Yeah. . . .

And the dealerships and repair stations can fix anything in seconds. If only it was that way irl lol.

Lock up the engine; destroy the transmission; burn up the tires, and drive off a cliff. Call a towman: get towed to a service center in a couple of hours (no matter what the state of the truck and trailer is). Technician comes out and snaps his fingers: good as new.
God that is a funny sentence you wrote there, I had a very good laugh!!!!!

All I did in C2C was add the service icon to the garage (in the map editor).

Mantrid, that worked for one garage that I found, but I don't see it anymore. Can you add the Repair/Service icon to all garages in C2C with the next update? Or maybe do a mod for all garages in ATS?

I really like the idea to a point.

If it comes to ordinary maintanance, that should be doable in any garage.

We would need an inventory to store owned parts, those could be swapped in the garage where they are stored.

The repair shops should be more like a chrome shop where you can buy parts and have certain parts installed.

Some huge repairs / upgrades like changing a frame or getting a different cab should only be doable at the dealerships.

Yeah, they could add a lot of complexity to the repair system: tire shops, body shops, engine shops, trailer shops, dealerships, etc.

All of that can be done in our "owned" garages. It's the same as the "outside" shops doing it now. The outside shops are fine for all of this if you are not near any "owned" garage. It's the same as getting fuel at your garage. Drivers don't pay for it, the company does. If you are not a real-life truck driver you wouldn't understand.

Body work? I doubt there are many self-owned shops that are set up to do much in-house body repairs. Same is true for major engine and transmission work.

Generally I agree, but there should be some kind of system by which we could level up our garages, increase their skills by hiring more skilled mechanics or buying more equipment.

A two truck company wouldn't have the same in house repair capabilities as a mega carrier, with rare exceptions.

I've seen a few that do their own body work in-house. Anchor Mtr Frt was one as was a couple other companies I knew.

Yeah, fair enough. For the record, I totally support this idea. It's been needed for a long time.

I'm just critiquing lol, but I'm sure there are plenty of fully equipped shops out there, and the game should reflect that reality.
