Mech Shop Specialties

With years of experience owning a mech shop in CL.. I hope this gets some serious consideration.

Just like the title says, I think each shop should be able to offer a legal specialty performance Item making each shop unique. Keep in mind this is an IDEA so maybe some other Tunable could be added.

1 vehicle should never be allowed to have ALL the mods from every shop.. maybe we could limit it to 2(debatable). Example - if you have a dyno tune and racing seats, you cannot use Tuning chip or Nos.. etc.

For Instance:

TUNERS - Tuning Chip (with Duration so the item isn’t permanent); Just like in Purple, this device would allow the driver to temporarily change different performance aspects of the car, in this case.. to keep things fair, only 1 to 2 items should be adjustable. Once the car is destroyed or parked, this performance tune would be set to default. The chip would only be good to use 3-4 times before another is required.

Benny’s - Adv Racing Seats (permanent until owner removes at Bennys) These seats are the absolute BEST in the city and guarantees the driver and passengers will not ever be ejected from the vehicle.

LSIA - Fuel Systems & Engine Sound Swaps : The customer could choose how his vehicle sounds and this would remain permanent unless the owner decides to change it back or to a different sound. Some sounds give the vehicle BETTER fuel economy, some make it worse.

Harmony - NOS Bottle Supplier (with Duration so the item isn’t permanent) : We all know what NOS does. Bottles can be bought new full (higher price) or refilled (medium price) .. its an expensive gas

LSC - Transmission & Drift Conversion: A change that would convert a car to DRIFT spec and give proper tune so the vehicle performs properly. This can also be removed at this shop ONLY as well.

ALL SHOPS

Dyno: Real-Time performance monitor and tuning which will give ability to look at the performance spec of the car.. as well as change 1 performance item slightly(fuel/air ratio, RPM limits, etc.) If a car already has a Dyno Tune.. any other Dyno change made previously would be set to default.

Racing Fuel: Gallons of fuel can be bought at mech shops that helps boost MPH on ANY vehicle that uses it slightly.

IF we want to float other (non performance ideas) for each shop unique traits.. here are some more to help shops make money in different ways. Maybe each shop could a combo of 2 each but never ALL that way each shop remains unique.

TUNERS - engine_oil → Oil changes

BENNYS - spark_plug → Engine performance / repairs

LSIA - air_filter → Engine efficiency

LSC brakepad_replacement → Brake servicing

HARMONY - tyre_replacement → Tire repair

etc..
