Car Mechanic Simulator 2018

Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 is a simulation game with racing elements, developed by Red Dot Games and published by PlayWay S.A. You run a car repair service, starting out in a small workshop and gradually expanding it into a full-sized three-lift garage. The core loop is taking on mostly randomly generated jobs, then repairing parts, painting, tuning, and testing the finished car before it goes back to the customer.

The store description leans heavily on detail. It promises more than 40 cars, more than 10 tools, and over 1000 parts, all rendered with photorealistic graphics. Each mission has its own difficulty and time limit, and you can spend upgrade points to improve your abilities as you go, while buying equipment such as a lacquer sprayer or a parts warehouse for the garage. Car auctions let you buy old cars for resale or for your own collection, and you can compete with other bidders for them.

The setting is a working garage with multilevel parking, supplemented by a Junkyard for scavenging parts and rusty cars and a Barn Find module for searching abandoned vehicles in barns. Test tools cover different aspects of a car: a Path Test for suspension, a Test Track for overall condition, and a Race Track with a timer for performance. A photo mode lets you capture before and after shots of your work.

For players who like to tinker further, the Car Editor lets you add your own cars, and the game supports customizable license plates and user music. The game is single-player, and Steam features such as achievements, trading cards, Steam Workshop, and cloud saves are included.

• Over 40 cars and more than 1000 parts give you plenty of hardware to repair, paint, and tune.

• The Car Editor lets modders add their own cars to the game.

Steam labels this game Very Positive, which is 極度好評 in Taiwan Steam wording, with 91 percent of reviews positive. That is a strong result, and the review volume is tens of thousands of reviews, a large enough sample that the rating reflects a broad group of players rather than a handful of early opinions.

On Steam, Very Positive generally means the large majority of reviewers enjoyed the game, and a score in the 90 percent range with a sample this big usually points to consistent quality. Smaller review counts would make a label less reliable, but that is not the situation here. Steam ratings reflect overall impressions, though, and do not tell you whether the level of simulation detail suits your taste, so the feature list and the store description are the best guide to fit.

In Taiwan, the Steam store price for Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 is NT$ 328, which is also its regular price, so no discount is running right now. All prices in this section are Taiwan Steam store prices in NT$.

Our price record is still short, so this verdict is tentative. The current price matches our recorded high rather than our low. If you are buying at full price, it is reasonable to wait for a sale, since a 90 percent discount has appeared before. If you want to buy now, keep in mind that the record is too thin to predict how deep or how often sales will come.
