changedHey everyone!Sometimes a vehicle returns with an unpleasant smell, and it's up to you to ensure a fresh, clean interior welcomes the next customer. Using the spray is quick and intuitive. Simply pick it up, hold the button for a few seconds, and let the spray do its job. Watch the unpleasant odor fade away, leaving the interior fresh, clean, and ready for the next customer.
changedHey everyone!Just like our other maintenance mechanics, we wanted this system to provide clear visual feedback and satisfying results without slowing down the gameplay. A few seconds of work are enough to noticeably improve the condition of the vehicle and move on to the next task.
removedHey everyone!Our goal is to make every maintenance tool feel useful and distinct. Vacuuming, removing stains, washing the exterior, topping up fluids, and now freshening the interior all contribute to preparing a vehicle for its next customer, while each activity offers a slightly different interaction.
changedHey everyone!It's another small piece of the gameplay loop, but together these details make running a rental business feel much more authentic.
addedHey everyone!We hope you'll enjoy giving every car that "new car smell" before handing over the keys.

Hey everyone!

Every rental tells a different story. Some customers return your cars spotless, while others... leave behind something you can't always see.

That's why we're introducing another tool to your maintenance kit: the air freshener.
