TLDR:
- Open the Mechanic's Shop by speaking with Pit Crew Pete in the middle of the lobby.
- Nuts & Bolts come from red-helmet mutants, the fastest source, and from Toolboxes near POIs such as houses and garages, which hold about 20 each.
- The Kairo 7 legendary car costs 1,000 Nuts & Bolts, and the event runs until October 4, 2026.
The Mechanic's Shop is a limited-time event in A Dusty Trip built around a brand-new currency called Nuts & Bolts. Instead of spinning for prizes, you earn it by fighting mutants and scavenging the desert, then trade it for six exclusive rewards. The headline prize is the Kairo 7, a Legendary sports car. The shop closes on October 4, 2026, so this guide covers where to start, the quickest way to farm, and which reward deserves your currency first.
How Do You Start the Mechanic's Shop Event in A Dusty Trip?
Pit Crew Pete, the new event NPC, stands in the center of the lobby. Interact with him to open the Mechanic's Shop menu, which lists all six rewards along with their Nuts & Bolts and Robux prices. There's no quest to complete and no level requirement, so you can access the shop as soon as you talk to Pete.
How Do You Farm Nuts & Bolts in A Dusty Trip?
Every reward in the shop costs Nuts & Bolts, so focus on collecting them during each run while the event is live. You can get them in two ways, and one is much faster.
Kill Red-Helmet Mutants
Mutants wearing red helmets drop Nuts & Bolts when you kill them, and they're the best source in the event. Rather than chasing single mutants across open sand, look for spots where several spawn together. Ghost Town is a good example, since you can clear a whole group there in one pass.
Bring the strongest weapon you have. The Kairo 7 alone takes dozens of kills, and a high-damage gun cuts the time each mutant takes to go down, which adds up quickly over a full farming session.
Loot Toolboxes
Toolboxes appear randomly around the map, mostly near Points of Interest like houses, garages, and other desert buildings. Each one holds about 20 Nuts & Bolts.
Grab every Toolbox you drive past, but don't build your run around them. At roughly 20 per box, you'd need about 50 Toolboxes for the Kairo 7. They also spawn too rarely to keep up with clearing a big mutant group.
What Are All the Rewards from the Mechanic's Shop in A Dusty Trip?
| Reward | Rarity | Cost (Nuts & Bolts) | Cost (Robux) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kairo 7 | Legendary | 1,000 | 319 | New legendary sports car |
| Junkyard Shotgun | Uncommon | 400 | 79 | Shotgun with solid damage |
| Checkered Heat Wrap | Rare | 300 | 59 | Car skin |
| Ancient Visor | Epic | 200 | 55 | Helmet that saves you from lethal damage once |
| Shrapnel Grenade | Rare | 130 | 39 | Bursts on impact and sprays shrapnel for extra nearby damage |
| Checkered Flags Charm | Uncommon | 79 | 19 | Cosmetic charm |
Buying the full shop takes 2,109 Nuts & Bolts, or 570 Robux if you'd rather skip the grind. The Kairo 7 makes up almost half of that on its own.
Which Mechanic's Shop Reward Should You Buy First?
Save for the Kairo 7 first. It's the only Legendary item in the shop, and it's a permanent unlock. Event weapons work differently. The Junkyard Shotgun and Shrapnel Grenade go to standard storage and are removed when the event ends. Once the Kairo 7 is yours, the Ancient Visor is the best value of what's left. At 200 Nuts & Bolts, it gives you a one-time save from lethal damage, which can rescue a long run.
What Are Kairo 7 Car Stats?
Don't miss your chance to get the Kairo 7 car during the Mechanic's Shop event for 1,000 Nuts & Bolts or 319 Robux. Below you'll find the most important A Dusty Trip Kairo 7 car stats.
| Top speed: 234 km/h (145 m/h) | Tank: 30 liters (7.93 gallons) |
| Water: 5 liters | Engine: 4 liters |
