Flipping Cars and Chasing Profits: Car Dealer Simulator Races to Full Release on May 29
After a successful soft launch earlier this year, Car Dealer Simulator is set to make its full debut on Steam this May 29, 2025, giving players the keys to their own car-flipping empire. Developer Garage Monkeys S.A. announced the release date following strong feedback on both the free prologue, released in January, and a demo that dropped in March.
The game’s prologue alone garnered over 260,000 downloads and holds an 85% positive rating on Steam. Meanwhile, the demo also earned player praise with an 86% approval rating, proving there’s a real appetite for this gritty yet humorous take on the used car business.
Build Your Empire, One Rust Bucket at a Time
Car Dealer Simulator places players in the worn-out boots of a rookie dealer under the wing of “Little Sam,” a street-smart entrepreneur showing you the ropes. Your job? Buy low, repair smart, and sell high. As you earn your stripes, you’ll unlock the ability to take over the business entirely.
With the full version launching in May, players can expect a substantial expansion of the gameplay seen in earlier versions. Garage Monkeys confirmed the release will feature:
- More complex repair mechanics
- Full building upgrades for your garage and facilities
- Employee hiring and management
- New car models to buy, restore, and sell
- Expanded activities across the junkyard, bar, and gas station shop
These additions aim to deepen the simulator’s blend of management strategy, negotiation, and hands-on restoration, offering players even more control over how they build their car dealing empire.
Grit Meets Growth in Garage Monkeys’ Latest Title
What sets Car Dealer Simulator apart in a crowded simulator genre is its combination of gritty realism, economic depth, and a uniquely human narrative. You don’t just manage inventory—you hustle, haggle, and build your name in a world full of shady deals and unexpected wins.
And with upcoming features like employee hiring and expanded repair systems, the game edges closer to a full-fledged auto dealership tycoon experience. The focus on customer satisfaction and strategic reinvestment gives sim fans a lot to look forward to when it releases on May 29.
Car Dealer Simulator will be available for PC via Steam. With a growing fanbase and promising feature set, this one’s worth watching—especially if you’ve ever dreamed of turning rusted wrecks into rolling gold.
