My Summer Car Maps & Locations Guide — Every Area Covered

My Summer Car is a brutally authentic Finnish countryside survival and car-building simulator set in 1990s rural Finland. You must assemble a Satsuma AE86 car from hundreds of individual parts, bolt by bolt, while managing hunger, thirst, fatigue, and the ever-present temptation of beer. The game's world is a fully realized Finnish summer experience — you can sauna, go fishing, drive a sewage truck for money, or get killed by a drunk driver on a country road. The physics-based car assembly requires mechanical knowledge, and one mis-tightened bolt means your engine falls apart at highway speed.

My Summer Car features distinct areas with increasing difficulty. This guide covers every major location in progression order — what to do, what to get, and when to move on. For the step-by-step path, see our walkthrough.

Area Progression Order

Home — Starting Area

Your family's rural property with the garage (Satsuma assembly), sauna, bedroom (save point), kitchen (food storage), and yard (firewood chopping). Home is your base of operations for the entire game. The garage has a lift for underneath access.

What to Do Here

• Learn the basics of car assembly — this is where you practice without heavy punishment.
• Collect starting resources and your first equipment upgrade.
• Clear all main content before moving to Fleetari Repair Shop.
• If you're struggling, read our beginner's guide.

Fleetari Repair Shop — Early Game

The local car mechanic who sells advanced parts, performs repairs, and handles paint jobs. Fleetari's prices are high but he has parts not available elsewhere. He also inspects your car for rally eligibility. Located on the main road.

What to Do Here

• Focus on mastering survival needs — it's critical from this point on.
• Farm for Wrench Set if you don't have it yet.
• Complete all objectives for maximum rewards.
• Prepare for the difficulty spike in Teimo Shop.

Teimo Shop — Mid Game

The only store in town selling groceries, motor oil, brake fluid, and basic car parts (filters, spark plugs). Teimo also sells beer, sausages, and cigarettes. Open during daytime only. Essential for daily survival supplies.

What to Do Here

• This is the main skill check. Bring an optimized build.
• Satsuma Car becomes accessible here — prioritize getting it.
• Master Finnish countryside for the boss encounters.
• Check our boss guide if you get stuck.

Highway — Late Game

The main asphalt road connecting all locations. NPC drivers use this road and WILL kill you if you're in their way (drunk driving NPCs are common). The highway is the fastest route between locations but the most dangerous. Speed limit signs exist but nobody follows them.

What to Do Here

• Full build optimization is expected by this point.
• Satsuma Car should be your primary, fully upgraded.
• part ordering mastery starts mattering here.
• Farm resources for the push into Dirt Track.

Dirt Track — Endgame

The rally course used for the local race event. A winding dirt road through forest with jumps, tight turns, and water crossings. Practice the track before race day. The rally is one of the game's main money-making and achievement goals.

What to Do Here

• This is endgame. Best-in-slot gear and a perfected build are mandatory.
• See our boss guide for endgame fight strategies.
• The reward loop: clear content → upgrade → push harder content.
• Experiment with Fisherman for variety once you've mastered the meta.

Exploration Tips

1. Clear areas in order — Home → Fleetari Repair Shop → Teimo Shop → Highway → Dirt Track. Skipping areas means missing resources you'll need later.
2. Check every corner — Hidden caches and secrets are often in non-obvious locations.
3. Match your equipment — Some areas favor different equipment types.
4. Read the walkthrough — Our walkthrough provides exact progression milestones for each area.
5. Don't rush — Clearing an area fully gives more resources than speedrunning two areas.
