About
The Bestselling Car Mechanic Simulator series goes to a new level!

All this with new, photorealistic graphics. Featuring more cars (40+), more tools (10+), more options and more parts (1000+) than ever before. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work!
Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 also includes car auctions where old cars are available for resale or purchased for your collection. With the inclusion of photo-mode, you can take stunning before and after photos, and the game’s infinite number of randomly generated missions will keep you more than busy (and dirty).
Each mission offers its own unique challenge of varying difficulty and time constraints to meet. Additional tools are available for purchase if needed. You can eventually upgrade your garage to include specific equipment such as lacquer sprayer or a parts warehouse.

Çok aşırı gerçekçi ve detaylı yapılmış, ben bayağı zorlandım beceremedim. Ama bu oyunu yalayıp yutan kişi gerçek hayatta da araba söküp takar.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

pretty fun tbh, quite informative and helped me understand cars more and wasn't bad for its price. I think the campaign is too short honestly. still super fun to rebuild cars very good sandbox would reccomend. ps. goes on sale for like 4 bucks so def wait for that instead of $20.
Очень годная и расслабляющая игра для механиков.СОВЕТУЮ
я очень устал босс...
MUY BUENO Y REALISTA OBIAMENTE NO ES COMO LA VIDA REAL PERO TE DA LA HABILIDAD PARA SABER DE LOS CARROS JEJ ME GUSTA
👍👍👍
Я установил суппорт и сайлентблоки с тормозными дисками но это игра такая старая и тупая что не видит того что я их установил и показывает прочерк в статусе авто. !!! Я не могу завершить заказ.!!!
Received this game in bundle sometime in the past and figured I'd try it. I wouldn't recommend this game for probably 90%+ of the population, honestly. It's not very intuitive and "realism" isn't a defense for this one, at all. The 10% of people that might like this are those fine with really unintuitive (but seemingly deep) games and likely people that have worked on their own cars in the past since that actually helps here. If I could, I'd rate this as a "mixed" recommendation instead. Complaints so far: - Tutorial is likely the most useless I've encountered in a game. You just need to take the car to a test track, but it doesn't explain any mechanics, goals, controls, or tasks to you. There are no indicators on where the test track is, and everywhere you look a popup appears explaining how something works that's entirely unrelated to the test track. - After the tutorial, you get dumped in an empty garage and have zero guidance after this. I spent ~15 minutes walking around and looking at objects until I finally Googled it. Apparently, there's a silent "phone" that you interact with to receive orders, but again, there were no indicators (noise, waypoints, "quest logs") to point you here. - Immediately after opening the game I noticed the mouse felt terrible. Some quick research indicated it's a software mouse (for controller users) and they said it wouldn't change, which is a bad experience on PC imo. - There are zero indicators so far for things like oil levels, making it easy to overfill engines. The only defense of this (ridiculous, but whatever) would be "realism" which is nonsense, I'll explain below more. Realism is often a facade for jank in these types of games, you can often tell the difference between this and curated realism by how it's implemented. In this case, as someone who has replaced fairly complicated parts on my prior cars, this is a [i]close[/i] approximation of part installation. My first customer was an oil change, where I had to figure out how to move the car onto the lift. After lifting the car and moving the reservoir into place, I couldn't find a oil pan drain plug anywhere. I resorted to pulling the filter (which I don't think was necessary?) and finally interacting with the reservoir, which gave me a "use" option to automatically drain the oil. For a game that requires me to put every single clip back onto the air filter housing, not having a oil pan plug is a weird choice. That being said, I'm able to fumble my way through the game and it scratches a similar itch to PC Building Simulator. So, if that all sounds interesting to you, might be worth checking out.
