Guides for every part of life in the city.

Fuel & Repairs

Cars use fuel and their parts wear out: engine, brakes, clutch / gearbox, tyres, suspension, radiator and battery, plus the bodywork. Driving flat out and crashes wear them faster. There are no repair kits in the city - cars are fixed by mechanics.

Before you begin

  • Cash for fuel - pumps and jerry cans don't take card.
  • Money for repairs - phone invoice at a player shop, card at an NPC garage.

Filling up at a gas station

Gas stations show as Gas Station blips on the map.

  1. Park with the pump on the left side of your car (the fuel cap side).
  2. Third eye (hold Left Alt) on the pump → Get nozzle, then on your car → Attach Nozzle. If you see "The vehicle tank is on the other side", turn the car around.
  3. Third eye on the pump → Put fuel, type the litres (or the price) and press Refill.
  4. The nozzle goes back by itself.

Using a jerry can

  1. Third eye on a pump → Buy Jerry Can. You get a Petrol Can holding 40 litres.
  2. Hold the can like a weapon, third eye on the car → Refill Fuel.
  3. To top the can up, hold it at a pump and pick Refill Jerry Can.

Getting repaired at a player shop

Player mechanic shops have a wrench blip:

Sandy Shores MechanicNo owner yet - apply!

  1. Drive in while the shop is open, or call it: Phone → Services → the shop's line.
  2. The mechanic checks your car and sends you a work order. Pay it: Phone → Fleeca → invoices.
  3. Stay with them while they work. A quick patch is cheap but only brings a part up to about 60%; a new part is usually 100%, and better tiers make the car faster.
  4. When everything is done you get "Your car is ready" and an e-mail.

When no mechanic is on duty

  1. Drive to an NPC garage: Hayes Autos (NPC) or Paleto Garage (NPC) (grey wrench blips).
  2. Park in the bay, third eye on the NPC → Ask for a repair → Pay by card.

The NPC only works while no player mechanic is on duty and charges about double. Broken down and nobody answers the shop's phone? After a couple of minutes you're offered an NPC tow to the nearest NPC garage.

Car wash

Drive into a shop's wash bay while it's open, press E at Car wash and pay.

Warning lights

  • Warning lights on the HUD (above the seatbelt and cruise icons) cover each part: yellow means worn, blinking red means almost dead. ODO under your speed is the mileage.
  • Your garage list shows each car as Good, Worn or Bad. Phone → My Cars shows condition, mileage, where the car is and its service log.
