How to Become a Mechanic

Vehicle Impound

A Mechanic is one of the Few jobs you can become to make some money. You can go ahead and collect vehicles and take them to the impound yard. Or you can respond to requests and messages to assist civilians in need of a small tire change or someone in need of a tow back to a local garage.

Impound Map Location

To become a Mechanic you will be required to own a Mechanic/Impound Licence, this can be purchased from City Hall. Once you have the License you can head to the Vehicle Impound lot located on Innocence Boulevard.

Going On Duty and Benefits

Once you have the License you need to head into the impound and head over to the right hand side where you will have the option to Go On Duty (Yellow Marker). Once you are on duty you will gain access to the Mechanic Abilities.

You will now be able to get a Flatbed, More information Below.

As a Mechanic you can take Phone calls to go and help stranded civilians or take a contract to collect a vehicle, take it to the impound and 'impound' it. You can start a contract in same place you clocked in. When level 1 mechanic you can start a contract in a Flatbed with CAPS > Mechanic Interactions > Take NPC Job. The more contracts you complete, the higher your mechanic level will become.

If you are helping other civilians you can give them an invoice for the cost of the repairs and if necessary a tow back to safety.

To Impound a vehicle, park close to it, get out of your truck and stand next to it. Do CAPS > Interactions and Attach/Detach Vehicle. Take it to the underground area at the impound yard, Again get out of the truck, look at the vehicle CAPS > Vehicle Interactions > Attach/Detach Vehicle. Once detached you can then do CAPS > Vehicle Interactions > Impound Vehicle. Note: It's important to detach the vehicle from your truck before impounding it, otherwise an issue will occur where you cannot attach further vehicles to the flatbed and will need to restart and reconnect to FiveM.

When on duty as a mechanic, you will begin to receive dispatches sent through the Mechanic Helpline in the favourites section of the phone tab. Press I to set your GPS marker to the location of the most recent dispatch, or press O to scroll through the list of all recent dispatches.
