Mechanical Repairs and How They Affect Value and Reputation
[h2]Hey Car Dealers![/h2]
Only 9 days left until the release of Car Dealer Simulator - the countdown to May 29, 2025 is on!
Today’s devlog kicks off a short series focused on mechanical repairs. Think of it as a mini guidebook to help you understand how to handle them effectively in the game.
Most cars in Car Dealer Simulator are purchased through the classifieds portal. Vehicles come in various conditions, and you can already check key info like visual state and whether the car starts or not directly in the listing.
But to get a detailed technical overview, you’ll need to use the diagnostic scanner.
Once used, the scanner will show you a full report on the condition of every part in the vehicle.
🔧 Pro tip: If you’re out shopping and forget what needed fixing - don’t worry. Just pull out the scanner from the radial menu and press ‘R’ to open the last saved report. Even better, the report updates automatically after every part replacement, so you’re always working with the latest info.
Every repair you make directly affects the market value of the vehicle - the more you fix, the more profit you can earn. And that’s not just about cash.
💼 Your dealer reputation depends on how much profit you make from each sale – the higher the difference between the purchase and sale price, the more reputation points you’ll gain. So smart repairs and good deals really pay off.
In the next entries, we’ll walk you through how to replace specific parts and what to keep an eye on.
See you in the workshop - on May 29, 2025!
