One of my favorite car games is Car Mechanic Simulator. In this game, you have a shop and repair customer vehicles while working towards doing full restorations and rebuilds of some of the most iconic and awesome vehicles ever to hit the road. In the background here, you’ll see me working on a Viper and a DB5 as well as photos of a host of other cars I’ve done in the game. Car Mechanic Simulator 21 is a great game and a big leap forward from the less well-received 2018 version of the game.
