Car Guy Simulator is a pixel sim about hauling home a rusted project truck, pissing off your wife, and turning it into a National Show contender — one bolt, one paycheck, and one wrench-throwing decision at a time.

You start at the curb with an F100, a borrowed jack, and just enough money to make a bad call. By the end, with a little luck and a lot of overtime, you'll have a warehouse, a sponsor deck that funds itself, and a truck that finally makes Buck shut up at the gas station.


Build the truck

  • 47 jobs across 12 systems — engine, brakes, body, paint, chrome, suspension, wheels, electrical, and more
  • Three tiers per category: Budget, Quality, Show Grade
  • DIY in your garage, or send it to Dale at the shop and pay for the convenience
  • Realistic tool and workspace progression — you don't get to TIG-weld a body panel curbside


Run the season

  • Cars & Coffee → Local → Regional → National show ladder
  • Earn followers and unlock 16 real-feeling sponsors with real-feeling payouts
  • Negotiate marketplace offers, take loans you'll regret, balance fuel against cash against pride
  • Random scenes that force a call: shake Dale's hand, or argue the bill?

Built for one car guy and one truck.

Fun, sunk a good hour into tinkering!

-Less round UIs? looking a little like a mobile react app at the moment.

Hi there is a glitch where you try to pay the weekly trucks loan but it pays all the money you have instead

Thank you for the heads up, going to get this patched ASAP. How are you enjoying the rest of the Beta?

Hey! I've checked out the game and it seems interesting. I'm a freelance translator, currently working on my portfolio, I offer free localizations in italian, would love to help with that.

Hey! I can give your game proper feedback. I’ve been testing indie games for a while now and usually focus on gameplay feel, bugs, and player experience.

If you want more structured reviews from multiple testers, I’ve been using a platform where devs can submit their games and get detailed feedback. I’ve had a good experience with it so far.
