Cheap Car Repair

Cheap Car Repair puts you in the role of a mechanic trying to keep a shabby workshop alive in Bumfuck Nowhere, a village in the Polish countryside of the 1990s. Money is tight, so you choose between proper repairs and cheap shortcuts, balancing cost, quality and profit. If a repair fails, angry customers may return, and your workshop can be trashed.

Repair cars

You work on rusty old Polish cars, patching bodywork, filling dents, painting panels, cleaning dirt and scraping away rust. You can replace broken parts with proper components or suspiciously cheap substitutes, and disassemble and reassemble parts with every bolt accounted for. Jack up vehicles, remove wheels and turn complete wrecks into barely functioning cars.

Shortcuts include using filler to cover a dent, pantyhose in place of a fan belt, a kitchen sponge as an air filter, or watered-down fuel. You can also try to get a car running on beer and vodka. The aim is to make enough money while keeping each car running long enough to leave the garage.

Explore the countryside

With a car to drive, you can explore the open world of Bumfuck Nowhere, find hidden secrets, take on side missions and try local activities. Additional story-driven missions follow John the Mechanic as he explores the surrounding countryside and meets its residents.

Village life

The village is home to shady traders, annoying neighbors and other strange locals. Some can help you make money, while others make life harder. When somebody trashes your workshop, you have to renovate it and get back to business.
