Cheap Car Repair

Cheap Car Repair is a simulation and strategy game from Little Dog Games, published by Simplicity Games and PlayWay S.A. It released on May 28, 2026 for PC. The game puts you in charge of a shady car repair shop in 1990s Poland. You must fix cars, cut costs, and keep customers from turning on you.

Über das Spiel

Cheap Car Repair drops you into a rough rural workshop where every repair is a gamble. You run a small garage in a poor village and try to make money by any means necessary. Furthermore, the game encourages both proper repairs and cheap shortcuts. That creates a strong mix of management, humour, and risk.

The setting is deliberately scrappy and grounded. You deal with worn-out cars, difficult customers, and limited resources. Additionally, the game’s 1990s Polish backdrop gives it a distinct identity. It feels specific rather than generic, which helps it stand out among simulator games.

Wesentliche Merkmale

Garage Management

You run your own repair shop from the ground up. That means balancing service quality, money, and customer expectations. Furthermore, your success depends on making the right trade-offs. Good management matters just as much as technical repairs.

Creative Repair Methods

The game allows for both proper fixes and suspiciously cheap solutions. You can patch problems in unusual ways to save money. As a result, each job becomes a judgment call. The game rewards creativity, but not always honesty.

Village Life in 1990s Poland

The setting gives the game a very specific personality. Rural life, local gossip, and a struggling economy all shape the tone. Moreover, the environment reinforces the workshop’s scrappy survival mood. It feels like a place where everything is slightly broken.

Customer Pressure

Customers are not passive. If they think they were cheated, they may come back angry. That adds tension to every repair decision. In addition, it makes each shortcut feel dangerous instead of free.
