Once loaded, return to the Insurance Impound on Adam Apples Boulevard and park the truck within the grounds of the civilian impound area (try not to block others) and leave space behind your truck. Now, following the same method you loaded the vehicle, use eye interaction on the loaded car again to unload it from the truck.

When on duty as a mechanic, you will begin to receive dispatches sent through the Mechanic Helpline. Press {{Key|O}} to open the dispatch menu (while stationary, for your own safety as you won't have control of your car while it's open) and click the dispatch you wish to attend. You can right click it to set the GPS or call the person who requested the dispatch. Doing {{Key|CAPS}} > Interactions > Mechanic Job List will also reveal the jobs available to you and you can click these to accept them (for garage requests and police/faction impounds). | When on duty as a mechanic, you will begin to receive dispatches sent through the Mechanic Helpline.

Custom Player requests are dispatches made through the mobile phone. You will see the message they sent you and that players mobile phone number. Following the above instructions you can arrive at the location set by the GPS once you have clicked on the dispatch. The request here could be anything from someone needing a repair, refuel, their vehicle being transported to anything else they might want - hopefully their message was clear! When you arrive you'll need to figure out the issue and go from there. There is no requirement to recover cars back to the insurance impound and you do not get routinely paid for attending these dispatches (nor is there an increase in your mechanic skill). However you can negotiate payment within roleplay with the other player. Bare in mind the mechanic role can be a competitive business, so don't expect to be the only mechanic heading to the dispatch! | Custom Player requests are dispatches made through the mobile phone.
