Know Your Parts, Stay Out of Trouble

Hey everyone!


You know how it is - parts are everything. You can buy them, you can fix them, and, well… sometimes you can acquire them through less official channels.
Just make sure you know what’s what before you throw something into a car and suddenly find yourself answering way too many questions! 😅

That’s why we’ve added a new system of icons and visual tags.
A simple set of symbols that helps you quickly identify where a part came from, whether it’s been tinkered with, and whether it’s the kind of thing that might make the cops raise an eyebrow the moment they see it.


The selected part originally came from this car (as shown by the icon in the red circle), but it was cheaply repaired.

Of course, this is all still work in progress, but you can already check out some early screenshots below.


This hood was picked up from the shop - nothing shady this time.


We removed the bumper from this car, but it was due for replacement anyway, so we’re free to use it legally on another vehicle.

The goal is to make your life easier… and, you know, help you avoid explaining why that “totally legally sourced” radiator looks exactly like the one somebody lost in a parking lot.
So keep hustling, keep fixing, keep swapping - just don’t get caught. 😉



PS. Right now we have the biggest promotion so far on Car Dealer Simulator. If you haven’t checked it out yet - now’s a great time!🚗✨

Community13 Sep 2026The Neighborhood Is Getting Better... Sort OfHello everyone! Winston Springs is finally starting to look the way I remember it. Don't get me wrong, it was never exactly a peaceful place. But the area around my hideout was starting to feel a little too... friendly. And this definitely isn't the kind of neighborhood you move to for the good schools and quiet neighbors. Things have changed a bit since then. There's more going on around the h…Community6 Sep 2026Business Is BoomingHello everyone! Winston Springs is getting a little... busy lately. More gangs, more trouble, more people like me trying to make an honest living. Well... you know what I mean. The police seem to have noticed too. They've got a new look, and judging by what's happening around the city, they're going to have their hands full trying to keep everything under control. Which is slightly inconvenient…Community30 Aug 2026An Honest Day’s WorkHello everyone! Alright... enough talking. Time to get to work. Honest work! Well... honest might be a bit of a stretch. I still owe Dirty Jack, and that debt isn't going to pay itself. But I can't exactly start by stealing half a car. I don't have the tools, or any reason to attract that much attention yet. So we start small. Mirrors, wipers... Nothing fancy, but they're easy to grab, easy to…
