Guides for every part of life in the city.

Towing

Towing is part of the mechanic job. Your shop lends you a flatbed or a hook tow truck to bring broken cars in, take NPC call-outs and do police impound tows. The city pays these jobs into your shop's balance.

Before you begin

  • A job at a mechanic shop, on duty - see Mechanic Job.
  • A tow truck spot placed at your shop.
  • NPC breakdowns and drop-offs: your shop open with someone on duty.
  • Roadside fixes: a Toolbox, a Diagnostic Laptop and parts or patch materials.

Police impound tows

  1. When an officer impounds a car, you get an IMPOUND TOW offer - press Y. Your shop doesn't need to be open.
  2. A red blip marks the car and a green blip the impound lot. Tow it there.

Customers can also call your shop from Phone → Services. If nobody takes the request within a couple of minutes, the caller is offered an NPC tow and your shop loses the job.

Costs & rewards

  • A $500 deposit is held from the business balance while a tow truck is out, back when you return it.
  • Breakdowns pay roughly $450-$900, drop-offs $600-$1,400, impound tows $350 - all into the business, plus mechanic XP.
