A mechanic drop-off zone for ESX. Authorized mechanics drive a vehicle to the drop-off, confirm with a clipboard animation, and the vehicle is forwarded to your garage / impound system via a single hook. Damage data (engine, body, fuel) is persisted back to owned_vehicles so the car shows up damaged when the owner retrieves it.

​
Features

  • Drop-off marker + blip — visible only to authorized jobs
  • Clipboard handover animation, configurable duration
  • Damage persistence — engine / body / fuel level written to owned_vehicles
  • Hook-based garage integration — ata-garage / qbx_vehiclegarages / custom via one function
  • AdvancedParking-friendly via BeforeEntityDelete
  • Zweitjob / duty support via Hooks.IsAuthorized
  • en/de localization
