About this game
Except this isn’t just any village… this is “Bumfuck Nowhere” — the kind of place where nothing works properly, everyone knows your business, and common sense was abandoned years ago.
And right in the middle of this glorious dump stands you… covered in grease, broke as hell, and trying to keep your garage alive.
Money is tight, so you’ll need to get creative and cut corners wherever possible:
- Dent in the fender? Just slap some filler on it!
- Pantyhose instead of a fan belt? Good enough!
- Watered-down fuel? The customer probably won’t notice!
As long as the car survives long enough to leave the garage, you make a profit.
But things don’t always go according to plan. If your repair job falls apart, angry customers may come back looking for more than just a refund…
Become a master of questionable bodywork. You can fix things properly… or just cheaply. Painting over rust never hurt anybody, right?
If it’s round enough, it can probably be used as a steering wheel. Genuine parts are for rich people anyway.
Got a steering wheel? Perfect — time for a ride! Explore the open world of Bumfuck Nowhere, discover hidden secrets, side missions, and all kinds of weird local activities.
A kitchen sponge works just as well as an air filter. If you can’t see the difference, why pay extra?
Diluting fuel with water doesn’t surprise anyone around here anymore… but somehow getting a car running on beer and vodka is still impressive.
Shady traders, annoying neighbors, village weirdos, and countless other characters are waiting for you. Some will help you make money — others will make your life miserable.
Looks like you made somebody angry. Your workshop has been trashed, so it’s time to renovate the place and get back to business.
Repair rusty old Polish cars using all kinds of bizarre and creative methods:
- patch up bodywork, fill dents, paint panels, clean dirt, and scrape away rust,
- replace broken parts using either proper components or suspiciously cheap substitutes,
- disassemble and reassemble car parts, remembering that every bolt matters,
- jack up vehicles, remove wheels, and slowly turn complete wrecks into barely functioning machines.
Running a garage isn’t just about repairs.
You’ll have to balance costs, quality, and profit, because every shortcut can come back to haunt you.
Outside the workshop, additional story-driven missions await, letting you experience the life of John the Mechanic, explore the surrounding countryside, and meet the strange people living in this forgotten place.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your wrench and start cutting corners!
Rusty junkers, furious customers, broken parts, village drama, and pure automotive chaos — welcome to the world of “Cheap Car Repair”!
