I have a new favorite book: Spacehawk, Inc. by Ron Goulart.
It's about Kip Bundy, Space Engineer! He builds robots, mostly, and has to go to Malagra to fix a bunch of robot butlers who have gone kablooie and have high potential surliness ratings. And he has to fix them without letting their owners know, because it might cause an international incident, somehow.
Mostly, it's got catmen, and lizardmen, (who you can shoot, no one minds) and the Boyscout Liberation Army, a talking car, a robot revolutionary who glues on his beard, and all manner of equally wacky happenings.
It's the kind of book that you figure out very quickly, because there's really only one kind of book where the protagonist is named "Kip Bundy."
