Craig Sheeley reviewed ''Uncle Albert's Auto Stop & Gunnery Shop 2035 Catalog'' in ''[[The Space Gamer]]'' No. 76.<ref name="SG">{{cite journal|last=Sheeley |first=Craig |date=Sep–Oct 1985 |title=Capsule Reviews|journal=[[Space Gamer]]|publisher=[[Steve Jackson Games]]|issue=76|pages=42}}</ref> Sheeley commented that "Some of us like complexity. Some of us like to build our own vehicles, and outfit them with dozens of options. Some of us like the monster that ''Car Wars'' has become [...] If you are one of these ''Car Wars'' players, this supplement will prove to be invaluable, as it is an almost complete listing of the options in ''Car Wars''."<ref name="SG"/>

Mike Eckenfels recalled this supplement with fondness, saying, "If the ‘basic’ Car Wars rules just didn’t have enough creative ways to destroy, maim, and otherwise disassemble, the ''Uncle Albert'' catalogs certainly helped pad those needs, and then some [...] There’s a lot of ''Car Wars'' goodness in the pages of this one catalog, alone, to really get you going." Eckenfels noted that "Some accessories actually have in-game use while others have more of an RPG element to it (or are just nice to have to brag about around the table, because apparently wasting pretend money in a fictional game on things that don’t actually have a practical use in-game are... bragable, I guess)." He concluded, "this was a nice little addition to the Car Wars universe back in the day."<ref>{{cite web | url =http://grogheads.com/featured-posts/13766 | title =Car Wars – A Trip Down The Memory Fast Lane, Part 8 | last =Eckenfels | first =Michael | date =2017-02-03 | website =Grogheads | publisher = Grogheads LLC | access-date =2020-01-15}}</ref>
