Can't use garage, repair, or change vehicle weapons.

Ok I feel like a dumbass for asking this because I have been playing FPS since quake 1. And google doesnt reveal any answers. I can't get the guy in the first town to repair my biggy when I park it in the shop. In Wellspring I cannot enter the garage. I appraoch the main door and hit activate but I just exit the car and take the front door. When I go to the garage my buggy isn't there. Also when I run out of rockets I cannot switch to the minigun despite using mapped keys for Next and Previous weapon. What the hell is going on here I'm confused.

Try using the left mouse button for Wellspring at the gate.

Yeah, it sounds like you use the wrong key.

I experimented and Googled for an hour or two before finding this. I can't believe how well hidden this detail was. Normally while driving, the left mouse button fires vehicle weapons and to enter a door while walking, one uses the "E" key, so using left mouse button to enter a garage is very surprising.

Nothing on the screen suggested that clicking the left mouse button was the correct way to enter a garage and neither was there anything about it on the key config screen. Indeed, all that ever shows on the screen are the supremely unhelpful console controller buttons which don't map directly to keyboard or mouse buttons. Forcing the player to fumble around to find the right keys by trial and error while the screen indicates buttons that don't exist really makes the game feel like crap even while it functions perfectly in every other way. Assuming that a player using a PC would use a console controller is very poor and an especially dumb and disappointing mistake for iD to make. Perhaps this is one small indicator that they've jumped the shark.

Use the fire button to enter garage/repair whatever. I left mine default as mouse 1, or left mouse button. When that message appears press the fire button.

With the multiple weapons, only the Caprino and Monarch have multiple weapon switch. The Dune buster and Rat Rod need to be equipped separately.
Hope that answers your questions.

Yeah i learned that you had to use the fire button to enter the garage, thats why it took me so long to figure out. I didn't want to waste ammo!

Works a lot better with a controller!

I don't use a controller for FPSs. Religious reasons.

I don't either for the FPS part, but controllers always work better for driving, due to the nature of the analogue sticks and triggers.
