[[Image:Garages-GTA2.jpg|thumb|380px|The 5-in-1 garage found in the [[Residential District|Residential]] and [[Industrial District]]s of [[Anywhere City]] in GTA 2. Gold Mines (second garage from the right) is not available in the [[Downtown District]].]] | |||
'''Garages in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]''' refer to a chain of garages that can be found in portions of every district in [[Anywhere City]]. The garages are a significant improvement from the basic [[Spray Shop|spray shop]] [[Grand Theft Auto 1|prior]], being intended to provide repairs to the player's car, clear [[Wanted Level in GTA 2|wanted levels]], or outfit the car with [[Weapons in GTA 2#Upgrades|weaponry]], all for a fee. | |||
Much like in games before and after GTA 2, the player is required to drive in and out of a garage to use a service; like GTA 1, however, the player can simply use the garages like a drive-thru business, entering from the front and exiting at the back. | |||
== Services == | |||
There are a total of five different services available at the garage, one of which is only available in the [[Residential District]] and the [[Industrial District]]. | |||

|align="center"|Smith and Heston's | |||
|align="center"|$25,000 | |||
|Outfits the player's car with [[vehicle machine gun]]s. | |||
The name of the garage is an obvious reference to [[wp:Smith & Wesson|Smith & Wesson]], a real-life gun maker, and also [[wp:Charlton Heston|Charlton Heston]], an actor who, at the time of GTA 2's release (1999), was the president of the [[wp:National Rifle Association|National Rifle Association]] (from 1998 to 2003). | |||
|- | |||
|align="center"|Gold Mines | |||
|align="center"|$50,000 | |||
|Outfits the player's car with 10 [[vehicle mine]]s that can be dropped behind the car. The service is only available in the [[Residential District|Residential]] and [[Industrial District]]s. | |||
|- | |||
|align="center"|Max Paynt | |||
|align="center"|$5,000 | |||
|Repairs the player's car while clearing the player's [[Wanted Level in GTA 2|wanted levels]], effectively the game's rendition of the [[Spray Shop|spray shop]]. | |||
Depending on the location of the garage, the player can emerge with different car colors; garages close to or within a certain gang's territory will naturally recolor the player's car in the gang's color; other garages use more conventional ranges of colors. If the player enters a garage with a corresponding car color (i.e. driving a green car into a Max Paynt close to [[Loonies]] turf), the car emerges with the same color, while the player is simply notified that the car's license plate has been changed. | |||
Like in all games, government/law enforcement vehicles (and gang cars) cannot be resprayed, although [[bus]]es are exempt from this rule. [[Taxi]]s are not resprayed, instead, they have the plates changed. | |||
Coincidentally, the "Max Paynt" name is similar to that of [[wp:Max Payne|Max Payne]], which, as of the release of GTA 2 (1999), was still under development by [[wp:Remedy Entertainment|Remedy Entertainment]]; Max Payne was not released until 2001. | |||

|align="center"|Hell Oil | |||
|align="center"|$10,000 | |||
|Outfits the player's car with 10 rounds of [[Vehicle Oil Slick|oil slicks]] that can be dumped behind the car. The name is an obvious parody of [[wikipedia:Shell Oil|Shell Oil]]. | |||

|Arms the player's car with [[Car Bomb|a time-delayed bomb]] which can be activated while pressing the "fire" command in the car. | |||
