First of all this set is huge! The instructions are clear to follow however and set up isn’t too difficult but takes a little while! My 7 year old was amazed as it looks very impressive when built. Whole thing feels very sturdy and is made well, it comes with 4 hot wheels cars and a garage that holds 140+ so it’s looks a little empty if you don’t already have a huge hot wheels collection. Would definitely check the measurements on this before ordering as it will take up a lot of space, but worth it if your kids are into hot wheels as my 7 year old loves it, I can see he is going to have many hours of fun driving round this garage. You can start playing straight away with the 4 cars that are included along with a jet plane, It also comes with a gorilla that climbs up the side of the elevator to try and swipe the cars and a racetrack on the other side. my husband (who is 40 years old) is currently reliving his childhood playing with the ultimate garage with my 7 year old. The RRP is quite high but once you build and see the finished product you can understand why, firstly due to the size and there are a lot of opportunities for imaginative play. Would make a great Christmas or birthday present!
Took about 20 minutes to out together. Very clear instructions. Battery powered lift holds up to 23 cars and you choose which level by the click of a lever. Car wash, and car detailing arms. Ramps are fab, my son races 2 at a time.
We love this!! It’s huge! It took some putting together but my son and nephew are huge hot wheels fans and they have not stopped playing with it for the last week! My son has got all his cars out to play and it is something he will play with on his own or with others x
When receiving the product, I was surprised at the size of the box. It is on the heavy side. On opening: Pieces are in numbered bags and the larger parts unwrapped. Instructions: Are easy to follow. The build: Building the product was fun. It was surprising how big the build became. Pros: It is an exciting toy. Kids do love the races and the part when the cars are flipped off the track. Tracks can be added for more fun! The King Kong and the detachable plane addition is unique and fun. Being able to have a continuous loop with the Hot Wheels cars we do have is fun. Cons: The size of the toy is very big and does take up a lot of space. Some cars fall and get jammed in the King Kong spiral (this includes of the cars the set came with). Other cars don't make it under one of the tracks. Some cars flip upside down when coming to the spiral. ( happened often) It would be better to have a warning on the box that some cars are not compatible with the set rather than only in the instructions at the end. Overall, lots of laughter was had.
I was so happy when I received this toy! Item was easy to assemble, instructions were straight forward. My son has had hours of fun playing with this toy, I would definitely recommend this product!
Lovely race track while it lasted not very sturdy against my not so little one. The gorilla broke but he still loves playing with it regardless. The plane was a massive hit with him!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The first thing to note is that it is big! It comes in a big box, so if you’re not having it delivered and plan to collect, then you will need a car with a fairly large boot.
Looking at the picture on the box, I was thinking it would be time consuming complicated to assemble... however, I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to assemble. The instructions are clear and concise, and directs you to clearly labelled bags/parts. Everything goes together easily and without effort. One thing I did notice is the quality of the parts, no rough or sharp edges and good quality plastic. I actually enjoyed making it. Most of the stickers are already on it with only a few to stick on yourself, which was something I was very grateful for as I do not enjoy or have the patience for this part of toy assembly much.
Our son absolute loves it and has spent many hours playing with it. It's various 'Zones' and areas for the cars enable him to create different scenarios for his games and stimulate his imaginations, so it doesn’t look like he will grow tired of this anytime soon. He particularly likes the detachable space plane that he can put his cars in.
Highly recommend to anyone who's child likes Hot Wheels or toy cars.
