An ESX station where an NPC mechanic fully repairs your vehicle for a fee or dispatches a flatbed, both charged server-side.

Description

A mechanic station for ESX servers: a persistent NPC mechanic stands at a fixed point; pressing E repairs the player's vehicle completely (health + visual deformation) for a fee, while pressing G dispatches a flatbed tow truck for a larger fee. It gives players a money sink to recover from the damage model and a roleplay anchor for mechanic jobs.

Known Failure Modes

  • Partial repair — SetVehicleFixed alone leaves dents; require SetVehicleEngineHealth/SetVehicleBodyHealth/SetVehicleDeformationFixed together.
  • Wandering ped — without SetBlockingOfNonTemporaryEvents + invincibility the mechanic flees or dies; mandate both.
  • Client-side charge — deducting the fee client-side is exploitable; move removeMoney server-side.
  • Ped re-spawn loop — spawning the ped in a Wait(0) loop creates duplicates; spawn once in a guarded thread.

Integration Notes

client.lua + server.lua; fxmanifest.lua lists both with dependency 'es_extended'. Pairs naturally with the damage model (entry 07) as its recovery sink. Test: ensure <resource>, damage a car, drive to [STATION_COORDS], press E to repair (cash drops, car is pristine) and G to get a flatbed.

Profit Potential

$320–$4400/mo on Tebex (expected ~$1150). [INFERRED] Mechanic-job content sells strongly; the NPC and tow scope plus a server-side economy place it in the upper band.

Trend Signal

↗ rising — vehicle modding/tuning niche-selection 3.75; corpus ox_fuel active.

Sales Angle

Sell as the mechanic-job anchor and recovery sink for the damage model — NPC repair plus a flatbed tow, both charged server-side. Recommend $179 on Tebex.
