Forza Horizon 6 has a wealth of customization options, each granting you control over exactly how much realism you want to add to your driving experience. One of the primary ways you can change how realistic or arcade-y the game plays is through the car damage option. You can turn car damage on to have a challenging adventure where every collision could spell disaster, or you can turn car damage off for a more laid-back drive through Japan. If you choose the former, though, you may also need to repair your car sometimes.

Of course, just note that engaging with any of these repair options means fully resetting your car’s drivability and returning it to its original cosmetic beauty, undoing all that hard work you’ve put into turning it into a scrapyard’s dream. If that’s what you’re after, here’s how to repair cars in Forza Horizon 6.
