Steam is giving away Car Mechanic Simulator 2018, a title with 90% positive reviews, for the next 48 hours. If you claim it before May 27 at 6:00 PM, it stays in your library forever. The game offers over 40 vehicles, a catalog of 1000 parts, and a workshop editor, standing out for its relaxing atmosphere and educational value for those who want to understand how an engine works.
A virtual workshop with component physics 🛠️
The simulator operates with a disassembly and assembly system that replicates real processes. Each part has a wear state and requires specific tools, from torque wrenches to hydraulic lifts. The car editor allows modifying the chassis, engine, and paint, while the career mode introduces missions with customers demanding precise diagnostics. The game prioritizes mechanics over speed, offering a technical experience without time pressure.
To fix your car without getting your hands dirty 🚗
This simulator lets you be a virtual mechanic without having to search for the lost wrench in the garage. You can disassemble a V8 engine and forget about cleaning oil off the floor. Of course, if your real car starts making strange noises, don't expect the game to give you a tutorial to fix it: here, the only danger is dropping a virtual part on the floor and never finding it again.
