For any seasoned mechanic or aspiring adventurer in the world of My Summer Car, a trip to Teimo's Shop in Perajarvi is an essential pilgrimage. This bustling hub is more than just a place to grab supplies; it's a vital pit stop for acquiring those crucial car parts and sustenance needed to keep your Satsuma, or any other vehicle, running smoothly. Located at the heart of Perajarvi, Teimo's establishment is unmistakable, easily identified by its vibrant exterior adorned with a plethora of colourful inscriptions. It sits proudly at the main intersection, making it notoriously difficult to miss.

Teimo's Shop: The Essentials
Teimo's Shop, named after its proprietor, serves as the primary retail outlet in Perajarvi. Its opening hours are quite accommodating for dedicated players, operating from Monday to Saturday between the hours of 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Crucially, the shop remains closed on Sundays, so plan your shopping trips accordingly. Should you arrive a little before opening hours on a regular day, a helpful tip is to venture behind the shop. Here, you'll discover a toilet facility. This humble amenity serves a dual purpose: it's a convenient spot to save your game progress and also allows you to fast-forward time by two hours, potentially getting you to opening or the next day quicker.
For those who appreciate the convenience of mail order, Teimo's shop offers a unique service. The mailbox situated on the shop's door allows you to order car parts directly to your home. Inside the shop, you'll find a tempting slot machine, offering a chance to test your luck and perhaps win some extra marks. The shop's inventory is extensive, catering to a wide range of player needs. You'll find most of the essential parts required for the initial assembly of the iconic Satsuma car. Beyond automotive components, Teimo stocks a variety of food supplies, beverages, coffee for your brewing needs, and all the necessary products for embarking on your own moonshine ventures. Additionally, you'll need to pick up charcoal here if you plan on firing up the grill in your garage. On the town map, Teimo's Shop is consistently located in the upper left corner. Accessing it is straightforward, with two primary vehicular routes available, including a handy shortcut that runs alongside the railway tracks. Alternatively, for those seeking a more scenic (and potentially faster) route, a shortcut across the lake is also an option.
The Purchasing Process
Shopping at Teimo's is designed to be intuitive. Simply click on the items you wish to purchase, adding them to your virtual shopping cart. Once you have selected all your desired goods, approach the seller and interact with the cash register. Your total will be displayed, and you can keep track of your outstanding balance by observing the money displayed. After completing your transaction, smaller items will be bagged for you. Remember to open these bags (press the 'F' key) once you are back in the safety of your house. Larger items, such as various containers, will require your character to physically carry them. This is where having a vehicle, like your trusty minibike or car, parked near the shop becomes incredibly important for efficiently transporting your purchases back to your boat or home.
Transporting Your Haul: Boat vs. Car
At the early stages of the game, utilising your boat for trips to Teimo's is often the most efficient method for transporting larger quantities of goods. It is highly recommended to bring your Jonnes minibike along for these excursions. The minibike significantly speeds up the process of moving your purchases from the shop to the boat's loading area. Without it, you'll find yourself making numerous trips on foot, carrying each bag individually, which can be time-consuming.
By Boat: A Detailed Route
To reach Teimo's by boat from your home pier, set a course to the left of the radio mast. You'll need to navigate past an island, keeping it to your left. Continue steering towards the lighter patch of trees visible on the horizon – this is your destination. As you draw nearer, you'll begin to discern two clearings on the shore, devoid of trees, indicating you're in the right vicinity. Upon reaching the shore, aim for the left-hand pier, which features a bridge. Alternatively, you can simply beach your boat on the grassy shoreline, which is often closer to the shop itself. Once on land, mount your minibike and head towards the road. Turn left at the upcoming intersection, and you'll soon find yourself at Teimo's. After completing your shopping, place the bags or containers adjacent to your vehicle. Engage the minibike's driving mode, start the engine, and you can then pick up your purchases. You can simultaneously carry goods and operate the minibike using the standard WASD controls. Navigate back to the dock, unload your items, and return for any remaining purchases. Repeat this process until all your goods are safely loaded onto the boat.
Don't forget to load the minibike onto the boat as well! When heading back home, orient yourself towards the distinctive pair of tree clumps, focusing on the left one. Be aware that the boat's movement can cause the minibike to shift and potentially fall overboard, so secure it as best you can. As you approach your home, the island you passed earlier will now be on your right. The closer you get to the tree clumps, the more visible the treeless section of your shore will become, followed by your own pier. Once ashore, unload your goods and transport them to your house.
By Car or Tractor: Navigational Options
If you opt for a land-based journey, either with your tractor or the more capable Ruscko car, you have a couple of route choices. You can head left, behind the railway tracks, or take the path to the right. A convenient shortcut also exists along the railway tracks themselves. The route to the left primarily consists of field roads, which can be somewhat perilous for faster vehicles. A more detailed description of this route is available in the chapter dedicated to the Ruscko. If you choose the rightward path, after crossing the railroad tracks, continue your journey until the next intersection and then turn right again. This will eventually lead you to an asphalt road, which is a much safer and faster option for your car. This asphalt road is even suitable for driving a tractor!
Along the asphalt route, you'll notice the distinctive ski jumps, a landmark indicating your proximity to Perajarvi. It's worth noting that the tractor, while capable of reaching the shop, has limited cargo space for larger purchases, so plan accordingly if you're using this method.

Adjacent Amenities: Gas Station and Nappo Pub
Conveniently located right next to Teimo's Shop is the local gas station. Here, you can refuel your vehicles directly from the pumps or fill up portable canisters with fuel. The adjacent tank contains fuel oil, which can be used as a substitute for diesel. However, be mindful of potential fines if you are caught using fuel oil improperly. Filling your uncle's vehicles (the blue van or the Gifu sewage tanker) with oil can lead to him selling them to you. Payment for fuel is made at the shop's checkout counter.
Also sharing the same building is the Nappo Pub. This establishment opens its doors after Teimo's Shop closes, serving patrons from 8:00 PM until 2:00 AM. Inside, you can mingle with the local patrons, enjoy food and drinks, and try your luck on the arcade machines. Occasionally, you might receive a late-night call to pick up a rather inebriated NPC known as Jokke and drive him home. Details on this particular job can be found in the dedicated Jobs section of this guide.
