Vehicle Saving

There are no means of saving or storing any vehicles; rather the game includes a Vehicle Delivery service that offers up to 19 predetermined vehicles that must be unlocked through game progression or with DLC and Game Ownership Bonuses. The game does save the current vehicle the player is driving, even those not from the delivery menu, but errors may occur causing the incorrect vehicle to spawn after certain missions or reloading.

Vehicle Cleaning and Repair

Vehicles can take damage and get dirty, but no mechanic exists in the game for the player to either clean or repair the vehicles themselves. Instead, they are cleaned and repaired automatically in a variety of ways by the game.

Cleaning & Repair

Big Rick's: Players can take their vehicle to any Big Rick's Custom Auto and upon entering the garage the vehicle will be automatically cleaned and repaired. This option only applies to vehicles obtained through the Vehicle Delivery menu.

Game loading: Whenever the player loads or reloads their game, their current vehicle will be spawned fully cleaned and repaired.

Repair Only

Safehouses and Rackets: When the player enters any safehouse or racket location, the game will automatically park their current vehicle in a designated parking spot, fully repairing it in the process.

Races: When starting any New Bordeaux Racing event your current vehicle will be fully repaired.

Vehicle Modification

Big Rick's Custom Auto

Players may take vehicles obtained through the Vehicle Delivery menu to Big Rick's Custom Auto and apply numerous upgrades like supercharges, spoilers, paint, decals, Rims and Tires, custom license plates, and many others. Many of these items must first be unlocked through completing New Bordeaux Racing events by coming in first place and beating the current track record. Some added decals also require unlocking by completing various DLC missions.

With the exception of gear ratios, customization applied through Big Rick's are purely cosmetic and offer no changes in performance or handling. Performance upgrades must be unlocked through Lincoln's Underbosses as described below.

Underboss Favors

The following vehicle modifications are available as favors through your underbosses during the second and fourth district takeovers. Those not received for free as favors can later be purchased through the Arms Dealer after the district sitdown. These modifications are only applied to the vehicles in the Vehicle Delivery menu.
