About this game Read the full description

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 is new production with a well-established player base. Start as a fresh owner of a car garage and work your way to a service empire. Get your hands dirty in a super-realistic simulation game that has incredibly realistic detail. Get ready to work on 4000+ unique parts and over 72 cars. Roll up your sleeves and immerse yourself in a crazy-real garage environment.

Expand your range of services by investing in a new work space and equipment. Repair, fix, test, paint, tune and rebuild cars. Pay a visit to a new Auction house and buy cars in various conditions. If you feel lucky you can give it a crack in the barn. Some of them might have hidden gems – if you can find them.

An infinitely generated number of orders will keep you busy for a while. If you’re up for a bigger challenger – try putting yourself to the test in specially-crafted story missions. Each mission offers a unique set of requirements and challenges that you’ll have to face.

When you are done upgrading your workshop it’s time for a project car. Save up some money and buy your own ride and make it pristine. From the rusty shell of a car to a top vehicle in perfect condition. Time to get those hands dirty with lots of engine grease!
