Illegal Mechanic Simulator is a co-op simulator full of chaos and laughter, where you run a rundown repair shop with up to 4 friends. Try to fix ordinary cars that come to the shop during the day; and head out at night to steal parts from the same model vehicles in the neighborhood to replace what's missing!
Day Shift: "Boss, Doesn't This Have the Part?
During the day, you are honest mechanics. A customer knocks on the door, leaves their rundown car (say, a venerable Clio), and wants it fixed. The problem is: you don't have the spare part for that car, you can't afford to buy brand new parts, and your profit margin is razor-thin. No turning customers away! Raise the vehicle on the lift, diagnose the issue, and prepare the missing parts list. The night shift awaits you...
Night Shift: Greetings to the Cars on the Street!
When darkness falls, grab your toolbox and jack, and hit the streets. Your target is clear: find the exact same car model parked on the street as the one sitting in your shop during the day! Creep up quietly next to the target vehicle you’ve eyed. Divide the roles; one of you keeps watch, another pops the hood, and you unscrew that missing radiator, headlight, or alternator and toss it into your bag. Get back to the shop without setting off the alarm!

Fudge it, Fit it, Paint it, and Deliver!
Mount that "second-hand" part you stole onto the customer's car in the shop. If necessary, match its paint, clean it up, and make it look original. When the customer comes to pick up their car, deliver it gleaming like new and pocket the cash. The customer's problem is solved, and your pockets are full! Well, excluding the poor neighbor who finds their car missing wheels or headlights on the street...
Key Features:
4-Player Auto-Shop Coalition: Assemble a full crew of grease monkeys with your friends! Share the roles: while one lifts the car, another keeps watch on the streets at night or removes rims with the jack.
"Exact Match" Part Hunt: Whatever car model is in your shop during the day, you must search for its exact twin on the streets at night. You can't strip parts from just any car!
Realistic and Fast Dismantling: You need to quickly unscrew the right parts (battery, spark plug, headlight, bumper, wheel) and throw them into your bag in a limited time before getting caught. Time is ticking!
Shop Upgrades: Use the money you earn to buy faster dismantling tools, better jacks, or equipment to distract the police.
Neighborhood Suspicion Level: If you steal too many parts from the same neighborhood, residents will catch on and police patrols will increase. Be careful not to become the prey while hunting!
