BlockUp Garage Guide

Your garage is more than a parking tile. In BlockUp — Bike Life Version 1.0, garages hold the bikes that fund your week, win your duels, and fill your photo mode. This guide shows how to organize slots by role, keep upkeep sane, and present builds your crew will remember. Parent hub: Players.

Why garage discipline matters

• Dealership stock changes — a written role plan beats impulse buys (Tier List, Best Bikes).
• Workshop experiments need a safe baseline bike to revert comparisons (Customize Bike).
• 15-player servers mean people visit, spectate, and judge presentation.
• Oil, wash, and fuel neglect shows up the moment you pull out for a delivery or duel.

Suggested slot template

Slot	Role	Purpose
1	Starter / trainer	Teach friends; warm-up wheelies
2	Utility / Mid earner	Deliveries & daily cash
3	Duel specialist	1v1 wheelie rulesets
4	High all-rounder	Pride rides, mixed nights
5	Flex / photo	Streetwear + pose sessions

You may own fewer bikes — collapse to Earner + Flex as a minimum viable garage. Expand after How to Earn Money and Mechanic Jobs feel automatic.

Setup workflow for each new bike

1. Buy with a role in mind (not a thumbnail).
2. Park immediately; name it mentally (“Night Courier”, “Duel Stick”).
3. Run a wash/oil/fuel check before first flex screenshot.
4. Apply workshop changes one category at a time so handling feedback is clear.
5. Take a photo-mode baseline from two angles.
6. Test the role route: delivery loop, duel lot, or basketball arrival.
7. Only then show the crew.

Presentation tips

• Match streetwear colors to wraps for cleaner shots.
• Use poses deliberately — arrival pose vs win pose vs casual lean.
• Keep a “dirty work” earner visually distinct from the flex bike so friends do not take your money-maker joyriding without fuel.
• Basketball court meets are great neutral backgrounds; garages are best for detail close-ups.
• Passengers? Offer the Mid/Utility bike, not the untested duel frame.

Maintenance board (keep it boring)

Create a habit after every long session:

1. Fuel top-off if tomorrow starts with deliveries.
2. Oil check after aggressive burnout practice.
3. Wash before photo night.
4. Note any physics weirdness that might be a patch — compare with Version 1.0 and Updates.

Boring garages win championships. Flashy broken bikes do not.

Crew garage nights

• Rotate who hosts the meetup.
• Ban executors entirely — Scripts has nothing verified and plenty of risk.
• Optional: small buy-in cash races funded by honest deliveries, never by fake codes.
• End with a group photo mode collage for social posts (still link people to Official Links when inviting newcomers).

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
Bike feels worse after cosmetics	Revert last workshop change; cosmetics sometimes pair with part swaps
No money for a second slot	Stay on Utility; reread earn-money + mechanic guides
Friends crash your duel bike	Soft-lock it as “display / duel only” in crew rules
New patch, weird handling	Re-test on trainer slot first; check Updates hub
Tempted by “free garage unlock” links	Walk away — phishing territory

Learning path

Brand-new riders should finish Getting Started and Controls before obsessing over flex lighting. Stunt mains add How to Wheelie. Everyone benefits from role literacy on the Tier List Hub.

Closing standard

A great BlockUp garage answers three questions at a glance: How do I earn? How do I win duels? How do I show off? Fill those roles, keep upkeep green, and your Players Hub identity writes itself.
