Repair requests

This page is dedicated to listing the types of repair orders that can be received from the phone and some easy ways to diagnose their issues.

The phone can be found in Player's garage and Player's house (only in Hard Mode) and is used to receive randomized repair orders. This a method for the player to earn money though some orders are more rewarding than others. Upon receiving an order, which always happens instantly when clicking on the phone, the player will receive a randomized task for a randomized vehicle (exact vehicle is not stated). The order will provide a title stating the problem which is often generic. No detailed description is provided and in some cases, you will have to look for the problem yourself. The reward will vary depending on the parts that need to be changed and how much. The customer vehicle will spawn in front of the customer sign.

The estimated reward is not provided to the player prior to accepting an order (except for paint orders). When accepting an order, the player will receive an estimated reward for completing the task. The reward may decrease slightly if you miss screwing bolts. The player also has the option to abandon any order at any time and it will not affect the balance whatsoever, unless parts are already purchased.

*Not all tasks + full description are stated yet but will be updated and reviewed soon.*

### "Alternator belt looks old"

This is one of the easier jobs to receive as it does not require any tools to complete. The alternator belt can be removed by hovering the cursor over the belt and hold the left-click button. Since it is easy to complete, it is also not very rewarding due to the simplicity and will often reward a two-digit sum.

### "Can you change all worn suspension parts"

This can be various parts related to suspension and can be somewhat complicated, however, most of these jobs pay well (around $2000 or more) if you manage to complete them. For this task it is adviced that the car lift is utilised since many suspension-related parts need to be inspected and replaced, some more difficult to reach. The parts that need to be changed can be located both in the front and the rear.

### "Can you change fuel tank"

The fuel tank is placed differently depending on the vehicle to be repaired, but all cars have their tank in the rear and is attached with 1-6 bolts. In most vehicles, the tank can be accessed via the trunk such as the LAD while the Chad's tank is accessible underneath the car. Note that when replacing the tank, all gas will be emptied.

### "Can you change spark plugs"

This order tells you exactly what to replace. To reach the spark plugs, the ignition wires need to be removed. After removing it, you need to use the spark plug socket, found among the tools in the garage, to torque down and remove the spark plugs. Note that the spark plug socket should be used again when attaching new spark plugs.

### "Can you check shock absorbers"

This task is quite staightforward and provide you all information that you need. The shock absorbers are found behind the wheels and they will most likely appear rusty as well.

### "Can you fix rust and repaint"

To fix the rust, you will need to use the angle grinder to sand down the rust. Once the rust is gone, you need to paint the sanded parts with the vehicle's color whose color code can be found in the vehicle description. Memorise the code and buy a spray can from the parts catalogue with the exact code.

### "Can you put a new air filter on"

The air filter is usually located on top of or next to the engine and accessed by removing the lid. Removing the lid enables you to access the filter and remove it.

### "Car is loud"

The title gives the player a clue where the issue may be located. The issue is most likely related to the exhaust or the exhaust manifold or perhaps both. There will be visible rust on these parts that needs to be changed. You most likely need to use the jack to reach the bolts on the exhaust to replace with a new one.

### "Clunking noise coming when driving"

This is located underneath the car and is most likely the driveshaft which will appear rusty.

### "Engine chain seems to be a problem"

The chain can be located behind the timing chain cover which will require you to remove certain parts before you can remove the chain. Then, to replace the chain, you follow the same procedures as if alternator belt is changed; hold left-click to remove.

### "Fuel line looks worn"

The fuel line is a hose found inside the engine bay that stretches all the way to the fuel tank. It is attached to the fuel pump with a single, tiny bolt which may be tricky to spot.

### "Hoses near radiator look bad"

Either the upper or the lower hose, or both, may appear rusty and that should be changed. Each hose is attached with a single bolt connecting to the radiator.

### "I need to change the head gasket"

The head gasket is located right on top of the engine block which requires you to remove all parts above the pistons in order to reach.

### "It is overheating"

When the car is overheating, you may want to look the condition of the water pump as it is likely to have visible rust.

### "My Battery Wires Need to be Replaced"

Self explanatory, however sometimes finding all the wire connection points can be tricky. Start by removing the connections to the battery and the small crimp near the battery holding the black wire to the inside of the fender. After this there will be 3 more connections. 2 red connections on the back of the alternator and on the starter, and a black connection screwed into the back of the engine block. you can follow the wires to find these easier.

### "My Car Isnt Charging"

This can be multiple things in conjunction, so check ALL of these: Battery, alternator, and alternator belt.

### "My Car isnt Starting"

This can be many things. First check to see if the car tries to crank. If it does check the carb, fuel pump, and ignition coil. If it does not crank but the dash lights up it is most likely a starter issue. If there are no lights on the dash its a battery issue. If none of these are the issue, it will most likely become an engine teardown.

### "My Car isnt Shifting Correctly"

These are some of the best orders for making money. 9 times out of 10 this is a faulty transmission and it will need to be replaced. Simply check the underside of the car and if the transmission is rusted then remove it and replace it. Gearboxes in this game usually cost less than $500, and the order reward will usually be over $1500. So, when you see one of these orders, its usually a quick and easy $1000!

### "My car seems to sit uneven"

When your car sits uneven, you might want to check the condition of your springs as they're likely to appear curly or broken. This is fixed by equipping the spring compressor and removing the springs located behind the wheels. You will also need to use the spring compressor to attach new springs onto the car.

### "Radiator looks bad"

The radiator is normally attached with two bolts and is mounted in the very front of the engine bay. When replacing the radiator, the coolant will be empty.

### "Someone told that pistons are bad"

Check the pistons! This might be one of the more complicated jobs to complete.

### "Something is wrong with handling"

This can be different parts underneath the car. Most likely, you will spot some rust indicating what parts that needs to be changed. Inspect shock absorbers and parts nearby. If it's a chad, you may also check the torsion bars.

### "Something is wrong with the steering"

In these orders, the issue is likely located underneath the car. Most likely, the tie rods are worn or parts surrounding the tie rods. It may be difficult to spot the difference between a worn and a new tie rod as they both appear white. The worn tie rod will however have a slightly darker shade.

In some instances upon accepting orders, the customer may not show up, which instantly gives the player a pop-up text claiming "Client didn't come". You will then need to find a new job by pressing "skip" button. Based on a sample of 100 orders, there is about 5% probability of this text message occurring.
