A New Car Is Coming Soon!


We're revealing another upcoming car! Meet the Zen Motors Elevate:

Winston Springs Universe


The town of Winston Springs literally lives and breathes cars! This is where, in Car Dealer Simulator, you search online listings for real hidden gems that can then find their way into the hands of your customers. They can ask you not only to find and purchase their dream cars, but also to repair them and get them ready for the road.

Winston Springs is also home to a community of racing enthusiasts. Some customers in the Car Dealer Simulator: Up 2 You DLC will come to you with special requests to customize their cars, giving you the opportunity to completely transform their look and character.

And if you happen to come across abandoned wrecks while exploring the town and its surroundings - don't just leave them behind! Scattered across the map, these forgotten vehicles are waiting to be discovered and brought back to life.

Take a look at the role cars play in Police Chief Simulator and discover the mechanics connected to them!
