Picture-Perfect: Mastering Car Photography for Your Virtual Dealership



[h2]Hello four-wheel fans! đźš—â›˝[/h2]

In Car Dealer Simulator, great photos can make all the difference in attracting buyers. Here's how to use the in-game photo mode to capture professional-quality shots that maximize your sales potential.

Step 1: Access the Camera

To enter photo mode, you can open the tablet and choose the Camera app, or use the radial menu for quick access. Getting familiar with this shortcut keeps you ready to snap at a moment's notice.



Step 2: Cover All Photo Points

Each car has several essential "photo points" that help capture key angles for a complete listing. Aim to photograph each point—front, back, sides—to show potential buyers a full view of the car. Covering these points builds trust and ensures nothing important is overlooked.

Step 3: Clean It Up

A clean, damage-free car attracts more buyers. Before taking photos, make sure the vehicle has been washed, detailed, and repaired as needed. No one wants to see a dirty or damaged car in a listing—it's all about presenting a professional look.

Step 4: Choose the Right Spot

Don't shoot in your garage or while the car is being repaired. Instead, find a location with good lighting and a simple background to help the car stand out. A park, street, or open lot can add just the right touch to make your listing look more appealing.



Ready to Sell!

With these steps, you'll have high-quality photos to upload to the car-selling portal, helping you attract more interest and close deals faster. In Car Dealer Simulator, great pictures are more than just visuals—they're your ticket to success.

Get Fueled Up – Refueling Mechanics in Car Dealer Simulator



[h2]Hey, car dealers and aspiring mechanics! đźš—â›˝[/h2]

Today, we’re diving into a feature every dealership needs to master: refueling. Whether prepping a car for sale or making sure your latest acquisition runs smoothly, you’ll be spending some time at the pump. Let's take a closer look at how the refueling mechanic works in the Car Dealer Simulator and why it’s more than just topping off the tank!



[h3]Parking and Positioning: Fuel Up Like a Pro[/h3]
First things first, when you roll up to the pump, it’s essential to get your car in the right spot. You’ll notice a visible zone next to the pump where your vehicle needs to be parked. Once you’re in position, the fun begins! With a click, you’ll grab the refueling gun, place it into the fuel filler, and get ready to refuel.



[h3]Fueling Options: Manual or Automatic – The Choice is Yours[/h3]
Once the gun is in place, the refueling UI pops up, and you’ve got two options. You can either manually fill the tank by holding the LMB or switch on the Auto Fill feature to make things easier. Auto Fill lets you fill the tank without holding the button, allowing the fuel to flow until the tank is full—or your wallet runs dry!



[h3]Fuel Limits: Keep an Eye on the Gauge[/h3]
The refueling interface is sleek and straightforward. As you pump gas, the numbers on the UI steadily increase, showing how much fuel you’re adding and how much it’ll cost. Whether you prefer to measure in liters or gallons, we’ve got you covered with units displayed in both formats. You can refuel as much as you need—up to a 60L tank capacity for the biggest cars or as much as your balance allows.



[h3]Transactions Made Simple[/h3]
Once you’re done refueling, hit the button at the bottom of the UI to confirm your purchase. The game will notify you of the fuel added and the funds deducted from your account, so you’ll always know exactly where you stand. If you change your mind or realize you’re running low on cash, you can cancel the process and exit the UI anytime.

[h3]Seamless and Satisfying[/h3]
The refueling mechanic is designed to feel as natural and smooth as possible, whether you prefer doing things manually or letting the Auto Fill handle it for you. Every refueling session becomes essential to maintaining your cars, getting them ready for the road, or primed for sale.

We’re looking forward to seeing how you handle your fleet’s fuel management. Stay tuned for more updates, and keep your tanks full!

Dive Into the Art of Bodywork in Car Dealer Simulator!



[h3]Hey, car dealers and repair enthusiasts! 🚗🛠️[/h3]

This week, we’re excited to take you through one of the fundamental mechanics in Car Dealer Simulator: Bodywork Restoration. If you’ve ever wanted to transform a rusty old car into something that gleams, this is your chance to dive into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to make that happen. Let’s walk through the process of bringing those neglected cars back to life, one fender at a time.

[h3]Rust Removal: Getting Hands-On[/h3]

When you step into the workshop or the body repair pavilion, you’ll have complete control over repairing rusted sills and fenders. As soon as you start interacting with the vehicle, a tool selection HUD appears, giving you everything you need to start. Simply select the part you want to work on and get to work with the right tools for the job.
Whether sanding, applying putty, or polishing the surface, every action is designed to feel fluid and immersive.

[h3]The Restoration Process[/h3]

Here’s how you’ll go from rust bucket to showroom-ready:

Sanding Down the Rust: Start by grabbing sandpaper and removing the rust by moving your mouse left and right. You’ll need a few solid passes to remove the rust and prep the surface.



Applying Putty: After cleaning, you’ll apply putty using a spatula. With each pass, you’ll spread the putty evenly across the surface, filling in any gaps and ensuring the area is smooth.



3. Sanding Again: Finally, you’ll make a second pass with the sandpaper to smooth out the putty and create a flawless surface ready for painting.



4. Painting: Choose your paint color, then spray it onto the prepared surface. Watch as the car is transformed from a rusty mess to a polished beauty, one layer at a time.



[h3]Real-Time Progress and Feedback[/h3]

You’ll see your progress reflected on the screen as you move through each step. A progress bar in the top-left corner will keep you updated, and helpful instructions will guide you along the way. If you’re unsure of what areas still need work, using radar will highlight unfinished spots, ensuring nothing gets left behind.

[h3]Bring Life Back to Every Car[/h3]

With these bodywork mechanics, you’ll experience the satisfaction of turning worn-out, rusty cars into beautifully restored machines. Every sanding stroke, every layer of paint—it all adds up to the thrill of seeing a car shine like new.
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into some serious restoration work. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of bringing a car back from the brink!
