TIPS AND TRICKS
TIPS AND TRICKS
Jobs won't finish if :
- You haven't done everything related to the job
- You have forgot to put parts back
- You damaged the vehicle in any way
You can buy spare parts at the junkyard for a dime. Very useful for expensive parts!
Easy Jobs
Every job in the game The easy jobs
- Car Wash :
With a fixed price reward of $80, this is the easiest job in the game. Always good when you need quick cash!
Just take your water hose and clean the customer's vehicle. It's as simple as that!
- Part painting :
With a fixed price of $121, it is one of the easiest jobs in the game. You need at least $20 to complete it since you will have to buy at least 1 spray paint can. The real reward is $101.
Copy the vehicle's colour code and head over to your part catalog. Then, go to the colour section and paste the colour code. You will then buy a spray paint can and head back to your car.
Spray the grey'ish part with your paint can until the paint quality raises to 5 stars.
- Part grinding and painting :
With a fixed price of $125, it is one of the easiest jobs in the game, as long as you don't end up with a LAD sedan or a LAD coupe.
Rust can be quite tricky to find on a vehicle, and ever worse to grind if it's situated on a LAD's rocker pannel. You may have to grind the weld with your flat disc and weld it back after grinding the rust!
In case you're lucky, your job is as simple as grinding rust and sending the car back!
Sometimes, the game will register your grinding as superficial and will not require any painting job after that.
Rewards between $105 and $125 (if you're lucky enough)
- Changing fuel tanks :
The reward is unfixed.
For LADs : open the trunk and unscrew the single bolt.
For NIVs : open your doors, remove the rear seats and remove the 2 bolts holding your fuel tank.
For CHADs and BARTS, lean under the back of the car and unscrew the 6 bolts.
A pretty quick job. You can even keep the old fuel tank's fuel for yourself by pouring it into a fuel can or another tank!
- Oil and filter change :
With a fixed reward of $101, plus the cost of engine oil and a filter, this is one of the least rewarding job in the game. But it's also simple as counting to 10!
Lean under your car, unplug your drain plug and let the oil flow out. After that, put the plug back in, replace the filter and just pour oil back into the engine!
- Engine parts changing :
Too many random rewards. Can include : Radiator, radiator hoses, fuel pump, spark plugs, distributor, carburettor, air filter, water pump, alternator, battery, battery wires, pistons and headgasket. The mission's name will tell you which part to replace.
Medium Jobs
The medium jobs, or unfixed rewards
- Handling work :
Steering parts and springs may be impacted.
For LADs and NIV models, remove the springs with your spring compressor.
For CHAD and BART models, use your spanner to remove the rear leaf springs and your pry tool to remove the front torsion bars.
May or may not need your lift!
- Suspension work :
Remove and replace worn suspension parts.
A lift is recommended
- Gearbox work :
One of the easiest jobs in the game and most rewarding if you have a pit or use your lift!
Simply remove the old gearbox and put in the new one!
On Inline 4s, the gearbox is attached with 8 bolts to the block, 2 bolts to the frame and 3 bolts to the driveshaft.
On V8s, the gearbox is attached with 4 bolts to the block, 2 bolts to the frame and 3 bolts to the driveshaft. The starter will also be attached to the gearbox. you will have to either remove the starter before removing the gearbox, or unscrew the wire bolt and remove the starter afterwards.
- Brake work :
Changing pads can be easy, so is changing discs. But it's not as rewarding as the other jobs.
To remove brake pads, remove the brake calliper and use your pry tool to extract the old pads.
To remove brake discs, remove the brake calliper and unscrew the single brake disc's screw with your screwdriver.
Hard Jobs
The hard jobs, or unfixed rewards
- Bodywork :
Grind all of the rust that you can find. You may need to grind the welds once more. You can also use spare parts and replace them as long as you paint them afterwards!
One of the most rewarding jobs in the game
- Custom job: Fixing junkers
There are 3 types of junkers in the game. Junkyard vehicles, used cars, and barn find shells. Fixing them will come at a high cost, but also at a high reward. Pretty late game stuff if you ask me!
I hope this guide helped you a bit at picking your jobs. Now make wonders!
