FiveM Job Garages & Vehicle Management

Why Job Garages Matter

Every roleplay job needs vehicles. Police officers need patrol cars. Paramedics need ambulances. Mechanics need tow trucks. Taxi drivers need, well, taxis. Without a proper garage system, your employees either use personal vehicles (breaking immersion) or you rely on clunky NPC vehicle spawn points that feel outdated.

Jobs Creator includes a job garage system that lets you assign specific vehicles to each job, restrict them by grade, and place garage markers wherever you want on the map — all from the in-game tablet.

How Job Garages Work

A job garage is a special marker that, when accessed by an on-duty employee, presents a list of vehicles they can spawn. The available vehicles depend on:

• The job they belong to — Only vehicles assigned to that specific job appear
• Their grade within the job — Higher grades can access more or better vehicles
• The specific garage — Different garage locations can offer different vehicle lists

When a player spawns a vehicle from a job garage, it appears at the designated spawn point near the garage marker. When they're done, they can return the vehicle at the same location.

Setting Up a Job Garage

Step 1: Add the Garage Marker

1. Open the Jobs Creator tablet
2. Select the job you want to add a garage to
3. Navigate to the Markers tab
4. Add a new marker of type Garage
5. Set the location — walk to where you want the garage entrance and save the position

Step 2: Configure the Spawn Point

The spawn point is where vehicles actually appear when a player takes one out. It should be:

• On flat ground
• On or near a road
• Away from other objects or markers that might cause collision
• Close to the garage marker but not on top of it

Step 3: Add Vehicles

Configure which vehicles are available at this garage:

• Vehicle model — The GTA V model name (e.g., "police", "police2", "ambulance", "towtruck")
• Vehicle label — The display name the employee sees (e.g., "LSPD Crown Victoria", "Ambulance Type III")
• Grade requirement — The minimum grade needed to access this vehicle
• Vehicle customization — Optional liveries, colors, or modifications

Vehicle Configuration by Job Type

Police Department

A police garage typically offers a range of patrol vehicles based on rank:

• Cadets: Basic marked patrol car (e.g., "police")
• Officers: Standard cruiser with better performance (e.g., "police2")
• Sergeants: Unmarked sedan for detective work (e.g., "police3")
• Lieutenants: SUV for supervisory patrols (e.g., "policet" — the police transporter)
• Chief: High-performance pursuit vehicle or command SUV

Emergency Medical Services

• EMT: Standard ambulance (e.g., "ambulance")
• Paramedic: Fast response SUV
• Head Medic: Helicopter for critical calls (e.g., "polmav" — repurposed as a medical helicopter)

Mechanic / Tow Company

• Trainee: Basic sedan for mobile calls
• Mechanic: Flatbed truck (e.g., "flatbed")
• Senior Mechanic: Tow truck (e.g., "towtruck")
• Owner: Any vehicle for transportation

Taxi / Transportation

• Driver: Standard taxi (e.g., "taxi")
• Senior Driver: Luxury sedan for premium fares
• Manager: SUV for VIP transport

Multiple Garages Per Job

You're not limited to one garage per job. A police department, for example, might have:

• LSPD Central Garage — At Mission Row Police Station with city patrol vehicles
• BCSO Garage — At the Sandy Shores Sheriff Station with off-road vehicles
• Highway Patrol Garage — On the highway with high-speed pursuit vehicles

Each garage can have a different vehicle list, allowing you to spread theme-appropriate vehicles across the map.

Grade-Based Vehicle Access

One of the most powerful features of job garages is grade-based restrictions. This creates natural progression:

• New employees start with basic vehicles
• As they get promoted, better vehicles become available
• Top-rank employees have access to everything

This gives players a tangible reward for earning promotions and adds depth to the job progression system.

Example: Police Vehicle Progression

Grade	Rank	Vehicles Available
0	Cadet	Marked Patrol Car
1	Officer	Patrol Car, Charger
2	Sergeant	All above + Unmarked Sedan
3	Lieutenant	All above + SUV, Helicopter
4	Chief	All vehicles

Integration with Garage Systems

Jobs Creator auto-integrates with popular community garage scripts. This means if your server already uses a third-party garage system, Jobs Creator can work alongside it without conflicts.

The integration can be managed from the tablet's settings panel. If you switch garage scripts, simply update the integration setting — no need to reconfigure all your job garages.

Best Practices for Job Garages

Placement

• Place garages at realistic locations — police cars should come from police stations, ambulances from hospitals, tow trucks from a towing company lot
• Make sure there's enough room to spawn vehicles — avoid tight alleys or indoor locations
• Place the return point near the spawn point so returning vehicles is convenient

Vehicle Lists

• Don't overcrowd the list — 3-6 vehicles per grade tier is plenty. Too many options slow down selection
• Match vehicles to the job theme — A taxi company shouldn't have sports cars (unless you want a premium tier)
• Test every vehicle — Some addon or modded vehicles may have issues. Spawn each one to verify it works properly

Performance

• Job vehicles are spawned on demand — they don't exist in the world until a player takes one out
• When returned, the vehicle is despawned, keeping your server's entity count low
• This is much more efficient than having pre-placed vehicles sitting around all job locations

Troubleshooting

"Vehicle doesn't spawn"

• Verify the vehicle model name is correct (case-sensitive)
• Make sure the spawn point has enough clearance
• Check that the vehicle model exists in your server's streaming resources

"Player can't see certain vehicles"

• Confirm their grade meets the minimum requirement for those vehicles
• Make sure they're on-duty for the correct job

"Vehicle spawns inside a building"

• Move the spawn point coordinates to open ground
• Adjust the heading (rotation) so the vehicle faces the road
