How to Add a Mechanic Job to Your QBCore FiveM Server

August 2026 · 5 min read · Stellar AI

A mechanic job adds a whole new dimension to your FiveM roleplay server. Players can repair vehicles, perform upgrades, tow cars and run their own garage business. This guide walks you through setting one up on QBCore.

What a mechanic job includes

A complete mechanic job typically has vehicle repair with a progress bar, upgrades menu for performance and cosmetics, an impound system for police vehicles, and job management so players can clock in and out. The best ones also include a working garage stash.

Step 1 — Generate your mechanic script

Try this prompt in Stellar AI:

"QBCore mechanic job with F6 menu, vehicle repair using repair kits, upgrade menu for engine and turbo, impound system for storing vehicles, job stash and duty toggle. Include fxmanifest, client.lua, server.lua and config.lua"

Step 2 — Add to your server

resources/
└── qb-mechanicjob/
    ├── fxmanifest.lua
    ├── client.lua
    ├── server.lua
    └── config.lua

Step 3 — Add items to QBCore shared

Mechanic jobs use repair kit items. Add these to qb-core/shared/items.lua

['repairkit'] = {name='repairkit', label='Repair Kit', weight=500, type='item', 
  image='repairkit.png', unique=false, useable=true, shouldClose=true, 
  description='Used to repair vehicles'},

Step 4 — Add job to QBCore shared jobs

Add the mechanic job to qb-core/shared/jobs.lua

['mechanic'] = {
    label = 'Mechanic',
    defaultDuty = false,
    offDutyPay = false,
    grades = {
        ['0'] = { name = 'Trainee', payment = 50 },
        ['1'] = { name = 'Mechanic', payment = 100 },
        ['2'] = { name = 'Senior Mechanic', payment = 150 },
        ['3'] = { name = 'Manager', payment = 200 },
    },
},

Step 5 — Add to server.cfg and test

ensure qb-core
ensure qb-mechanicjob

Set yourself as a mechanic with /setjob mechanic 2 and press F6 to open the menu.
