Welcome to the "Bumfuck Nowhere" — a dusty little town where nothing works quite right and everyone knows everyone’s business.
And in the middle of this glorious mess — shining like a knight in slightly greasy armor — there’s you...
Step into the shoes of a mechanic running his own business in a typical Polish village of the 1990s.
Money’s tight, so you’ll need to get creative and cut corners wherever possible:
- Dent in the fender? Body filler will do the trick!
- Pantyhose instead of a timing belt? Absolutely!
- Maybe dilute gasoline with water? Why not!
As long as your masterpiece doesn't fall apart the moment it leaves the garage - that's profit! But things don't always go so smoothly. If a repair doesn't go according to plan, the customer will come back - and definitely not in a friendly mood.
Try your hand as a painter - you can do it properly or do it cheap, it's all up to you! Painting over rust never killed anybody.
If it's round enough, that means it can be a steering wheel! Your wallet is empty, so original parts are out of the question.
A sponge will do the job just as well as an air filter, and if you can't see the difference, why pay extra?
Diluting gasoline with water doesn't surprise anyone in this village anymore, but getting a car started on a mix of beer and vodka? Now that's a real achievement.
Uh-oh, did you get on someone's bad side? Someone clearly trashed your garage out of spite - time for a little renovation!
Repair classic Eastern European cars using bizarre and creative methods:
- Patch up bodywork, fill dents, paint over rust, clean off grime, and scrape away corrosion,
- Swap parts using either proper components or questionable substitutes,
- Take cars apart and put them back together (hopefully remembering where each bolt goes),
- Lift cars, remove wheels, and bring total wrecks back to barely working condition.
Running a garage is about more than just repairs. You'll need to balance costs, service quality, and your own profit, because every decision may have consequences.
Outside the garage, additional story-driven tasks await you, guiding you through the story of John the Mechanic and letting you venture beyond the workshop to get to know the surrounding area and its residents.
So what are you waiting for? Grab your wrench and discover the beginning of John the Mechanic's story - a man who ends up on the wrong side of a local businessman.
