I can't say how practical it is in terms of actual car repair (much less opening your own shop), but I found it to be a very educational experience. At one point, I found that looking under the hood was no longer a magical box. Talking to a mechanic was no longer a pile of gibberish, he somehow started making sense. Being in the repair shop and seeing parts lying all over the place became like a room full of Lego.
I spent like $20 on the 2015 version, and I'll say it was money well-spent.
The only issue I found with it was that there're a lot of repetitive tasks. For instance, to buy or sell each part, it's 2 clicks (or click+enter). Repair a part - another click (or hitting enter). And you can never do them in quick succession - there's always like half a second delay between actions required. In a game where you're buying a beat-up car, buy all required parts for it (and there's like 200 parts per car), repair whatever parts can be repaired and sell the rest, the process of buying and selling became my major pain point with the game. I ended up setting up an autoclicker (x-mouse button control is the right tool for the job here) to go through this click annoyance.
