In-Character History

Bayview Auto Center has a extensive history that predates it current location and name.

Early History

In 2016, there was only one mechanic shop serving the City of Los Santos called Los Santos Mechanical Services, which was later renamed Los Santos Customs. Located in the Southern part of the city next to the Los Santos International Airport, it was the go-to mechanic shop vehicle repairs and modifications.

In early 2017 the San Andreas State Government decided to set up another mechanic shop to help with the growing demand on mechanical services. Under the ownership of Billy Biggs, Biggs' Premium Motor Works founded and took over the mechanic shop location next to the Los Santos International Airport whilst Los Santos Customs relocated to a new location, where it can be found today.

Biggs' Premium Motor Works continued to thrive, building up a loyal customer base. However by mid-2017 the mechanic shop underwent a transformation and rebranded as Bayview Auto Center where it continued to operate with a strong commitment to providing their customers with the best possible service, and striving to exceed their expectations.

Paleto Bay

In April 2020 the San Andreas State Government decided to relocate Bayview to Paleto Bay.

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.
