Upon receiving a job and a vehicle, the player is required to remove, inspect, and replace the relevant broken parts.
Instead of levels, the game is divided into 'jobs' - customer vehicles with a list of problems - which the player must troubleshoot and repair. The game is played from a first-person perspective, with the player able to walk freely around the shop and a few other areas. The game is a sequel to Car Mechanic Simulator 2014, and was followed by Car Mechanic Simulator 2018. It was released on 23 April 2015 for the PC, with a mobile release the following year. Car Mechanic Simulator 2015 is a simulation video game depicting the work of an automotive mechanic.
