FiveM Mechanic Scripts: Compare Jobs, Tuning and Repairs

The right FiveM mechanic script fits both your vehicle systems and the work you want mechanics to do. Start by deciding whether you need cosmetic tuning, a player-run business, or recurring maintenance. A large feature list is less useful if upgrades disappear after parking or customers cannot get repairs when mechanics are offline.

JG Mechanic and T1GER Mechanic provide two documented starting points. The comparisons below describe creator documentation; the fit recommendations are editorial judgments, not results from testing either resource on a live server.

Decide what your mechanic job should own

Server need	What to compare	Question to resolve
Public tuning shops	Modification menus, previews, pricing and saved vehicle properties	Can players use the shop without an employee, and do changes survive the garage cycle?
Player-run businesses	Jobs, grades, parts, work orders and business accounts	Which resource manages staff and receives the payment?
Recurring maintenance	Wear intervals, diagnostics, replacement parts and recovery options	How much driving should a service interval represent in your city?
Racing or custom handling	Handling changes and integration with existing tuning	Can you assign each handling value to one system?

Two mechanic systems to investigate

JG Mechanic: compare its job and banking models

JG's job setup documentation describes a choice between its own employee and business-balance system and framework jobs from Qbox, QBCore or ESX. With framework jobs enabled, the framework-compatible boss menu manages employees and the selected banking integration manages the society account. The mechanic resource does not create those external accounts for you.

This is worth investigating if your key decision is how mechanic businesses fit an existing employment and banking setup. Write down whether a player may work at several garages and whether access follows their active job. Those decisions affect how you configure the business.

The servicing guide describes mileage-based part wear, tablet inspections and replacement items. It also warns that another resource changing the same handling values can override its changes. The installation guide covers inventory setup and companion resources; match that guide to the release you are considering.

T1GER Mechanic: compare its component maintenance workflow

The current T1GER Mechanic documentation describes in-game shop management and separates service parts from core parts. Service parts follow mileage intervals; neglected servicing can damage associated core parts, while collisions can also damage core parts. That model is worth comparing if diagnosis and parts replacement should be a regular roleplay activity.

Its installation page lists ESX, QBCore or Qbox, plus oxmysql, ox_lib, a supported target system and a supported inventory. It also identifies separate mechanic, lift and prop resources and includes database and item setup.

Check the exact resource identity. T1GER has separate documentation paths for t1ger_mechanic and t1ger_mechanicsystem. Do not apply one installation guide to a different package because their storefront names sound similar.

Compare integration cost before purchase

List the resources currently responsible for vehicle properties, garages, keys, fuel, mileage, damage, handling and invoices. For each function, decide which system will remain responsible after the change. Two resources can coexist when their responsibilities and interfaces are deliberately configured; overlapping defaults need investigation.

Ask the seller for the exact release, its matching documentation, required companion assets and supported integration versions. Also ask which bridge files and UI files you can edit, how updates preserve your changes, and whether migration tools cover your existing vehicle data. Current creator documentation does not establish the contents or update access of a different seller's package.

Include GTA V Legacy or Enhanced in that request, covering the mechanic release, companion assets and vehicles you intend to use. Check the Cfx.re migration requirements before treating framework support as evidence that the complete vehicle setup is ready for Enhanced.

Include configuration time in the budget. Parts prices, service intervals, wages and repair access need to work together. If an ordinary evening of driving creates several repair visits, decide whether that is desirable before exposing players to it. Keep an intentional recovery route for a broken vehicle when no mechanic is available.

Staging checks before opening the shops

1. Back up the resource files and database, and verify you can restore the copy. Review SQL changes before executing them.
2. Install the selected release and its documented dependencies on staging. Preserve the old configuration for rollback.
3. Test an ordinary employee, owner and customer. Check hiring, grade restrictions, charges, refunds where supported, and the receiving business balance.
4. Modify a vehicle, park it, retrieve it, reconnect and restart the server. Compare its appearance, upgrades and service state after each step.
5. Repeat with representative add-on cars and any motorcycles or other vehicle types your chosen release supports.
6. Test a cancelled order, missing part, insufficient funds and a customer disconnect during work. Check that items and money reconcile.
7. Run the intended handling, garage and damage resources together. Resolve reproducible conflicts before replacing the live setup.

Choose after those checks demonstrate the workflow you need. If your existing job already handles repairs and payments well, first evaluate whether a focused tuning addition solves the remaining problem with fewer integrations to change.
