Vehicles, Valet & Mechanic
See your cars, have one delivered by a valet, and get mechanic help from the phone.
What it is
- Vehicles lists every car you own and where it is.
- Valet has a driver bring one of your stored cars to you, for a fee.
- Mechanic shows how worn your cars are, your service history and invoices, and lets you send for roadside help.
How it works
Vehicles
Open Vehicles. Each car shows its plate and state: Garaged (in a garage), Out (in the city), Depot or Impounded (taken by police). See Garage System.
Valet
- Valet is not on a new phone: get it from the Store (see Settings & Store).
- Open Valet and pick a car that is in one of your garages.
- A driver sets off out of sight and drives the car to you. Follow the Valet blip on the map. The delivery takes 30 seconds to 2 minutes, longer for cars parked far away.
- When the car arrives you get the keys. The fee is $250 from your bank.
- Impounded cars and job cars cannot be delivered. If the driver is late, the car is left near you.
Mechanic
- Get Mechanic from the Store.
- See each car's parts (low parts are marked), its service history and your mechanic invoices.
- Find an open garage, call a mechanic, or send a roadside request with your car next to you (one every 2 minutes).
- Mechanics on duty see the requests, can accept them and get a GPS waypoint. They also use the app for their duty and invoices. See Mechanic System.

If it doesn't work: the car is impounded or a job car, there is less than $250 in the bank, or the app was not installed from the Store.
