Car Mechanic Simulator Partners With Mercedes, Plus Steam Key Giveaway

The Car Mechanic Simulator brand just turned two years old, and it looks like just the beginning of a long, happy future for the game. Starting with Car Mechanic Simulator 2014, the game has added more features, cars and parts along the way. The original game steadily increased in popularity, giving incentive for the studio to move forward with a sequel. Turning to crowd funding on Kickstarter, PlayWay was able to quickly raise the capital for the game and five DLC packs we have today.

To celebrate 100 years of the Monroe suspension brand, PlayWay has released a free app on both the iTunes store and the Google Play store. It’s not a the typical CMS game, but a smaller version: like a bonus challenge with its own app.

In the game, your challenge is to replace a car’s shocks in less than 100 seconds. I chose to give it a chance despite the mixed reviews, and I found it amusing. For all the random games on my phone, this one does just fine. The sense of humour in the game came out just a few bolts into the removal, when I was told the bolt was rusted and would need to be sprayed with ‘Liquid Max’. After replacing the parts and throwing everything back together including the wheel, I was done and ready to beat my time on the next round. No, the app will not entertain you forever, but it’s a worthy little challenge. You’ll feel like you can actually do the repair this fast in real life, at least that’s what Monroe would want.

New DLC

Car Mechanic Simulator Partners With Mercedes, Plus Steam Key Giveaway

Car Mechanic Simulator is already partnered with brands like Bosch, Delphi, Garrett, Monroe, Nissens, Optimnal, Rancho, Sealey, TRW and Walker. In a newly formed partnership, CMS 2015 will release the Mercedes-Benz DLC as the result of its first ever car manufacturer co-op. The new DLC comes in the form of two cars: the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing and the 560SEC.

The Gullwing was the fastest production car of its time and will add to the game a 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder engine. It’s a classic car icon with its doors, speed and fuel injected motor. You can’t look at the 300SL without begging to touch it….and fix it….and mod it….

This brute will bring its hefty 5.5-litre V8 and 261bhp. It takes something mighty to power this beauty. The 560SEC looks like a tank, holds up like a brick and drives like a dream. Players will be able to buy, sell, repair and drive both cars in the new Mercedes-Benz DLC.

Starting now in the Steam Store, Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 will be 55 per cent off, and the Mercedes DLC will be 20 per cent off for one week only. Keep in mind that right now, the Gold Edition does not include the new Mercedes DLC because of an agreement between the two brands. In the future, PlayWay hopes to offer a flat rate package with future DLC included at no charge.

What's coming next?

PlayWay begs the questions on its Facebook page, “Do you want Barn Find DLC? What cars?”

This is something the team has been dreaming of creating for a long time, so it is a solid bet that it will be up and ready before we know it. If you’ve been following CMS 2015, you’ll know that the developers take their player feedback seriously when they post for input like this. Get your creative ideas out now, and hope to see some killer barn finds in the future. (I can’t wait!).

We wanted to know what else PlayWay has in mind and what the collaboration means for the game, so we asked these questions:

  • It was about this time last year that the funds were raised for CMS2015. Is there any plan to move forward into a possible sequel for next year?

Of course, some work and ideas are in process, but we can’t talk about it for now - we want to make more of CMS15 until there is interest for it. For sure there will soon be new DLCs with more amazing content and top, luxury, official car brands.

  • The Mercedes-Benz deal is a huge milestone for your brand. How does everyone involved in the game feel about the importance of this new deal?

Yes, this license agreement with Mercedes-Benz is a huge milestone for us. From the beginning of CMS2014 and later the 2015 edition - it was always the thing which was demanded most by our fans. It’s kind of the natural, obvious step to do, but a really big one, because there was never such content simulation in any video game. It wasn’t easy to make such a brand like Mercedes-Benz believe in us and our game.

We think that it might change how people look at cars - not only like a pretty vehicle, but also a complicated machine. They could look inside, play with it, learn about it. We think that there is a strong DIY style of life. Many people love cars and want to take them in their own hands like their parents and grandparents did, but now, they don’t have time, enough skill, a garage, or even a car. So our game could be the solution for them. And Mercedes-Benz brings CMS closer than ever to give an experience of a real car and a real brand.

I made a bet with a teacher a week ago. It was that I could make his classes less boring. So if I win this, I could show him how to give a “mechanical design” (The name of the course he teaches) lesson a bit more interactive

560SEC AMG for that sweet V8 rumble, the violent, obnoxious, imposing look that gorgeous thing has and for the throwback to a time when a lot of skill was recquired to properly shred tires

Mercedes-AMG GT S (Silver Metallic). Because the sound from a turbo V8 German Built engine is perfect. Shifting through through 7 gears with 500hp is a dream.

If I could get any Mercedes, I would have to pick the g63 AMG 6x6 because it is an amazing piece of machinery. Every time I see a picture of it I fall in love even more with it

Pretty much all the AMGs would be a blast to but the stand out for just a great car is the Amg GTS which just looks mega fun!

This, ladies and gentlemen, is THE car. It’s a C111, one of 3 ever made, this design is #3. Powered by a rotary (YES, Wankel rotary engine, rejoice mazda fans), mid engined, looks to die for…
AND this car haunts me my whole life. I’ve had a toy of this exact car when i was 4, i’ve had a model of one when I was 9, I raced it in MB world racing when I was 18, and now a print of this car is hanging proudly in my garage. That is the only car I’ve never seen in my life but feel like I’ve spent most my life with it’s shadow right next to me. BRING THAT TO CAR MECHANIC PLEASE
