Trivia[]
- Upgrading a car to level one will earn the player the Tuned Ride achievement.
- Upgrading a car to level two will earn the player the Dream Handling achievement.
- Vehicles can also be repaired in your garage for a price. In all three of the game's DLCs your garage automatically repairs your car at no charge; however, unlike the base game, the repair does not clean it.
- Entering a Body Shop automatically cleans your vehicle. This can be used as a quick way to wash a car instead of using a Shiny car wash.
