Repairing Vehicles

Repairing Vehicles in CIT can be done in several different ways depending on where you are, what you have, and what side or job you are using.

Overview

Vehicles in CIT can be repaired:

with a `Repair Kit`
at a `Pay n' Spray`
by a `Mechanic`
for free if you have `DL1+`
with /lawrepair inside an apartment
with /repair inside `Car Show`
with /repair inside the `Law Dimension`

Each method works in a different way.

Repair Kit

A `Repair Kit` is a direct item-based way to repair a vehicle.

To use it:

make sure you have a `Repair Kit`
press X
click the vehicle
choose `Use Repair Kit`

This is one of the standard ways to repair a vehicle anywhere it can be used.

Pay n' Spray

`Pay n' Spray` is one of the main repair locations in CIT.

To repair a vehicle there:

drive into any `Pay n' Spray`
enter the repair marker inside the garage
slow down or stop enough while inside the marker

`Pay n' Spray` uses:

the `Car Repair` blip
a spray-can icon
a red circular repair marker inside the garage

Important notes

At `Pay n' Spray`:

repairs still start if you entered too fast, as long as you slow down or stop enough inside the marker
if the vehicle is already inside the marker, entering it repairs it

Mechanic

`Mechanic` is a civilian service job that can repair other vehicles.

To repair a vehicle as a `Mechanic`:

stand next to the vehicle
press X
click the vehicle
select `Repair Vehicle`

The vehicle owner then:

accepts
or declines

This is the player-service repair method.

DL1+ free repair

Players with `DL1+` can repair vehicles:

without using `Repair Kits`

This is another standard repair option.

Apartment repair

Inside an apartment, use:

/lawrepair

This repairs your vehicle while you are there.

Car Show repair

Inside `Car Show`, use:

/repair

This is used to:

fix vehicle panels

Law Dimension repair

Inside the `Law Dimension`, one of the supported vehicle commands is:

/repair

This is a repair option available there.

Lifetime Motor Club Membership

`Lifetime Motor Club Membership` adds extra repair benefits.

It gives:

free unlimited `Pay n' Spray` repairs
free roadside repairs

It applies to:

your owned vehicles
job-marker spawned vehicles

For roadside repairs:

press X
click the vehicle
use `Use Repair Kit`

You do not need to be:

the driver

Choosing the right repair method

Different repair methods are useful in different situations:

use a `Repair Kit` if you want a direct item-based repair
use `Pay n' Spray` for garage repairs
use a `Mechanic` if you want another player to repair your vehicle
use /lawrepair inside an apartment
use /repair inside `Car Show`
use /repair in the `Law Dimension`
use `DL1+` free repair if you have that access
use `Lifetime Motor Club Membership` benefits if you own it

Notes

`Repair Kit`, `Pay n' Spray`, `Mechanic`, and `DL1+` are the main general repair methods.
Apartment, `Car Show`, and `Law Dimension` repairs are location-based methods.
`Lifetime Motor Club Membership` improves both `Pay n' Spray` and roadside repair use.
