Reviews
Auf Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 bin ich damals durch YouTube gekommen. Ich hab jemandem dabei zugesehen, wie er eine alte Karre komplett zerlegt und übelst genervt war, das er Schrauben über Schrauben rein und rausdrehen musste, und dachte mir - Sieht irgendwie entspannt aus, probierste einfach mal aus. Das war mein erster Teil der Reihe und ich hätte vorher nicht gedacht, dass mir virtuelles Schrauben so viel Spaß machen würde. Man startet mit einer kleinen Werkstatt und nimmt zunächst einfache Kundenaufträge an. Bremsen wechseln, Öl auffüllen, kaputte Teile suchen oder herausfinden, warum es irgendwo klappert. Mit jedem Auftrag kommen Geld und Erfahrung dazu, wodurch neue Fähigkeiten, Werkzeuge und größere Bereiche der Garage freigeschaltet werden. Später stehen mehrere Hebebühnen, Prüfgeräte, Lackierkabine, Leistungsprüfstand und Teilelager zur Verfügung. DLC's bieten natürlich auch noch einige Fahrzeuge mehr, ebenfalls der Steam-Workshop. Aber schon das Hauptspiel hat bereits über 40 Fahrzeuge. Man kann Motoren, Fahrwerke, Bremsanlagen und Karosserien ziemlich komplett auseinandernehmen. Dabei merkt man schnell, wie viele Teile entfernt werden müssen, nur weil irgendein kleines Ding ganz unten kaputt ist. Der Kunde sagt - Da vorne klappert was - und eine halbe Stunde später liegt die komplette Vorderachse auf dem Werkstattboden. Am meisten Spaß hatte ich mit den eigenen Projektautos. In Scheunen oder auf dem Schrottplatz findet man alte Fahrzeuge in verschiedenen Zuständen. Manche sehen noch halbwegs brauchbar aus, andere bestehen hauptsächlich aus Rost mit vier Rädern. Diese komplett zu zerlegen, neu aufzubauen, zu lackieren und anschließend zu verkaufen oder zu behalten, hat richtig motiviert. Gerade der Unterschied zwischen dem ersten Fund und dem fertigen Auto war jedes Mal sehr nice. Natürlich merkt man dem Spiel inzwischen sein Alter an. Die Menüs sind teilweise etwas umständlich, das Fahren ist ziemlich steif und bestimmte Arbeiten wiederholen sich. Bei einem Schrauberspiel gehört das aber nun mal dazu. Wer nach dem zehnten Reifen keine Lust mehr hat, noch einen elften abzuschrauben, ist wahrscheinlich einfach im falschen Spiel. Der Nachfolger von 2021 ist größer, sieht besser aus und macht einige Abläufe angenehmer. Trotzdem bleibt Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 für mich etwas Besonderes, weil es mein Einstieg in die Reihe war. Das Grundprinzip funktioniert auch heute noch: Aufträge erledigen, Werkstatt ausbauen, Schrottkarren retten und viel zu lange an einem Auto arbeiten, das man eigentlich nur schnell verkaufen wollte. War damals für mich eine richtig gute Überraschung und ist auch heute noch ein cooles Schrauberspiel. Wer direkt die modernere Version möchte, greift zum Nachfolger. In diesem Sinne, habt Spaß :)

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
