Already the other jobs have have ranks - police/firefighter/medic (Rank 10)
I see it as perfect oppurunity to add rank system to mechanic, same as others have. Mechanic rank colouring should be from light gray to dark grey.
Currently you are able to buy vehicle upgrades via gas stations.
Example:
Rank 4 your skill increases and you can provide services faster
Rank 5 mechanics can add bullet-resistant tires to your vehicle, adding the same animation what goes for repairing.
Rank 7 your skill increases once again - mechanic service providing becomes professional.
Rank 8 mechanics can add super bullet-resitant tires to your vehicle.
Rank 9 can fully repair your vehicle for higher amount of cash. In a single animation - should take like 10 seconds, because currently the gas station takes up to 5 seconds. ($5000-$8000)
Rank 10 can add armour to your car. Currently the price for that is $5,500 in gas-stations, make it like $10,000.
Prices can be adjusted and mechanics should only get 10%-20% of the total service.
