Custom Car Shop — Career Mode Overhaul
Strip It. Build It. Tune It. Sell It.
Ever wished BeamNG Career Mode rewarded you for building and selling custom vehicles instead of just stripping cars for parts?
Custom Car Shop expands the automotive business side of Career Mode, making it more rewarding to buy vehicles, modify them, tune them, and sell them for a potential profit—all while preserving the original chop-shop gameplay.
Start small by purchasing inexpensive vehicles, stripping them for valuable parts, and selling those parts to build your cash reserves. Once you've established enough working capital, you can invest in restoring vehicles, building performance cars, and creating complete custom builds for resale.
Or don't choose between the two! Run a profitable salvage operation alongside your custom vehicle business.
From buying junkers and selling parts to building six-figure dream machines, how you grow your automotive empire is entirely up to you.
