Game Overview
Cheap Car Repair is a first-person mechanic simulator set in 1990s Poland, developed by Little Dog Games and published by Simplicity Games and PlayWay S.A. You run a small car repair shop in a rural village nicknamed "Bumfuck Nowhere," where money is tight and customers expect miracles for next to nothing.
The game launched on Steam on May 28, 2026, following an overwhelmingly positive demo (840+ reviews) and a well-received free prologue, Cheap Car Repair: Welcome to Nowhere. The full release adds open-world exploration, more customers, story missions, and deeper workshop management.
Unlike traditional mechanic simulators that reward perfection, Cheap Car Repair embraces the absurd realities of post-communist Eastern Europe. You can repair cars properly — or cut corners with pantyhose belts, body filler over rust, kitchen sponges as air filters, and watered-down fuel. Every shortcut saves money but risks consequences when cars fall apart or customers return with baseball bats.
