Simple Repair Kits

[Ty13R102]

I believe we should have the option to buy simple repair kits to help get a car off of not start able. So many times i wait around for 20-30 minutes for a mechanic when there are MULTIPLE in the city not doing anything. My RP shouldn't have to suffer because they just want to sit around and talk and not work as many of them roll dice when you come in for a repair.

And let the mechanic shops sell them along with a wax +!

Honestly, let mechanics sell them kind of like how MD sells you methadone

big +. good for QOL, maybe it fixes the car to yellow so you can be up and running, then need to go to mechanics for a full repair, this way it doesnt take from their RP.

This would be the best way, in my opinion. Add a QoL feature that lets you self-service vehicles that have stalled, especially relevant in low-population hours, where a flatbed helping you out is nothing but lost hope, but only enough to still need to bring it to the mechanic factions to let them do their thing to fully fix it up.

shouldnt be sold by mechanics, should be sold by a money sink npc maybe at mega mall

Could also add an NPC at U-tool as it would kinda make sense for it to be sold there.

I like this idea, however, I think it should have limited abilities. It should not fully fix a vehicle and instead leave the vehicle in its current damaged state including engine status and simply allow the vehicle to drive so you can get to a mechanic and either use a mechanic or the self service if no mechanics are online.

Mechanic shops are a money sink too, any money made by the business that goes over X amount "gets taken by gov", money made by the company isn't pocket change for the owner. Just promotes more interaction other than "repair" or "mods".

I think it's more than reasonable, as it removed interaction by removing or lessening the need for roadside stuff, the mechanic job is already boring enough. I think the limited amount of "forced" interactions is the main issue with the server, which makes playing every day incredibly bland.
