Is there any real down side to strictly using Quick Fix on Body?

[{DDB} Ghostface and chill]

Since the body is one of few parts that cant be replaced, isnt quick fix the cheap smart way to repair it? it doesnt wear like other parts when you quick fix it. Ive never once not gotten 100% repair from quick fixing it. It almost seems like standard repair on bodywork is extraneous.

Isn't quick fix just replacing the part with a new part? Faster but more expensive. Correct me if I'm wrong

No, Replace is replacing. Quick Fix forces you to only quick fix the part from now on until you replace it. In the meantime, its performance steadily decreases (wear) until you do so. This happens to every thing except the body. Except the lights too, they have to be replaced each fix

A few weeks have passed, so I was wondering: is there any new insight on this?
Did anyone find any downside to using quick fix on the car's body?

From what I can tell. Quick fix acts just like a standard repair. With less time to do so.

The downside of performing a quick fix is that next time around a part requires a replacement without being able to Standard or Quick Fix. But for the body, you can't replace it ever. So the option is only standard.

So Quick Fix and Standard repairs do the same repair but with drastically different costs.

Which is stupid. But my only guess is to save some cash with quick fix, and next time requires a standard repair? But if I remember correctly, you can just keep Quick Fixing the body.

I would reply to this thread but I'm not sure replying to a banned member at this time is respectful considering his lack of ability to reply back :-/

I have no idea. This information as far as I personally believe is not and should be not be something that should be discussed on these open forums - but clearly he broke the rules somewhere along the line enough to get this ban.

Perhaps he continued his trolling of others but to be fair I have no idea... Perhaps he came across as above the law but this is all speculation of course.

Interesting. Oh well I guess.

Moving along. Lol

Didn't think you implied that. :)

There is no reason that you would ever need to use standard fix on the body. I can confirm it doesnt wear so standard fix is a waste of money

They didn't mention this in the patch notes, but there was a change to the body quick fix: it now acts like a partial repair.
Before repairs:

After using quick fix on body:

It still seems to be good value for the money, as it doesn't just repair 50%. Seems like a 90% repair to me.

I think there might be a bug in the bodywork fixing: I could swear I've repaired cars in the garage/menus before an event but there's still something to fix at the service area or the car is dented. Sometimes the bodywork isn't perfect even if it is repaired fully. I have a feeling that it's only visual, but sometimes one of the headlights isn't on in a situation like this and it'll affect the night stages. All of this has happened before the latest patch.

After the latest patch, quick-fixed cars seem and behave like the hammer-fixed machines of NASCAR during pit-stops.

Better than earlier game version.

I have had a similar bug. Every time I play my RX career my windshield is cracked. Doesnt matter if I just repaired it or not.
