Tire Shop: Wheel Repair Simulator is a calm game where every job is done by hand: loosen the nuts with an impact gun, spin the wheel in a water bath to spot the bubbles, plug the puncture and clip weights on the wheel balancer.
• 80 orders across three eras: a 1980s garage, a roadside tire shop of the 2000s and a modern tire center.
• Over 30 cars, from old sedans to big SUVs.
• Every tenth order is special: two, three or four wheels at once.
• New jobs keep coming: tire changes on a machine, fixing a dented rim, valve replacement, tread depth checks, bead leaks, hub rust cleaning, washing and tire shine.
• Tighten in a star pattern with a torque wrench, the proper way.
• 7 equipment lines in the shop, from a foot pump to a nitrogen station and an automatic tire changer.
• 6 sets of fancy lug nuts unlocked with stars.
• Garage sounds, vibration and calm blues.
You can't lose: a mistake costs stars and tips, never the order. Careful work earns three stars and a happy customer.
How to play
1. Take an order in the garage and the car drives onto the lift by itself.
2. Press and hold a nut until the impact gun spins it off. When all nuts are out, pull the wheel aside.
3. Spin the wheel in the water and tap where the bubbles come from.
4. Fix the hole: pull out the nail, ream it in circles with the rasp, push a plug in with the needle, twist and pull the needle out, trim the tail with the knife and inflate to the green zone of the gauge.
5. On the balancer, turn the mark to the top and add weights as the display shows.
6. Put the wheel on the hub and tighten the nuts in opposite pairs, releasing on green.
7. Collect your pay, stars and tips. Buy better tools in the shop to work faster.
Controls: mouse or one finger — tap, hold, drag and draw circles. Tools are picked from the board at the bottom. A hint shows each new job the first time.
