BIG +1 mechanics deserve a little more depth considering how important they are to the in-game economy

+1 everything but the "seeing other mechanic shop vehicles blips"

Irl your local mechanic shop wouldn't be able to track another shop's vehicles on their own gps systems. Same goes with a shared freq similar to department radio. Some mechanics keep suggesting that we should be able to communicate with other shops on radio but to me that's not realistic.

Get rid of the whole /me roleplay when it comes to getting your car fixed at a repair shop, because if we're being honest, no one is paying attention to that stuff. You're just doing it for the sake of doing it.

Instead;

• Have scripted car jacks and lifts inside the mechanic shops.
• Add [E] Fix Vehicle and [E] Inspect Vehicle World Interaction options to a vehicle on a lift.
• Add an engine inventory with a several car parts inside it, such as Spark Plug, Alternator, Fan Belt, Oil Filter.
• The damage of those car parts would correspond to the vehicle health, so the more damage, the more engine parts need replacing but it would be random which car parts are damaged.
• If the car part was gray, it's functional. If it's red, then it's needs replacing
• Mechanics would have the car parts inside their /fl - faction locker.
• They would have to drag the parts into the inventory slots, to fix the car parts.
• Once all the damaged parts are replaced, the mechanic could hit Fix Vehicle which would repair the vehicle.

• Stock can be delivered by truckers, giving players more locations.
• Stock can be restocked by the faction, with the faction being charged to import these parts.

This part has to be -1 for me, it means we will depend a lot on truckers and if the job is dead or no truckers are available we are screwed.

Massive +1 for me. it's a bit repetitive just doing /me having a script that will make us need timing and then the server just has an automated script because not all the mechanics have an actual mechanical experience or knowledge.

Burger shot is fulfilled by truckers, and it works perfectly fine.
