari's tuning can make it much faster. So you'll win races and get around the map quicker. Think of it as a performance boost for your in-game ride.
How Long Does Fleetari Take?
This is the big question. How long does Fleetari take to finish a job? The answer isn't simple. It depends on the task.
Painting usually takes about 24 in-game hours. That's one full in-game day. So drop your car off, sleep, and it should be ready. Remember, you have to pay him when you pick it up!
Bodywork also takes around 24 in-game hours. The same as painting. Dents and damage take time to fix, even in a game. He needs time to work on your vehicle.
Engine tuning is the trickiest one. This can take longer, maybe 48 in-game hours or more. It depends on what he's tuning and the complexity of the job. So, be prepared to wait.
In-Game Time vs. Real Time
Remember, we're talking about *in-game* time. One in-game hour isn't a real-life hour. It's much faster. Usually, one in-game hour is a few minutes in real-time. This can vary depending on your game settings.
So, waiting 24 in-game hours isn't a whole day in real life. It's more like a shorter wait. But still, it feels like a long time when you're eager to get your car back. Waiting may require you to take the bus, borrow the van from your parents or, worst of all, walk!
Factors Affecting Fleetari's Time
Several factors can influence how long Fleetari takes. First, the condition of your car. If it's heavily damaged, bodywork will take longer.
Second, the complexity of the tuning. Basic tuning is faster than advanced tuning. So, simpler jobs are quicker. It's obvious, right?
Third, and this is important, game bugs. My Summer Car is known for bugs. Sometimes, things just take longer than they should. Unfortunately. It's rare, but it can happen. It is a finnish game after all.
How to Manage Waiting Time
Waiting for Fleetari can be annoying. What can you do? Well, there are a few options. You can sleep to advance time. Find your bed and sleep!
You can also do other tasks in the game. Like getting a job, collecting firewood, or visiting the store. Keep yourself busy. Or you can simply stare at the wall, if you want to.
Another strategy is to plan ahead. Drop off your car right before you go to sleep in the game. That way, the time passes while you are also "sleeping". So, it's ready when you wake up.
Avoiding Delays
Can you avoid delays with Fleetari? Not entirely, but you can minimize them. Keep your car in good condition by driving carefully. Less damage means faster repairs.
Plan your tuning upgrades in advance. Know what you want before you go to Fleetari. This avoids changing your mind and adding extra time. You should know what you want.
And save your game regularly. If a bug causes a delay, you can reload and try again. Saving is very important.
Fleetari and Katsastus (MOT Check)
Remember that Fleetari is also involved in the Katsastus, the mandatory vehicle inspection. You need to pass this to legally drive your car. Without it, you can get a fine.
Fleetari can prepare your car for the Katsastus. He can fix issues that would cause you to fail. This is crucial for getting your car road-legal.
So, before going to the Katsastus, take your car to Fleetari for a checkup. It's worth the time and money. You will avoid the headache of failing.

Let's recap the timings:
- Painting: Approximately 24 in-game hours.
- Bodywork: Approximately 24 in-game hours.
- Engine Tuning: 24-48+ in-game hours.
Remember to be patient with Fleetari. He's a grumpy but essential part of My Summer Car. Use your time wisely, and plan ahead.
