Never thought I would revist this, but here we are!
There is two versions of this mod now. One for vanilla game (works if dlc is installed as well)
and the other is strictly for GoTR v1.9.2.
I am currently making a DLC compatible version of GoTR which is unofficially v1.9.3.
This mod is included by default and made compatible with that version of gotr, so you do not need this installed when that releases.
Any mod that edits sr2_city.lua is more or less not compatible!
I have included a compatibility file if you plan to use sandbox++.

MECHANIC INFO
This has a plane, boat, and heli mechanic.
Plane mech will unlock and be usable once you buy the Airport Hangar crib.
Boat mech will unlock and be usable once you buy the Suburbs Dock crib.
Heli mech will unlock and be usable once you buy the Saints Row Mega Condo crib.
The plane and heli mechanic are located at the airport, and the boat mechanic is located near the suburbs dock crib.
All vehicles can now be customized, or at the very least enter mechanics.
I did not recrunch any vehicles, just removed there custvar flags and allowed wheels to go to max size/width.
In the off chance a vehicle doesn't contain any options, you will now get a message that says no item in category.
Heli mech is disabled while in coop.
If you want customizable DLC Vehicles, get them from HERE

TECHNICAL INFO
The original version of this mod was a bug fest to say the least.
This new version works way better than it ever has, it however is still a bit jank, but I did the best I could.
When you get near the heli mechanic while in a heli, it will prompt you to press 3.
After you do that you will enter the heli mechanic and you can now edit your heli.
Once you exit the heli mechanic, you will notice the heli mechanic will no longer show the "press 3" message.
This is intended behavior to avoid issues. If you wish to re-enter just fly up 20feet then go back down and
you will be able to enter the heli mechanic again.
In coop the heli mechanic is disabled due to issues with the coop player.
If any player gets within 40feet of the heli mechanic the code will run through and will disable ALL car mechanics.
This includes, heli, car, plane, and boat mechanics.
Sadly this was the only solution I could find to disable the heli mechanic while in coop.
But don't worry, car mechanics don't stay disabled forever lol. Once the player gets 41+ feet away from the heli mechanic all car mechanics will work as intended. This was just a hacky fix to make sure the heli mechanic won't work while in coop.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
I only cover how to install using juiced, there's 0 reason people should still be using patch.vpp based mods when juiced loads files as loose file format.
Vanilla Mechanics if using vanilla game/vanilla game with dlc
Only install this if your game is vanilla/dlc!
Drag and drop Vanilla Mechanics into the mods folder that is located in the root of your sr2 directory. Assuming you installed juiced correctly.
Now edit your loose.txt which is also located in your sr2 root directory if juiced is installed correctly.
