Title of Suggestion: Mechanic

Description
When there's a mechanic the repair boxes don't work. or maybe just fixes it to 50%.

Why?
Mechanics are losing out on alot of RP scenarios since you can just fully repair your car at a repair box, makes the mechanic job only useful for car modifications. Tried being mechanic for 2 hours got like 3 customers who actually needed something.  
A system should be in place for repair boxes just like the food dispenser that it doesn't work when there's a chef.

The tradeoff from repair boxes is that it takes a LOT longer than it would to find a mechanic and let him do it and is a lot more expensive.

That is a terrible trade off to be honest.

You can repair the engine for 200$ in the box and the mechanic has to spend 500$  on a new engine AND place it inside the car which has a chance (for some reason) to just despawn the car. (It'll not be repaired and the engine will be gone and you have to do it all again)

This was thought about when we made the update, the reason we left the box in as a longer and more expensive solution is because we don't want to annoy players by forcing them to find a mechanic who may be busy or even just not doing their job which is common.

Players right now have the choice between a longer and more expensive repair or finding a mechanic to get it done way quicker and cheaper.

We'll fix the prices the box is meant to be much more expensive. Obviously we'll change the box mechanics if this suggestion gains a lot of traction, I was just giving a reason as to why the system is how it is right now.
