Brief story:
As the sun rose over the LV-LS Highway, I opened up the Cuban Cars garage, ready for another day of hard work and RP action. Not long after, the CC wannabes rolled in, eager to get their hands dirty and learn the trade. Today was all about teamwork, efficiency, and making sure every customer left satisfied.
The work started strong—one of the first customers was a pizza delivery biker whose brakes had completely given out. Without hesitation, we got to work, diagnosing the issue and quickly replacing the faulty parts. The wannabes watched closely, learning how to handle such an issue efficiently. The biker, relieved to have his brakes working again, paid up, gave us a thumbs-up, and sped off to continue his deliveries.
Shortly after, another customer pulled up in a fuel-starved vehicle, desperate for a top-up. We wasted no time, refueling his ride and making sure he was good to go. These small but important tasks kept us busy, and the garage was running like a well-oiled machine—until something bigger rolled in.
A SWAT member, driving an armored vehicle, pulled into the garage and requested a full inspection. It was a serious job, and we took it as such. The wannabes observed as I led the inspection—checking the tires, fluids, and engine, making sure everything was running smoothly. A few minor repairs were needed, and after working on the vehicle for some time, we got it back to peak performance. The total cost came out to $560, which the SWAT officer was about to pay.
However, just as things were wrapping up, an unexpected incident occurred. One of our mechanics had been inappropriate toward the SWAT Lieutenant, and the officer, rightfully upset, called me over. He expressed his concern, explaining that if people like that continued working here, it could ruin the garage’s reputation. I immediately apologized, but he insisted that I had nothing to be sorry for—it was the mechanic’s fault, and he needed to be held accountable.
Things escalated quickly. The SWAT officer didn’t let the situation slide—he called in backup, requesting another unit to handle the matter. Before we knew it, sirens blared in the distance, and the mechanic—realizing what was happening—tried to make a run for it. But there was no escape. The officers were quick, pinning him down and taking him into custody right outside the garage. It was a moment of chaos, but at the same time, a reminder that professionalism mattered in this business.
With that incident behind us, we refocused on our work. The wannabes took it as a lesson—respect and professionalism go a long way, and actions have consequences. We continued serving customers for a while longer, making sure everyone was taken care of before finally closing up shop for the day.
As I locked up the garage, I reflected on the day’s events. It had been a mix of hard work, good lessons, and unexpected drama, but in the end, we pushed through. The Cuban Cars garage on the LV-LS Highway remained strong, and tomorrow would be another day to build our reputation and keep the wheels turning.
