Nice Repair Kit - Premium Vehicle Repair System with Realistic Animations
Bring professional-grade vehicle repair mechanics to your ESX server with the Nice Repair Kit - a fully animated repair system originally developed for Invicta Roleplay. This isn't just a basic instant-fix script; it features detailed repair animations, realistic timing, and smooth integration with ESX item systems. Perfect for mechanic jobs, civilian vehicle maintenance, or emergency roadside repairs.
What's Included
You're getting a complete vehicle repair resource with custom animations that show players actually working on vehicles. The system includes ESX item integration for repair kits, configurable repair speeds and effectiveness, damage detection systems, and visual feedback during repair processes. Everything is pre-configured but fully customizable to match your server's economy and gameplay balance.
Key Features
- Realistic Repair Animations - Players perform detailed repair actions with synchronized animations showing them working on the vehicle, not just standing still
- ESX Item Integration - Uses consumable repair kit items from your ESX inventory - repair kits are removed upon use
- Progressive Repair System - Repairs take time based on damage level, creating realistic gameplay and preventing instant fixes during chases
- Engine & Body Repair - Fixes both mechanical damage (engine) and physical damage (body panels) based on configuration
- Visual Feedback - Progress notifications and on-screen indicators show repair status and completion percentage
- Partial Repair Options - Configure whether kits provide full repair or partial restoration based on kit quality
- Anti-Abuse Protection - Cannot repair while driving, in combat, or during inappropriate situations
- Sound Effects - Authentic repair sounds enhance immersion during the repair process
Perfect For
- Mechanic Job Systems - Give mechanics professional-looking tools for roadside assistance and emergency repairs
- Civilian Vehicle Maintenance - Let players carry emergency repair kits for breakdowns and accidents
- Racing Servers - Provide pit crew-style repairs during street racing events and competitions
- Survival Gameplay - Add vehicle maintenance requirements to hardcore survival servers
- Tow Truck Operations - Enhance tow services with on-site repair capabilities before towing
- Military/EMS Roleplay - Field repair kits for emergency service vehicles and military operations
How It Works
Players add repair kits to their ESX inventory through shops, jobs, or crafting systems. When a vehicle is damaged, they approach it, use the repair kit item from inventory, and the animation sequence begins. The player character kneels and performs repair actions while a progress bar shows completion status. Once finished, the vehicle's health is restored according to your configured repair percentage, and the kit is consumed. The system prevents exploitation by blocking repairs during movement, combat, or other inappropriate contexts.
Installation

ensure nice_repairkit to your server.cfg

Technical Details
- Performance Impact: Minimal (~0.00ms idle, ~0.02ms during active repair)
- Animation System: Native GTA V repair animations with custom sequencing
- Dependencies: ESX framework required
- Database: SQL file included for item registration
- Repair Duration: Configurable (default: 8-15 seconds based on damage)
- Item Consumption: Single-use consumable items
Configuration Options
The config file offers extensive customization. Set repair kit effectiveness (25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% restoration), adjust repair duration based on vehicle class, define whether body damage or only engine damage gets repaired, configure item costs and shop availability, and set permissions for who can use repair kits. You can also enable or disable repairs on specific vehicle types (emergency vehicles, aircraft, boats) and customize notification messages.
What Makes It Stand Out
This isn't a basic teleport-and-fix script. The Nice Repair Kit was originally developed for Invicta Roleplay, a high-quality server known for immersive mechanics, meaning it's been battle-tested in a demanding roleplay environment. The animations alone set it apart - watching players actually kneel and work on vehicles creates believable repair scenarios instead of magical instant fixes. The progressive repair system prevents abuse during police chases while still being fast enough for legitimate emergency repairs. With 45+ servers already using it, this repair kit has proven reliable for both strict roleplay and casual gaming environments.
Gameplay Applications
- Mechanic Roadside Service: Mechanics can travel to broken-down vehicles and perform on-site repairs with professional animations
- Emergency Field Repairs: EMS and fire departments can maintain their vehicles during extended operations
- Civilian Self-Service: Players can handle minor repairs themselves without waiting for mechanic availability
- Criminal Operations: Criminals can repair damaged getaway vehicles during heists for quick escapes
- Racing Pit Stops: Street racers use kits between races to maintain vehicle condition
- Vehicle Degradation Systems: Combine with vehicle health decay scripts for maintenance-based gameplay
Economy Integration
The repair kit system integrates seamlessly with your server's economy. Set appropriate item costs at shops (typically $500-$2,000 depending on repair percentage), offer discounted kits as mechanic job perks, or provide premium versions with faster repair times at higher prices. You can create multiple kit tiers - basic (50% repair), advanced (75% repair), and professional (100% repair) - to encourage progression and create market variety.
Customization Examples
- Job-Restricted Kits: Limit advanced repair kits to mechanic and EMS jobs only
- Tiered Effectiveness: Offer multiple repair kit qualities at different price points
- Cooldown Systems: Add cooldowns between repairs to prevent spam
- Vehicle Class Restrictions: Prevent repairs on aircraft or boats if desired
- Custom Animations: Swap animation sequences to match your preferences
Support & Updates
Includes lifetime updates and ongoing support. The resource is maintained for compatibility with the latest ESX versions and FiveM builds. Originally developed for a professional roleplay server, quality and reliability are built into the foundation.
