Get the Most Out of Your Crates

Everytime you open a crate and get disappointed because you got no tuning parts
or even two barn maps? Then keep reading this guide.

The Simple Steps to +Quality Tuning Parts

#1: Save your game by clicking the right mouse button > save game or Esc > save and go to main menu and load your save again.
#2: Open the crate and see what you got.
#3: If you doesn’t get any good parts then press the right mouse button > settings > load game (which loads the last savepoint of Step 1).
#4: After loading you repeat step 1 – step 3.
#5: When you got good parts then press the right mouse button > Settings > save game and open your next crate.

Personal Note

I suggest to open only 1 crate even if you have multiple ones in yourinventory. The reason for this is just that you’d waste crates and havea high risk to got flawless parts in crate #1 but in cage #2 you got 2 barnmaps and a normal part. And believe me, I obtained multiple times 2 flea maps outof crates.

Depending on your system electricity and the amount of mods that you’re using thisshouldn’t take more then 1 second.

Also look for pruning components with higher +quality because every +caliber stepgives the component 10% more power increase.

For example a +4 quality ion charger. A standard charger from the tuning shopwill have +10percent of electricity increase, the +4 Turbo charger comes with +14%.

Unlock at What Level

What game features unlock at what level? This guide puts all that information in one place.

• Level 1 – Your Basic Garage. 1-lifter, tire changer, wheel balancer and spring puller, radio and phone
• Level 1 – Parking. One level. You can buy more.
• Level 1 – Test Track. Use to determine broken steering, gearbox and suspension parts. (N.B. test path does not discover all bad steering-related parts.)
• Level 1 – Bonus Track – Abandoned Airport. For free roam fooling around. (Doughnuts, or even perhaps driving off the edge of the world if you like to do that)
• Level 1 – Race Track. For time trials around a loop track
• Level 1 – Car Salon, aka Car Dealer. For buying new and expensive cars.)
• Level 4+ – Garage Level II Upgrade. Adds test path and repair bench to your garage. The test path is in your shop, through the red metal doors by your repair bench. Here, you can find bad brake parts, bad bushings, shocks and other suspension issues. But not all.
• Level 6 – Barns. Go to purchase cars in mid to poor condition. Typically no more than 1 or 2 cars available. Also random used parts. Note, you might receive a map to a barn earlier than level 6, as a reward for a special customer job.
• Level 12+ – Garage Level III Upgrade. Adds 2nd lifter and parts warehouse. Also the engine lift and stand system, for you to lift an engine out and repair it on the engine stand.
• Level 12+ – Garage Cusomization. From now you can customize your garage.
• Level 13 – Junkyard. Go here to purchase mid to poor condition cars and random used parts. Like a very large barn with a larger selection than a barn, typically 6-8 vehicles.
• Level 19 – Auction. Go here to bid on an assortment of cars in good condition (but not perfect). Usually about 10-15 cars available at an auction.
• Level 30+ – Garage Level IV Upgrade. Adds paint shop, a third lifter, a welder (to repair car frame) and cleaning / detailing tools (to improve interior condition). Also a battery charger, to magically make old batteries new. Later on, Red Dot will add a Dyno. This is the level you have been waiting for: At last you can get cars looking nice, and to 100% condition in all 4 areas (parts, body, interior, frame). Imagine, a $100 cleanup job can increase the value of the car by $5000. I kid you not.
• Level 35+ – Able to repair car body parts –doors, bumpers, etc. This should allow you to fix any car to 100% without having to buy so many new parts.
• Level ?? – Photo Mode. (See Pie Menu) For taking advanced screenshots from better angles, more photographic features etc.

Repair Table

Note that these items are parts that I have attempted to repair at the “Repair Table” at Level 25, with a 95% repair success rate.

The lowest part state percentage was 15 percent. Anything under 15% was unrepairable. Although found isolated instances where some components even though fulfilled the minimum repair requirements, weren’t eligible for repair for some reason?
