Repairing

So you've banged your car a few too many times and your now smoking out but you have no idea where to go or what to do... Look no further, here we will go through how to repair your vehicle, where you will find these locations and what to do if your car has died nowhere near these locations!

Repair Logic

• When you crash your car the damage percentage starting from 0 will count up and up, when you reach a point where you have hit the car too many times or the percentage is too high your car will begin to smoke and reduce in power until it fully smokes out and the car becomes undriveable. You repair your vehicle to reset the damage percentage and ensure the car is drivable.
  
• Repair prices may vary depending on the type of car you own and what it is classified as, typically Supercars and Hypercars will cost more to repair per % than your typical road car. 
• Repairs prices will fluctuate depending on how badly damaged your car is, if your car is heavily damaged and is smoking it will cost more to repair than it would if the car was lightly scraped.
• The time it takes to repair a car will also vary based on how damaged the vehicle is, as a guider, the higher the price of repair = the longer the repair will take. Sometimes this may take up to a minute.
• In Police Chases you MAY NOT repair your vehicle whilst in active pursuit unless specifically instructed too by the Police chasing you, this will only really happen when a chase is interrupted due to head pops and the car gets damaged because of this reason.

Repair Stations

Option number 1! You can find repair stations dotted across the entirety of the map and are accompanied with a POI which can be identified by their spanner shaped icon.

When you arrive to this location ensure your car is stationary and then you will be presented with the option to repair your car for a fee. When you press "E" repairs will begin and the hood if present will rise and once it closes the car will repair and look brand new! This is the most common way to repair a car and is the fastest way.

Vehicle Garages

Option number 2! Personal garages may be used to repair a vehicle, they are located in many popular spots within the city and can be located with the POI in the shape of a blue hangar icon.

As well as storing owned vehicles they can also serve as a pretty good repair station too! Different to repair stations you can pay to repair the vehicle without needing to be inside it, you can run off do whatever and it will repair inside the garage. A timer will be shown on how long is left until the car is ready to use again. Once this timer expires you can pull the vehicle out and damage it again until your hearts content!

DW Customs Services

Option number 3! DW Customs roadside service can prove very valuable if you want to restore your car but cannot get to a repair station or garage and save you a lot of money! You can find DW Customs on your phone and by pressing "Y" then navigating to the services app you can find DW Customs contact icon.

You can either message or call this number and a mechanic will respond whenever they are available, text is preferred as this will notify them of your location also. Typically you will be asked to text so they can see your location and reach out to you. When a mechanic arrives they will go through the repair process with you! This service may also be used to refuel a car if your car runs out of fuel and you are not able to replenish it.
