However, the cost of each individual color change is consistently $150, 1.5× 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. | ||
* There is a bug with the TransFender in Las Venturas in the PlayStation 2 version, where 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 subsequent versions of the game. | * There is a bug with the TransFender in Las Venturas in the PlayStation 2 version, where 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.

* Although user-defined vehicle customizations are not possible in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the TransFender name is featured again as minor detailing on the the [[Spray Shops in GTA IV|Auto Limbo Pay 'n' Spray]]. 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 year of release for GTA San Andreas. | * Although user-defined vehicle customizations are not possible in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the TransFender name is featured again as minor detailing on the the [[Spray Shops in GTA IV|Auto Limbo Pay 'n' Spray]].
