Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 is the first installment in the CMS series after the release of the previous part in 2015. From many aspects, CMS 2018 surpasses its predecessor released in 2015. However, when it comes to optimization and user interface, the game became stable only in the end of August. CMS 2015 from this point was much better. But many popular titles like DayZ Standalone had bugs and issues at the launch. Luckily, the patches for Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 fixed most problems.

As for the completely new features in Car Mechanic Simulator 2018, users at first get an access to the new in-game mode called Barnfind. Unlike the Junkyard quests where you have to buy old autos, here you can search for the potential car projects at abandoned farms (for free) and repair them to get the profit without any investment. Also, more licensed classic cars models have been added with 2 DLCs.
