A Pay 'n' Spray is a garage in which cars can be mended, repainted, and have the engine replaced. It serves two main functions - to repair a vehicle, and to allow a vehicle to escape the police. They have appeared in all the games in the GTA III Era.

If a player drives a car into a Pay 'n' Spray garage, it will repair and disguise the vehicle at a fee, allowing the removal of a Wanted Level in most occasions. However, no Pay 'n' Spray garages will accept emergency or public vehicles, displaying the message "WHOA! I don't touch anything THAT hot!" if the player attempts to use the facility.

There is a known bug with GTA Vice City that will spawn wheels on a Skimmer seaplane if it is flown into a Pay 'n' Spray garage.

Car Repair

Pay'n'Spray allows the player to repair his vehicle. The repair includes everything which is broken: Paint, wheels, hood, windows, spoilers, modification parts, head- and rear lights, engine, and everything else that gets broken. All this is helpful when you want to take a picture of your car.

Wanted Level Reduction

Pay'n'Spray was created to allow the player to get rid of his wanted level. The police can diddle you for almost everything: Ramming a squad car, beating a pedestrian, entering a prohibited area, doing illegal road races, shooting around etc. When you have e.g. five stars you may wish to let the stars disappear in order to go on as a humble citizen. If you visit Pay'n'Spray then, the stars are almost gone. They still flash. During that time period (while flashing) you shouldn't do something illegal otherwise you get busted, and the police keeps on chasing you.

Costs

Repairing painting at Pay'n'Spray ISN'T free! You have to raise different sums of money to get such a service.

Vice City Stories: 100 Dollar, if you have completed the Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound, the Pay'n'Spray becomes free.

Colors

The paintshop has a wide range of colors but you can't choose the color that comes onto the car.

Emergency Vehicles

There's one bad thing about the paintshop: They don't spray emergency vehicles, including among others ambulances, squad cars, fire trucks, tanks, FBI- and SWAT-vans. You can drive in but the screen says things like it would be too delicate.

Body-Swap-Shops

The paintworks you bought at the body-swap-shops are disappearing when visiting Pay'n'Spray.

Hours of Business

Pay'n'Spray has open 24/7. You don't have to complete missions to unlock the shop.

Branches

Vice City: Ocean Beach, Vice Point, Viceport, Little Haiti

San Andreas

Los Santos: El Corona, Temple, Santa Maria Beach
San Fierro: Doherty, Calton Heights
Las Venturas: Redsands East
