This title, released in 2017, plunges players into the detailed world of automotive repair and garage management. It is a simulation game that emphasizes meticulous attention to mechanical detail, allowing players to step into the role of a burgeoning car mechanic entrepreneur. The core premise revolves around building and expanding a successful repair service empire from the ground up, managing finances, and mastering the intricacies of vehicle maintenance and restoration.
Core Gameplay and Mechanics
The primary gameplay loop centers on accepting repair orders, diagnosing vehicle issues, and executing precise repairs. This involves disassembling engines, transmissions, suspension systems, and bodywork piece by piece. The simulation boasts an astonishing level of detail regarding car components, requiring players to correctly identify faulty parts, order replacements, and reassemble systems according to factory specifications.
Beyond standard repairs, players can engage in custom paint jobs, tuning for performance enhancements, and even purchasing and selling vehicles for profit. Success hinges on efficiency, accuracy, and managing the workshop's inventory and budget effectively.
What makes this game unique in the simulation genre?
A standout feature is the inclusion of dedicated modules for sourcing rare vehicles.

Furthermore, the game includes a Car Editor, allowing users to introduce custom-made vehicles into their simulation experience.
Setting and Atmosphere
The atmosphere is grounded in realism, focusing purely on the technical aspects of automotive work rather than racing or narrative storytelling. The setting is a dedicated workshop environment where players manage all aspects of the business, from the cleanliness of the garage floor to the complexity of the mechanical tasks at hand.
