"With a BrickScore of 66.6 this is a Mixed Reviews verdict: the vehicles are well-designed and the building techniques impress for the age range, but the service station itself is a disappointment relative to the $49.99 price, a view expert reviewers and LEGO.com's own buyer data both confirm."
Expert reviewers landed on a genuinely mixed verdict for the 60257 Service Station: the two vehicles (a teal camper van and a dark blue SUV) drew consistent praise for their clever design and interesting building techniques, but the station structures themselves were called out as thin, bland, and poorly proportioned relative to the piece count and the $49.99 price. This expert split matches a notable owner divergence: Amazon and Walmart buyers gave it roughly 4.8 out of 5 across nearly 980 reviews, yet the small LEGO.com sample averaged just 3.45 and the LEGO would-recommend rate sat at only 64%, and value for money scored 2.7 out of 5.
Where they split: The expert-owner split here is pronounced. Critics from Brickset and Brothers Brick gave the set 55-78, focusing on poor structure-to-vehicle piece allocation and high price. But Amazon and Walmart buyers gave it roughly 4.8 stars, likely rating it on the vehicles and play fun for children rather than the station design. The 64% LEGO would-recommend rate and 2.7/5 value score from LEGO.com suggest more informed buyers share the critics' reservations.

Owners appreciate the stylish vehicles and features, especially for young builders, but some note the station itself feels undersized and disconnected compared to earlier versions.
