Auto Cowboys is one of the four Spray Shop companies in the GTA IV Era, the other ones being Native American Engines Axel's Pay 'N' Spray and Auto Limbo. The spray shop is primarily based in the Liberty City borough of Algonquin. Auto Limbo replaces the Pay 'n' Spray Spray Shops from the GTA III Era, although they are still referred to ingame as the "Pay 'n' Spray".
Use In-Game
Auto Cowboys, like all other Spray Shop in the GTA IV Era, have received further modification for improved realism.
Pay 'n' Spray as a extensive chain no longer exists, having been replaced by those with varying business names, like Native American Engines, although the "Pay 'n' Spray" name persists as part of a new name for two spray shops and a by-line for another. Despite these changes, both games still refer to any of their spray shops as "Pay 'n' Spray" in tooltips and briefs.
For both games, the player can only enter a spray shop when they are out of sight of the police. In addition, each visit to a spray shop advances time by three hours (as opposed to near instant respray and subsequent repair of a vehicle in their predecessors). Each spray shop visit in GTA IV costs $100 while GTA Chinatown Wars' spray shops charge $200; otherwise, visitations are free if the player's vehicle is undamaged.
In GTA IV multiplayer modes, spray shops can be used for free all the time and does not subtract money from the player's online character. Another minor quirk in GTA IV is that a resprayed color is determined by the player's "favorite car color" as shown in the game stats.
Locations
Auto Cowboys has only one spray shop in Liberty City. It is located on Frankfort Ave, Northwood, Algonquin.
