* Changing color actually works the same as a Pay 'n' Spray visit (repair car and remove [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]]). However, the cost of each individual color change is consistently $150, 50% higher than a Pay 'n' Spray service, regardless of whether or not the car is damaged to begin with or the player has a wanted level. | * Changing color actually works the same as a Pay 'n' Spray visit (repair car and remove [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted level]]).

The only way to escape is for the player to kill themselves by damaging the Moonbeam enough to blow it up and kill the player, or re-loading the game's save file, or the game itself. The bug is not present in PC version. | ||
* A rare glitch allows you to control your car inside mod garages in GTA San Andreas, including TransFender, which makes certain choices like choosing a color on the palette a little touchy. | |||

Oddly, the TransFender logo that appears on Auto Limbo claims the company was established in [[2004]], twelve years after the events of GTA San Andreas took place. However, this could be a reference to 2004 being the release date of GTA San Andreas. | ||
