I've repaired my swoop 3 times now, only to store it and call it, and have it appear with the same health as before I repaired it. It has also dissappeared on me, to be called again with the same 50% health... Repairing is not working for me, can anyone else comment? I've spent about 15k so far trying to fix my bike with NO success.

Artisans b1itched and b1itched about the shuttle repair bug until it was "fixed" but didn't say a word about the garage repair bugs. Way to go artisans!.

I've heard it's a matter of the database not getting updated with the repaired hit points if you store too soon. Of course, that doesn't seem to stop the credits from getting paid. /rolleyes.
The best workaround I saw went like this:
1) Drive to a garage. Dismount.
2) Store the bike.
3) Call the bike, wait for the "-##" tick you get every time you call it.
4) Repair the bike.
5) You can now store the bike, and when you call it again it should have full hit points.
You can also repair the bike when you're not planning on storing it (say, heading out of town, instead of coming back in), and as long as it decays a bit before you store it, you might be ok.

I've only repaired a couple of vehicles so far, but both times I've stored them immediately after the repair, then recalled them.
On a different note, vehicles sales seem to have picked up again.

I've only encountered this issue once. Ona side note, saw a burning bike outside a starport yesterday. Just kinda chuckled to myself, whishing I could see the guy's when he got to his destination and called his bike again. And it was in the same burning condition.

I had a repairs that didn't stick a day or two. I forgot to store after the repair. When I got to my house about 1km away i stored it then when re-generated it was back to pre-repair condition. I opened up a trouble ticket and was reimbursed the cost of the repairs the CSR said that the Dev team was still working on the probs with repairs no sticking and that I should wait a 1/2 hour before storing my vehicle after a repair in order to make sure it stays that way.
Not only is this ridiculous to keep a vehicle out (when not using it) for a half hour when it's condition is going down (so that more repairs are required). but it basically goes against the theory of storing/calling a vehicle immediately after repairing.
I don't understand why they would fix the shuttle repair bug when there are still numerous probs with vehicles storing unintentionally, not storing when you want, and repairs are still bugged. **edit** Devs?
I'd imagine that there are a lot of pissed off players, now that disabled vehicles can't be repaired,

yeah, all I can figure is that you have to wait a bit before you store it as someone said above. if it remembers the new damage it will not reset at the old damage.
also do not repair it just before you log off. I found this made it reset as well.
I am now selling good vehicles and PVP/PVE (disposable) vehicles. that way My good resouces do not get sold for less than they are worth, yet people who get their bikes blown up a lot (in pvp/pve) can also afford a really cheap bike made from really crappy resouces.
so I got bad swoops at 20k and great 93+ swoops at 60k.
They both seam to sell.
