How to Set Up a Mechanic Shop in FiveM
· 7 min read
A mechanic shop turns car ownership into an ongoing relationship — repairs after crashes, performance upgrades, cosmetic tuning. It's one of the most reliably popular jobs on any RP server. Here's how to build one.
What a mechanic shop does
- Repairs damaged vehicles for a fee.
- Sells performance and cosmetic upgrades.
- Gives mechanics a paid, interactive job loop.
1. Pick a tuning/mechanic script
The market is full of options, from simple repair points to full tuning garages with dyno animations. Premium, well-supported resources like our partner Glory Scripts save you a lot of integration headaches.
2. Set it up as a job
Tie the shop to a mechanic job so only on-duty workers can charge for repairs. If you're new to jobs, start with our custom job guide.
3. Stock the upgrade menu
Performance and cosmetic options pull from the game's tuning system — and from any custom rims you've installed. The more customization on offer, the more reason players have to keep coming back.
4. Give them service vehicles
Mechanics need tow and flatbed vehicles to recover wrecks. Equip the job from our utility vehicles so the impound loop actually works.
A mechanic shop, a dealership and vehicle keys together form the full car-ownership lifecycle that keeps a server's economy turning.
