Car Inspection Simulator

Car Inspection Simulator is a simulation game where you run your own vehicle inspection shop. A customer brings a used car in, you examine it, and you sign the report. Then you have to stand behind that signature.

A used car tells you things its owner will not: 340 microns on a wing that should read 110, the crushed edge of a bolt that has been undone, a noise that disappears once the engine warms.

ACTUALLY INSPECT THE CAR
The car sits on the lift in 3D. Touch a panel and read its paint thickness on the micron gauge. Check the bolt heads and find the part that has been replaced. Pressure-test the cooling system, hunt leaks with the smoke machine. Bodywork and paint, engine, underbody, electronics, brakes and suspension, engine performance, interior and exterior, records — nine instruments across eight stations.

EVERY PANEL GETS A VERDICT
Original, locally repainted, repainted, replaced. The paint threshold changes from car to car, and spread decides the verdict: a fully treated panel reads repainted, a partly treated one reads local. Damage records and mileage come from the records station.

YOUR REPORT HAS A PRICE
What you miss comes back. The customer returns with a complaint, your reputation drops, you refund the fee. You can re-examine the car — but if you never really looked the first time, they will know.

WHEN THE DEALER MAKES AN OFFER
Some customers want the report to come out clean and will pay for it. Taking the money is easy. If the defect you hid surfaces later, you settle the bill.

GROW THE SHOP
Buy instruments, add bays, hire an inspector. Nobody brings a full inspection to a shop without a dyno bench — the better your equipment, the better the work that comes through the door. Four packages, from an express body check to a full inspection.

Every car is a different story, and every report carries your name.
