In-Character History

Early History

Bayview Auto Center, or simply known as Bayview, has not always been located in Paleto Bay, nor has it always been known by that name.

In 2016, there was only one sole mechanic shop that served the City of Los Santos called Los Santos Mechanical Services, later known as Los Santos Customs, situated in the South of the city next to the Los Santos International Airport. In early 2017 the San Andreas State Government decided to set up another mechanic shop to help with the increase of customers. Under the ownership of Billy Biggs, Biggs' Premium Motor Works founded. Los Santos Customs moved to a new location, where it can be found today, and Biggs' took over the mechanic shop at Los Santos International Airport.

Biggs' Premium Motor Works continued to thrive, building up it's customer base until Mid 2017 when Biggs' Premium Motor Works closed down and reopened as Bayview Auto Center.

Recruitment

Our recruitment process is separated into three parts:

Application Process

Bayview is constantly recruiting new members for entry-level mechanic positions. Our application form can be found on Bayview's recruitment forums, where you should also read the other important information.

The following requirements must be met for your application to be considered:

• You must have at least 5000 experience on the character you are applying with.
• You need to have a clean admin record of at least 14 days from when you submit your application.

Interview Process

If you pass the application phase, then you will be invited for an in-character interview. This interview will be used to judge your ability to roleplay and communicate effectively.

Training Phase

If your interview is accepted, you will be invited to join the faction and complete your training. The training can be the most difficult part of the recruitment process for some, as it is very roleplay intensive. It can also be fairly difficult because mechanic RP has a learning curve to it, and can be difficult for some to learn. The initial training will teach you the basics of mechanic RP, where you will learn how to roleplay basic engine and visual repairs, and how to roleplay some types of modifications. We will also teach you how to use the tow trucks and flatbeds. After your training, we will provide you with resources where you can learn more about how to service cars, and will also provide feedback as time goes on.
