Junk Mechanics Events Schedule: Tuning & More Countdown and What’s Next

Updated August 31, 2026 By AllThingsHow Staff 14K playing now

Junk Mechanics is Oil Leak’s junkyard car-flipping game on Roblox, where you buy damaged vehicles, repair and repaint them, and sell them on for a profit. It has grown into one of the platform’s busier experiences, with around about 14,000 people playing at once and more than about 33,000,000 visits to date.

Below you’ll find what’s live in Junk Mechanics right now and what the developer has lined up next. The current headliner is the Tuning & More update, a customization-focused content drop that went live on August 30, 2026 and runs through September 5. It’s by far the biggest item on the schedule, drawing far more interest than anything else currently announced.

We update this page as Junk Mechanics’ schedule changes. Last verified August 30.

Current and upcoming events

Tuning & More (live now)

Tuning & More is a customization update, geared toward giving players more ways to personalize their cars. It opened on August 30, 2026 at 3:35 PM ET (12:35 PM PT, 7:35 PM UTC) and is scheduled to close on September 5, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET (11:00 AM PT, 6:00 PM UTC). It has about about 5 days left to go.

This is comfortably the marquee event on the calendar, with interest already past about 330,000 players — a scale most of the game’s other updates don’t approach. Exact start and end times are in the schedule above.

The next update (starts September 5)

The developer has already slotted in the next update, set to begin September 5, 2026 at 2:30 PM ET — roughly half an hour after Tuning & More wraps — and run through September 12. So far it’s only been teased, with no details on what it adds. Interest sits at a few thousand players for now, which is typical for an update whose contents haven’t been revealed.

The two windows point to a roughly weekly rhythm: each update runs about a week, and the next one picks up the same day the current one ends. If that pattern holds, expect a fresh update roughly every seven days.
