Junk Mechanics Beginner Guide
Find a junk car through the flow visible in-game, repair and repaint it, sell it for cash, then use progression to work toward rarer vehicles.
Start by finding a junk car, following the visible repair and repaint prompts, reviewing the sale outcome in your own session, then choosing whether to repeat the loop or collect rarer vehicles. Exact controls, parts, costs, prices, locations, and named cars remain unknown; use the current game UI when a step differs.
The how-to-play and noob-to-pro path is the same staged official loop: buy or find a damaged vehicle, repair and repaint it, sell for cash, unlock progress, and collect rarer vehicles. Progress comes from repeating what the game visibly supports, not from invented UI instructions or earnings claims.
This broad buy-and-restore sequence includes a broad restoration step with explicit limits. This bounded beginner walkthrough does not claim exact UI, parts, costs, or optimal actions.
Onboarding order
Follow the first-session route
1. Find a junk car
Use the acquisition options currently shown to you. Do not rely on a video for a fixed location, menu, or purchase price.
2. Follow the repair and repaint prompts
Work through the steps shown for your vehicle. The exact parts, controls, stations, and costs may differ from incomplete community reports.
3. Review the sale outcome
Sell the restored vehicle for cash when you are ready. Compare only the context visible in your own session; no fixed margin is promised here.
4. Choose the next goal
Repeat the loop to learn it, review your own flip in the Money Guide, or use the Vehicle Goal Guide for collection direction.
Core lessons
Understand these systems first
Learn one restoration before optimizing
Complete one full vehicle loop so you understand what the game asks you to repair and when the sale offer appears.
Treat rarer vehicles as a later goal
The game describes rarer vehicles as unlock and collection goals, but this guide does not claim a catalog, rarity order, or unlock requirement.
If stuck
First-session roadblocks
You cannot find the next repair action
Return to the vehicle and follow the prompts visible in your session. This guide cannot safely supply an exact button or part name.
Your sale result differs from a video
Use the offer shown in your game and keep it as personal session context; do not treat the video as a stable price list.
You cannot find a reported vehicle
Check the Cars page. Named-car availability and unlock details are not currently supported well enough to promise a route.
Avoid
Beginner mistakes
Copying exact controls from an old clip
The broad loop is supported, but exact interface and station steps are not. Follow the current game prompts.
Assuming every sale has the same margin
No stable purchase, repair, or sale dataset supports a universal profit claim.
Treating a reported car as confirmed
Do not plan around a vehicle name, rarity, stat, or unlock path until you can see it in your own game or it gains reliable support.
