About Car Mechanic Simulator 2021
Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 is developed by Red Dot Games and published by PlayWay S.A., released in August 2021. It is the direct successor to Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 and expands the formula with a rebuilt physics engine, more detailed part-level disassembly (over 4,000 unique parts across all vehicles), an improved diagnosis system, and new gameplay systems including car washing, dent repair, and tire fitting. The game runs a junkyard and barn find system where players source project cars at below-market value, restore them, and sell for profit. It holds a "Very Positive" Steam rating and has an active DLC release schedule adding new car packs post-launch.
Key Features
-
70+ vehicles with 4,000+ individual parts: Each car in CMS 2021 is fully disassemblable to the component level, individual bolts, gaskets, bearings, and seals. Repair requires identifying the correct worn or broken part, sourcing a replacement, and reinstalling it correctly. Part condition is tracked individually and affects vehicle performance diagnostics.
-
Full engine, suspension, and bodywork repair: Engine rebuilds involve removing the block, replacing pistons, rings, crankshaft bearings, and head gaskets. Suspension repair covers struts, control arms, bushings, and alignment. Bodywork includes dent removal and panel painting. Every repair category has its own tool set and skill progression.
-
Junkyard and barn find sourcing system: Players purchase damaged project cars from auctions, junkyards, or barn finds at below-market value. After restoration, cars are sold at market price for profit. Business progression funds garage expansion, new lifts, diagnostic equipment, paint booths, and test track access.
-
OBD diagnostics and part condition scanning: An OBD scanner system identifies fault codes before disassembly. A condition scanner reveals worn parts visually before removal. Both tools reduce guesswork and model realistic workshop diagnostic workflows used by professional mechanics.
-
Test track and race mode: Restored cars can be taken to a dedicated test track for performance testing and racing. Track performance validates the quality of the rebuild — a poorly rebuilt engine underperforms on the track, providing feedback on repair quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do you repair parts in Car Mechanic Simulator 2021?
In CMS 2021, worn or damaged parts are repaired using the Part Restoration Machine (PRM) in your garage. Remove the part from the vehicle, place it in the PRM, and the machine restores it to a higher condition percentage at a material cost. Not all parts can be fully restored — heavily damaged components (below ~30% condition) must be replaced rather than restored. Scanning parts with the condition scanner before removal shows which parts are restorable vs. replacement-only.
What is new in CMS 2021 compared to Car Mechanic Simulator 2018?
CMS 2021 adds a rebuilt physics and part simulation engine, expanded bodywork repair (dent removal, panel painting), a tire fitting minigame, car washing, an improved OBD diagnostic system, and significantly more vehicles at launch. The garage business system is also expanded with more upgrade tiers. Save files from CMS 2018 are not compatible - CMS 2021 is a standalone purchase, not an update.
Does Car Mechanic Simulator 2021 have DLC, is the base game complete?
The base game includes 70+ vehicles and all core repair systems, it is a complete, standalone experience. Post-launch DLC packs add additional car brands and models (typically 5-10 cars per pack) at extra cost. DLC cars are purely additive; no base game content is locked behind DLC. If you want to try the game first, the base game provides hundreds of hours of content before any DLC is necessary.
