About the game

A free browser game about running an honest repair shop, from one van in a driveway to a name people know across the county.

Supercanic: Shop Empire is a management game. You diagnose faults, price the work, order the parts and live with what you charged people. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing to install, no account, and your progress is saved on your own device.

Why it exists

Supercanic is a real auto repair and mobile mechanic business in Hemet, serving Riverside County. The game is built on the same idea the shop runs on: diagnose it properly, quote it straight, and stand behind the work. It's a game about those trade-offs being genuinely difficult — the cheap part really is cheaper, and it really does come back.

What's actually real in it

• The cars. Every vehicle is a real year, make and model, validated against the US federal vehicle catalogue.
• The recalls. Recall jobs are genuine NHTSA safety campaigns, with the real campaign number, summary, consequence and remedy.
• The complaints. Owner reports come from NHTSA's public complaint database — written by actual owners of that exact vehicle.
• The certifications. The 13 exam tracks come from MechanicRank, with real questions and the real 75% pass mark.
• The competition. Rival shops are real businesses from the MechanicRank directory, listed with their real public ratings.
