How to unlock the The Mechanic achievement in Saints Row - Definitive Guide
To get this achievement, you'll need to upgrade a vehicle to level 3 and activate its signature ability.
To upgrade a vehicle to level 3, you'll need to be level 15 and the total cost is $130,000 - $5,000 for level 1, $25,000 for level 2, and $100,000 for level 3. To upgrade a vehicle, go to a garage, select the vehicle, and click "Customize." In the customization menu, you can select "Upgrade Kit" and invest money into the vehicle here. You gain access to the level 1 upgrade when you're level 5, the level 2 upgrade at level 10, and the level 3 upgrade at level 15.
To unlock a vehicle's signature ability, you'll need to complete a task specific to the vehicle. This task appears when you enter the vehicle. It also appears in the bottom right of the screen when you're in the customization menu in a garage. As an example, some vehicles require you to perform 3 barrel rolls or to sideswipe 8 enemy vehicles. Once you've completed the task, you'll be able to toggle on the signature ability in the customization menu at a garage.
Once both of these criteria have been met, the achievement should pop.
Note: Another commenter has confirmed that you do not need to purchase the vehicle accessories (nitrous, towing cable, off-road kit) for the achievement. Thanks to Sina117!

In order to fully upgrade your vehicle, you need to head to your garage at the church. Choose a vehicle, go to customize and then down the bottom, under Equipment, apply the upgrade kits. The first one costs $5k, the second costs $25,000 and the third $100,000. Just make sure you've unlocked the Signature Ability first - although this took us a few attempts with a few different cars for this to unlock.
To fully upgrade a vehicle you need to reach at least level 15 to unlock the three upgrade levels; you must also unlock the signature ability for your chosen vehicle. You need to unlock a few of these for other trophies anyway and some of them require very little effort so you'll probably have a few unlocked by the time you reach level 15.
Once you do, head to any garage and buy the upgrade kit 3 times, this will cost you a total of $130,000. Once you've bought all three upgrades and unlocked the signature ability, this will pop.
