Don't feel too bad. Our Garage has NEVER worked correctly. Once in a rare event it will work for someone but it is completely random and approximately 80% of the time it wont work.
I tried moving it etc, made no difference.
Got A CSR to work on it... made no difference. He even tried moving it himself, and even gave me a different garage to try... ended by saying... well I'll let the dev's know... but there's nothing I can do.

This is odd as most start working after they are moved/set after the next server reset. Not sure if you tried this, kinda a shot in the dark but if you have tried everything else there is nothing to lose.
Set your garage tax to 0%. Pick up your garage and wait for the next server reset. Then the server will think you have no garage. Then re-place the garage (preferably in a different location), set the tax again and wait for the next server reset to see if it start working. To test, have someone at city hall watching the cash balance right after you repair the vehicle.
Another thing to note is the max garage tax is 30%. Have heard of people trying to set outside the 0-30% and having odd things happen as this is a percentage and not a credit figure add to the repair cost. Also may take a week or so to do as server resets are not everyday anymore. Guess the only way to tell if the server reset without a patch being added is to leave you toon in-game and checking after the normal time to see if it is still on.
Hope this helps ........

Our city just advanced to Township. I moved our Garage to make room for a Cloning Facility. Now my Garage is not working.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks

Wait for the next server reset and it should work like a charm.

as everyone said, sometimes garages don't work until server reset. if it still doesn't work by then, you might be on a server boundary. you can try asking a CSR to help you place it somewhere away from the boundary.

A CSR has already told me there are no boundaries near our new city...i hate those bloody things with a passion. Im confident garage will work just fine though.

My city's garage stopped working. The fix described by SOE is below.
"There is currently an issue affecting some Player City garages where the option to repair vehicles is not available. This may be resolved by changing the Player City's Income Tax setting to 10%. After the Income Tax has been adjusted, please wait for the next save cycle and the garage should begin working within the hour. If you have attempted to resolve this issue by adjusting the Income Tax of your Player City and the garage still will not repair vehicles, please wait until your next city update period, this should cause the garage to begin functioning normally."
My question is: 10 percent? My only option is to set the tax between 1 and 2000 credits. So I ask, 10 percent of what?

There is an option to set an individual tax on just the Player City Garage. However, I have found that if a garage you just placed or moved to a new area will not work till after the server resets every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

well, we dont have a tax on our garage and the garage aint working - the easy fix is to store the vehicle and recall it, then you can repair it...

Just place a garage in our city and it doesnt seem to be working. Any reason for this? At first I thought it might be because of a server boundary but i moved it and still doesnt work. Thx in advance!
