The vast majority of spray shops between Grand Theft Auto III and GTA Vice City Stories take the form of [[Pay 'N' Spray]] garages with several noticeable changes in its fundamental mechanics. Other garages capable of repairing vehicles include [[Spray'n'go]] in GTA Vice City, and [[Mod Garages|mod garages]] ([[Transfender]], [[Loco Low Co.]] and [[Wheel Arch Angels]]) and [[Michelle's Auto Repair]] in GTA San Andreas. Both Spray'n'go and Michelle's Auto Repair function just like Pay 'N' Sprays, although the latter will be available for use for free later in the game (see below). | The vast majority of spray shops between Grand Theft Auto III and GTA Vice City Stories take the form of [[Pay 'N' Spray]] garages with several noticeable changes in its fundamental mechanics.

Respray shops are no longer designed as drive-thru facilities, appearing more like actual respray body shops or garages accessible from only one side. To use a spray shop, players must enter it and stop their vehicle inside, triggering the garage door of the spray shop to close, repair any damage the player's vehicle has sustained and recolor the vehicle, and clear any wanted level, before the garage door reopens allowing the player to drive out.

Spray shops further extend support for large commercial vehicles, but do not accept a vast majority of emergency vehicles still, saved a few special cases (i.e. the [[FBI Car]] in GTA III, and the [[VCPD Cheetah|police variant Cheetah]] and [[FBI Washington]] in GTA Vice City). In addition, [[bicycles]], which are invulnerable to damage, are also unacceptable, as the player will be treated with an on-screen message "I don't do toys!" | |||
Like its predecessors, the player's wanted level, if there is any, is immediately eliminated after using a spray shop in GTA III. From GTA Vice City onwards (except GTA Advance, which follows GTA III's system), visiting a spray shop after incurring a wanted level results in a probationary time period (where wanted stars on the HUD flash) that lasts 20 seconds before the player is completely cleared of police attention; if any crimes are committed in view of a police officer, the full wanted level will be immediately reinstated. | Like its predecessors, the player's wanted level, if there is any, is immediately eliminated after using a spray shop in GTA III.
