Mechanic Shop Ownership & Management

ESX shop ownership — buy a garage, hire/fire staff, set labor rates, and bill customers into a society bank the owner withdraws from, all server-authoritative.

Description

An ESX shop ownership economy: a player buys a garage, hires and fires staff, sets the labor rate customers are billed at, and the takings flow into a society bank only the owner can withdraw from. This maps to the Mechanic Garage System niche (id-008, mid ~$3,500/mo) — the ownership/economy layer is the monetizable apex of the mechanic category.

Known Failure Modes & Corrective Prompt

  • Client-side society money — crediting the bank or paying wages on the client forges balances; route every move through the server.
  • Self-granted ownership/rate — letting the client hire itself or set its own rate bypasses ownership; gate hire/fire/rate/withdraw behind the verified owner.
  • One-sided net event — buy/hire/bill/withdraw on a single side never closes the economy; both sides need RegisterNetEvent + AddEventHandler.

Corrective re-prompt: "Keep all shop state in a server shops[shopId] table. Gate shop:hire, shop:fire, shop:setRate and shop:withdraw behind source == shop.owner, and gate shop:bill behind owner-or-staff. Do every removeMoney/addMoney and bank change on the server, clamp the rate, and confirm both sides register the events."

Framework Integration

  • ESX: native — xPlayer.getMoney/removeMoney/addMoney drive purchase, billing and withdrawals; identifiers key the staff list. Can back the bank with esx_society if present.
  • QBCore: swap to Player.Functions.GetMoney/RemoveMoney/AddMoney and QBCore.Functions.GetPlayer; back the bank with qb-management accounts.
  • QBox: identical to QBCore via exports.qbx_core:GetPlayer; management/banking exports map one-to-one.

Profit Potential

$250–$3500/mo on Tebex (expected ~$900). [INFERRED] $50-389 script band × est units/mo for a rising niche, against the signal-scraper tebex_snapshot corpus (n=100, median seller $11.85K/mo).

Trend Signal

rising — strategy: Maps to niches.md Niche 4 id-008 Mechanic Garage System (mid $3,500/mo, score 3.80); ownership economy is the monetizable apex.

Sales Angle

This is the flagship of the mechanic category — owning the shop is what players pay servers to access. Price it at the top of the band ($349-389) and make it the anchor of a mechanic-business bundle with the wrap studio (#25) and tow suite.
