Standard Repair: Free Fix at Repair Shops

When your vehicle takes damage from crashes or collisions, the damage bar at the top of the screen shows red. To repair it for free, drive to any repair shop on the map — look for "Quick Fix Repair Shop" or "Go Car" locations. Drive into the building, then use the repair option on your vehicle's menu. The repair is instant and completely free, restoring your vehicle to full condition regardless of how much damage it has taken.

The dealership near spawn also has a repair station. You do not need to visit a specific shop — any repair shop on the map works identically. Use your phone's GPS to find the nearest repair shop if you are unfamiliar with the area. Standard repairs do not change your vehicle's appearance, mileage, or modifications — they only restore the damage bar.

Interactive Repair: Junkyard Restoration

Update 5.7.0 (Thanksgiving 2025) introduced an interactive repair system at the dealership repair station, primarily used for junkyard vehicles. This is a detailed, multi-step process that simulates real-world vehicle restoration. Here is the full process:

1. Open the hood — interact with the hood latch and drag it away from the engine bay to expose the engine. 2. Repair engine components — drag damaged parts to the repair machine, which processes them back to working condition. 3. Wash the vehicle — use the sink/wash station to clean the exterior. 4. Battery service — uninstall the battery, place it on the charger, wait for it to recharge, then reinstall it. 5. Replace tires — visit the parts seller to purchase new tires (cheapest options work fine), then install all four wheels. 6. Paint — choose a new color and apply it at the paint booth.

This process costs money for new parts (tires, paint) but transforms a damaged junkyard vehicle into a sellable or drivable car. The entire system is highly interactive — you physically drag parts, watch animations, and see the vehicle transform step by step. Players have described it as "so cool" and "so interactive" compared to the simple one-click repair at standard shops.

When to Use Each Repair Method

Use standard repair shops for everyday damage from crashes, collisions, or high-speed impacts. These are free, instant, and available across the map. Use the interactive dealership repair station when you have purchased a junkyard vehicle that needs full restoration — this is the only way to repair junkyard purchases and is also the method used for the junkyard flip money-making strategy (buy cheap → repair → sell for profit).

Damage Mechanics

Your vehicle has a visible damage bar at the top of the screen. Crashing into objects, other vehicles, or driving at high speeds into barriers fills this bar with red. While damaged, your vehicle may handle differently or lose speed. The damage bar does not permanently destroy your vehicle — it can always be fully restored at a repair shop. The interactive repair system also resets the vehicle's cosmetic condition (scratches, dents) in addition to the damage bar.

Update 5.9.6 Towing & Repair Improvements

The August 2026 update (5.9.6) revamped towing mechanics and the towing interface, making it easier to transport damaged vehicles to repair stations. Improved towing mechanics provide a smoother experience when you need to move a non-drivable vehicle. The new tow truck addition and updated towing interface complement the existing repair shop network.
