To repair a vehicle completely, you need 10 - 30 seconds, depending on the vehicle's armoring and damage. While you are repairing a vehicle, a progression icon appears, that represents how much repairing still needs to be done.

An additional plate that ensures chest protection. It allows you to absorb 50% more damage to the chest, before you die. This is much, especially that the majority of players aim at the chest mainly.

Hints

Repair the vehicles of your allies, if they need it. This way, you can ensure the driver in your team, with advantage of the one in the enemy ream. Remember that some of the vehicles can be repaired from the inside,. You simply change seats to the passenger seat, equip the repair tool and use it on any part of the vehicle. Apart from that, repairing is an excellent way of getting more money.

Use your gadgets to destroy enemy vehicles. Regardless of whether it is a grenade launcher or Sabotage. The mechanic is the only class that can use the grenade launcher so, he plays a vital role in the "hotwire" mode.

Whenever getting into a car, and you want to use it for longer, than just for traveling to a different point, make sure that you have the Repair tool on you. Even if you are only going to be a passenger or the gunman.

The weapons available for the mechanic are not so good over medium range. This is why, if your plan for the round is to run around the map and seize points, it is better to pick the class of the operator or the enforcer, because they pack better weapons.
