How to buy all spare parts at once in Car Mechanic Simulator 2018: 5 proven methods

Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 is a cult car repair simulator where every bolt counts. But what to do if you are tired of buying parts one by one to restore cars, but want to immediately fill the warehouse with all the necessary spare parts? In this guide we will look at legal and not so methods for bulk purchasing of parts, including cheats, modifications and hidden game mechanics.

It is important to understand: developers from Red Dot Games They did not provide the “buy everything at once” function in the basic version. However, the community has found workarounds - from simple interface tricks to deep edits to game files. We tested all methods on the current version of the game (including 2026 updates) and selected only those that work.

If you are tired of spending hours clicking on the catalog or want to optimize your passage for streams/videos, this guide is for you. But remember: some methods may lead to bans in multiplayer or corrupted saves. All risks are on your conscience!

1. Legal way: bulk purchase through "Quick Order"

The safest method that does not require intervention in the game files. Suitable for those who don't want to risk saving, but are willing to spend a little more time.

B CMS 2018 There is a hidden "Quick Order" function that allows you to add several items to your cart at the same time. Here's how to use it:

• 📋 Open the spare parts purchase menu (Esc → Spare parts → Buy).
• 🔍 In the search bar, enter the name of the part (for example, “piston”).
• 🛒 Click Shift + LMB for any item from the list - it will be added to the cart, but the menu will not close.
• 🔄 Repeat the action for all the desired items, then click “Buy”.

This method also works for filters by category (for example, "Brake system"). The main disadvantage is that you can’t buy it all the details in the game at a time, only those that are displayed on the current catalog page (maximum 20 items). But there are no risks for conservation!

2. Cheats via the console: command "giveallparts"

For those who are not afraid of experiments, in Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 There is a debug console with a command to get all the details. This method is only suitable for single player play!

Activation instructions:

1. Close the game and go to your save folder:

   C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\Car Mechanic Simulator 2018\Saves

2. Create a backup copy of your current save (copy the folder with the slot number).
3. Launch the game, load your save and click ~ (tilde) to open the console.
4. Enter the command:

   giveallparts

5. Confirm the action with the key Enter.

After executing the command, all parts will appear in the warehouse in quantities 999 pieces. But be careful:

Make sure the game is not in multiplayer|Create a save backup|Test commands on the test slot|Do not use cheats in online competitions

-->

⚠️ Attention: Team giveallparts may break progression in some quests that require you to buy parts from specific vendors. For example, tasks from Barney or Jim's may become impossible.

3. Mods for mass purchase: Cheat Engine and Save Editor

If built-in cheats don't work or you want more flexible control, third-party utilities come to the rescue. The most popular tools for CMS 2018:

• 💻 Cheat Engine — allows you to edit memory values (amount of money, parts).
• 📄 Save Editor — a specialized save editor for the game.
• 🔧 Mod "Unlimited Parts" — adds a “Buy All” button to the purchase menu.

Let's take a closer look at working with Save Editor:

1. Download Save Editor (check compatibility with your version of the game).
2. Open the program and load your save (.sav file).
3. Go to the tab Inventory and set the value 999 for all details.
4. Save the changes and load the modified save in the game.

The advantage of this method is that you can selectively add only the parts you need without filling your warehouse with junk. For example, keep only spare parts for Jaguar E-Type or Ford Mustang.

Method	Difficulty	Risks	Efficiency
Quick order (Shift+LMB)	⭐	No	Limited to 20 items at a time
Console command	⭐⭐	Quests may break	All details at once
Save Editor	⭐⭐⭐	May damage your save	Selective parts in any quantity
Mod "Unlimited Parts"	⭐⭐	Conflicts with other mods	"Buy all" button in the menu

4. Exploitation of bugs: duplication of parts through warehouses

B Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 There are several glitches that allow you to duplicate spare parts without cheats. One of the most reliable is a bug with moving parts between warehouses.

Step by step instructions:

1. Buy at least 1 copy the desired part (for example, "Cylinder head").
2. Open the warehouse menu (Esc → Warehouse) and move the part to second warehouse slot.
3. Quickly press Esc, then open the warehouse menu again - the part will remain in both the first and second warehouse.
4. Repeat the action until you get the required amount.

This bug does not work with all parts, but with most standard spare parts (brake pads, filters, spark plugs). The main thing is to act quickly, otherwise the game will “understand” that you are duplicating items and will reset the extra ones.

How to speed up the duplication process?

Use keyboard macros (such as AutoHotkey) to automate Esc presses. The duplication speed will increase by 3-4 times, but the risk of “breaking” the save will also increase.

⚠️ Attention: After major updates (eg. Patch 1.4.5) this bug can be fixed. Always check the relevance of the method on forums, for example on Steam Community.

5. Automation of purchases through scripts (for advanced)

If you are good at programming, you can write a script for an autoclicker that will simulate the purchase of parts through the game interface. This method does not require hacking game files, but will require some setup.

Example script for AutoHotkey (buys all parts on the current catalog page):

#Persistent
SetTitleMatchMode, 2

; Activating the script using F6
F6::
WinActivate, Car Mechanic Simulator 2018
Sleep, 500
Loop, 20 { ; 20 details per page
Send, {Shift down}{LButton}{Shift up}
Sleep, 100
Send, {Down}
Sleep, 50
}
Send, {Enter} ; Purchase Confirmation
Return

For the script to work correctly:

• 🖱️ Set up delays (Sleep) according to the speed of your PC.
• 📌 Make sure that the game resolution and window position do not change.
• 🔄 To purchase all the parts in the game, you will have to run the script on each page of the catalog.

This method takes the longest, but 100% safe — the game will not distinguish between an autoclicker and manual actions. Suitable for streamers who don't want to use cheats.

6. Alternative methods: trading with NPCs and auction

If you don't need everything parts in the game, but only specific ones for repair, you can use the trading mechanics:

• 🤝 Exchange with Barney: This NPC sometimes has rare parts at a reduced price. Check his inventory every game day.
• 🏆 Auction: in the menu Esc → Auction You can buy parts from other players (in multiplayer) or from the AI.
• 🔧 Car dismantling: some parts are cheaper to get by buying a damaged car and disassembling it (Esc → Cars → Buy).

For example, Porsche 911 suspension at auction it can cost 2 times cheaper than in the catalogue. And Barney Sometimes unique parts appear that cannot be purchased in the usual way (for example, drift turbocharger).

The downside of this method is that you have to spend time monitoring offers. But you will save money and avoid the risks associated with cheats.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about mass purchasing of parts

Can I get banned for using cheats in a single player game?

In theory, no, since the single-player campaign is not synchronized with the servers. However, if you load a modified save into multiplayer or the cloud, Steam may issue a warning for "invalid data." We recommend disabling cloud saves before using cheats.

How to return the game to its original state after cheats?

Delete the save folder along the path Documents\My Games\Car Mechanic Simulator 2018\Saves and restart the game - it will create a clean save. You can also use the function New game in the main menu.

Does the giveallparts command work in Car Mechanic Simulator 2021?

No, in CMS 2021 The cheat system has been completely redesigned. For the new version you need separate mod. The methods in this article are only suitable for Car Mechanic Simulator 2018.

Is it possible to buy all the parts for real money (microtransactions)?

No, in CMS 2018 there is no micropayment system. All parts are purchased only with in-game currency. If you see offers to buy “golden bolts” for real money, this is a scam!

Why do some details disappear after using the Save Editor?

This occurs due to a part ID conflict. Some modifications (for example, DLC cars) have unique spare parts that are not compatible with standard inventory slots. Before editing a save, disable all DLC in Steam → Properties → DLC.
