[h3]Dear Car Dealers,[/h3]
We’d like to show you one more feature coming soon to the game - alongside the new tow truck upgrade!

We’ve already revealed that the tow truck will have a car wash mode and allow you to drive the vehicle onto the platform without using the winch, but now we can also confirm you’ll be able to repaint it in the paint shop!



Also, under the heavy workload, we forgot to mention that the game is now available on GeForce NOW!



In the meantime, we invite you to check out the forum thread where we gather your feedback and ideas for future updates:

More Tow Truck Improvements

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
In today’s devlog, we’re revealing more updates about the tow truck!

Previously, we told you it would have an extra level and that you’d be able to wash it. Today, we’ll share a bit about how it works.

To pull a car onto the upper level, you can use the familiar winch:



Raising the platform is done through interaction with the new control panel:



But that’s not all - since the prologue, both you and we have been missing one feature…



…from now on, if the car is running, you can simply drive it on!

In previous devlogs, we shared the patch release order, and the tow truck was supposed to reach you faster than the new car. It still needs a bit of our attention, but it should appear in the game before next weekend!

New Car Model

[h2]Hello Car Dealers![/h2]
In today’s update, we’re putting a brand-new vehicle in your hands - the Phantom ThunderX!



Available from reputation level 8.



The legend returns. Thunder X has taken everything that gave the original its fame - brutal power, aggressive character, and uncompromising performance - and brought it into a new era. Under the hood hides a modern V8 engine, built for speed and a sound unlike anything else. This is a machine made to stir emotions, not to make compromises.

This is not a car, it’s a statement. Produced between 2000-2010, Thunder X never asked for respect - it took it by force, becoming one of the most recognizable Phantom models. For many drivers, it remains a symbol of an era when pure, untamed power was what truly mattered.

New Mail Events

[h2]Dear Car Dealers![/h2]
As we announced yesterday, today’s update introduces a new email-related event.



[h3]đź“§ New Email Messages:[/h3]
  • Starting from reputation level 8, every three days there’s a chance for an email to appear.
  • The chance is calculated not only at the start of the day but also during it.
  • The requirements for the car are listed in the email and in the summary.
  • After accepting the task, the requirements also appear on the HUD.
  • Once you accept the offer, you have limited time to prepare the vehicle.
  • Cars sold this way have a higher value than through classic negotiations.
  • The bonus is calculated based on the market price, meaning the year of production, mileage, and any additional mechanical work increase the car’s value.


[h3]đź”§ Scanner:[/h3]
  • We’ve added the option to check the exact percentages behind the technical condition, making it easier to track new tasks.


[h3]⚙️ Other Fixes:[/h3]
  • Fixed an issue with the Shiftify app when using a controller and the confirmation popup.
  • Improved key hints in the Shiftify app.
