* 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.

* At the [[Las Venturas]] TransFender, all modifications except Color cost 20% more than at other TransFenders in San Andreas, much like all other stores in the city, such as the [[Ammu-Nation]] and fast-food restaurants get the same overpricing.

* There is a bug with the TransFender in Las Venturas in the PS2 version. Driving a [[Moonbeam]] into the TransFender will allow you to modify the vehicle as normal, but once you exit the TransFender modification screen and attempt to leave, the vehicle will spawn on top of the garage but underneath the actual roof, making it impossible to drive the vehicle out and also trapping the player inside the TransFender. 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.

* The TransFender name is a play on the word ''transgender'', as further evidenced by the slogan "body swap shop" (a transgendered person might be seen as "swapping" his or her body for that of another gender, hence the moniker).

*A rare glitch allows you to control your car inside Mod garages 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 in GTA IV 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.
