A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop is the limited event store in the lobby where Pit Crew Pete trades six rewards for Nuts and Bolts, including the Legendary Kairo 7. If you only want the car, the important number is 1,000 Nuts and Bolts. If you want the whole shop, the total is 2,109.
The official in-game name is the Mechanic’s Shop, but the useful decision is simpler: work out what you actually want before you start spending. The car, temporary weapons and cosmetics all pull from the same currency pool.
All Mechanic’s Shop rewards and prices

A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop: Where to find Pit Crew Pete
Pete stands on the mechanic platform in the middle of the main lobby. There is no level gate or quest chain. Walk over, interact with him and the shop opens.

A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop: What to buy first
If you care about long-term value, save for Kairo 7 before touching the cheaper items. It is the only Legendary reward and the strongest permanent reason to do the event.
Ancient Visor is the most tempting detour because it can save you from one lethal hit. At 200 currency, though, it also adds another fifth of the car grind if you buy it first.
A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop: Which rewards are easy to skip
Junkyard Shotgun and Shrapnel Grenade are event weapons. They are fun while the event is active, but they are weaker priorities than the permanent car if time is tight.
Checkered Heat Wrap and Checkered Flags Charm are collection pieces. Buy them after your main target unless cosmetics are the whole reason you are here.
A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop: How to earn Nuts and Bolts
Red-helmet mutants are the reliable farm. Toolboxes around houses, garages and other points of interest are extra currency you should grab when they are already on your route.
Ghost Town is useful because several event mutants can appear close together, cutting down the dead time between fights.
A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop: How much farming do you actually need?
Stop at 1,000 if Kairo 7 is all you want. Kairo 7 plus Ancient Visor needs 1,200. A complete shop clear needs 2,109.
Toolboxes give roughly 20 Nuts and Bolts each, so funding the car from Toolboxes alone would mean finding about 50. Mutant farming should do most of the work.
A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop: What if you only have one short session left?
Do not automatically chase the full collection. If you are already close to 1,000, finishing Kairo 7 makes more sense than scattering the balance across two or three cheaper rewards.
If the car is still far out of reach and the event window is closing, choose the one smaller item you will genuinely use rather than spending currency just because it is there.
A Dusty Trip Mechanics Shop: Simple spending plans
- Car only: save 1,000.
- Car plus Ancient Visor: save 1,200.
- Everything: save 2,109.
- Short on time: skip cosmetics until Kairo 7 is secured.
- Already spent currency: stop shopping and rebuild toward the item you actually care about.
For the fastest grind, use A Dusty Trip Nuts and Bolts. If the vehicle is your only target, go straight to A Dusty Trip Kairo 7.
What happens if you miss one reward?
There is no reason to panic-buy the whole shop if you are short on time. Prioritise the permanent car first, then use whatever balance remains on the item you will actually use. A half-finished collection is better than missing Kairo 7 because you spent too early.
That order also makes the grind feel less punishing, because every extra mutant kill after the car is secured is working toward optional rewards rather than rescuing your main target.
