Description

A QBCore mechanic job: aim at a vehicle and /repair to fix engine and body damage after a timed wait, or /installpart <name> to fit a performance mod. Payments and part costs are handled server-side so money can't be spoofed. This is the workshop loop for any tuning/garage server.

Prompt Template

You are writing a FiveM resource for qb-core (exports GetCoreObject).

Known Failure Modes

  • Missing mod kit — SetVehicleMod does nothing unless you call SetVehicleModKit(veh, 0) first. Always set the kit before any mod.
  • Client-side billing — charging via the client lets players self-grant money. Do RemoveMoney on the server and only then confirm the install.
  • Raw entity over the net — entity handles aren't valid on other clients/server. Send NetworkGetNetworkIdFromEntity(veh) and resolve with NetToVeh.
  • No job gate — without the mechanic job check anyone can repair/tune for free. Validate Player.PlayerData.job.name server-side.

Integration Notes

  • Split the banners into client.lua and server.lua; list both in fxmanifest.lua and add qb-core as a dependency.
  • Requires a mechanic job in your QBCore shared/jobs.lua.
  • Test on a dev server: spawn a car, damage it, /repair, then /installpart turbo and confirm cash is deducted and the mod applies.

Profit Potential

$500–$7000/mo on Tebex (expected ~$1800). [INFERRED] priced inside the $50-389 script band against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (median seller $11.85K/mo, n=100), scaled for a hot job-systems niche at intermediate difficulty — tuning/garage servers are a deep, high-spend audience.

Trend Signal

🔥 hot — custom FiveM job systems = niche-selection LAUNCH #1 (4.75).

Sales Angle

Position for the car-culture/tuning crowd: server-priced repairs and mod installs that money-spoofers can't game. List at $189 as the QBCore mechanic core, with the one-line ESX/QBox swap already documented.
