Welcome to Shady Tree Auto Repair. We guarantee that your car will be running smoothly after we're done with it (and you might even have some money leftover...)

In Shady Mechanic, you play a... well... shady mechanic out to make as much money as you can off of each customer. But beware, some customers are more car-savvy than others and may walk out if you try to charge them too much. Can you spot the difference and stay in business? 

Shady Mechanic is a text-based, push-your-luck style game that is sure to have you laughing all the way to the bank!
