Car Dealer Simulator News

[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!



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

[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.

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



[h3]📧 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]🔧 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.
  

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

[h2]New Update Coming Tomorrow![/h2]
Dear Car Dealers, tomorrow we’re introducing a new feature! New client challenges will appear in the game. From reputation level 8, you’ll receive a new type of email with vehicle orders. Emails will be time-limited, and if you accept a job, you’ll have a limited time to deliver the vehicle to the client. Clients will require specific models, colors, and strict technical and visual standards.



Will you take on the challenge and meet the clients’ expectations?

[h2]🛠 Patch Notes:[/h2]

• Fixes related to the save system and map unloading.
  
• Fixed Y-axis directions in vehicle cameras when using a controller.
  
• Fixed an issue with fuses in repair mode - sometimes an extra fuse appeared, affecting the vehicle’s condition calculation. This fix is not retroactive but will no longer occur on new vehicles.
  
• Fixed camera collision on the Off-Rider Ridge model.
  
• Fixed placing and picking up packages from the Off-Rider Ridge cargo area.
  
• Improved behavior of packages placed on vehicles.
  

We are aware that the tow dolly may currently cause issues when loading the game if the save was made while the trailer was slightly above or below the vehicle it was attached to. In most cases, pressing 'backspace' resolves the issue, or simply saving and loading the game with the vehicle and tow dolly on flat ground. We are working on a fix.
