There are few things more satisfying than taking a tired old car, fixing what is broken and watching it come back to life. Car Service Simulator puts that satisfaction at the heart of its latest garage management challenge.
Available right now on Xbox Series X|S for £5.79, this is a game about more than simply swapping parts, though, as you’ll also need to keep customers happy and turn a small workshop into a successful automotive business. If you’re done with the racing in Forza and just want to get your hands dirty, this should well appeal.

From Small Garage To Automotive Empire
Car Service Simulator starts with the humble workshop and gives you plenty of room to grow. Customers arrive with vehicles in need of attention, leaving you to diagnose problems, agree prices and complete the work before investing your profits back into the business.
There is plenty of mechanical work to get stuck into, too. Engines, brakes, suspension and transmissions can all require attention, while better tools and equipment can help you tackle more complicated jobs as your skills improve. But this is as much a business simulation as it is a vehicle repair game. Taking on the right work and charging sensible prices will be just as important as knowing your way around an engine.
Not every customer will simply want their car fixed. The workshop also allows you to customise vehicles with new body kits, performance upgrades, paint jobs and other finishes, giving you another way to improve both the cars and your reputation.
There’s also a dedicated car wash operation, letting you clean vehicles and return them to something approaching showroom condition.
There’s A Whole World Outside The Workshop
When you’re not underneath a bonnet, Car Service Simulator gives you an open world to explore in search of better opportunities. Junkyards can hide rare parts, local markets may offer valuable bargains and premium components can be ordered online. Buying, selling and trading parts all feed back into the business, giving you more ways to find the equipment and components needed to keep the workshop moving. Negotiation also plays a role, with customers’ needs and the deals you strike helping determine just how profitable your growing operation becomes.
For £5.79, Car Service Simulator is offering plenty of different ways to get your hands dirty without actually needing to spend your weekend under the bonnet. Car Service Simulator is available now on Xbox Series X|S (via the Xbox Store), ready to see whether you have what it takes to turn a small local garage into the next big name in the automotive business.
