About Car Mechanic Simulator 2021
Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 drops you into a realistic garage where you begin as a new garage owner. You’ll repair, test, paint, tune and rebuild a wide range of vehicles while expanding your workshop. The game offers an endless flow of randomly‑generated orders, a large catalogue of parts, and a variety of cars to work on. Story missions add specific challenges, and a new auction house and barn hunts provide extra sources of vehicles to restore.
01 / THE GUIDE
Garage Management
You start with a basic open‑plan garage and can invest in new work spaces and equipment to broaden your service range. Upgrading the workshop unlocks additional capabilities such as a brake lathe tool and quality upgrade options.
- Prioritize equipment that unlocks new repair types early.
- Balance spending between workshop upgrades and buying parts.
02 / THE GUIDE
Parts and Cars
The game features over 4,000 unique parts and more than 72 cars, each with detailed components like dentable body parts and paintable mechanical parts. You can examine parts in a revised mode to identify issues before fixing them.
- Use the part‑examine mode to avoid unnecessary replacements.
- Track which parts are most frequently needed for efficient stocking.

Handcrafted Story Missions
Specially‑crafted story missions present unique requirements and challenges beyond the endless order stream. Each mission tests specific skills, such as precise tuning or complex repairs, giving a focused objective within the sandbox.
- Read mission requirements carefully to plan needed tools.
- Complete missions before expanding too far to keep resources manageable.
04 / THE GUIDE
Auctions and Barn Finds
A new auction house lets you purchase cars in various conditions, while barn hunts allow you to discover hidden gems among junkyard finds. These sources provide raw vehicles for restoration or resale.
- Inspect auction listings for cars with fewer damaged parts.
- Save money by restoring barn finds with fewer missing components.
