the los angeles climate is one of two
new locations added to gta online once
you go into the los santos carmead for
the first time and watch the cutscene
you gain the ability to buy the new
property the auto shop and what can you
do with an auto shop well actually quite
a lot just like every other property in
gta online the auto shop is not just an
auto shop it also acts as a garage a
business and a lot more so in this video
i'm gonna help you out i'm gonna tell
you how it works how to make the most
money possible what to buy where to buy
it everything so if you enjoyed this
video a thumbs up would be awesome
subscribe for more stuff like this and
let's jump in once you're ready to buy
your auto shop open up your phone go
into maze bank foreclosures and you're
gonna see five different auto shops to
choose i bought the one in the mesa for
1.92 million dollars it's in a great
location literally just up the street
from the ls kami but if that one's a bit
too expensive for you there's other
options as well moving further north
you've got burton for 1.83 moving south
we have rancho for 1.75 million moving
back closer to the la mesa one just
across the sewers is mission row for
1.67 million and then the last one we
haven't gone over is strawberry for
1.705 million or if you have twitch
prime it's free so for you guys that
have twitch prime unless you have like
over 10 20 million dollars just go with
this one and really as a general buyer's
guide for any of these none of the
locations are really that bad so really
just choose the one that you think is
gonna work best for you like i said for
me i was happy to pay more money because
i got the la mesa one that's just up the
street from the kami if you're looking
for the very best location then probably
go for la mesa once you buy your auto
shop head inside you're gonna have to
watch a cut scene and do a quick setup
mission once that's out of the way let's
talk upgrades for your first three
options you've got style tint and emblem
all of these are completely cosmetic it
really just depends how much money
you've got to spare or how much money
you want to spend in making this place
look cool if looks aren't important to
you then don't waste your money here
moving on to staff you can choose if you
want zero one or two staff members to
help you with the business side of this
property they cost 385
000 each and from my experience they're
probably not worth it if you're gonna
get one just get one but don't worry
i'll dive more into the numbers later on
in the video moving into the extras out
of all of these optional upgrades the
one i would recommend for pretty much
everyone is the personal quarters this
is gonna add a bed of wardrobe and a gun
locker in your auto shop which basically
lets you spawn here which is pretty
important so if you're gonna be using
this business a lot then probably just
spend the extra 340k next up we've got
the car left and it's important to know
that this isn't just one car lift the
business already comes with one this
would be adding a second one like it
says on the screen there it says a
second car live will allow you to repair
two cars at once ready for delivery
double the work double the pay but
that's not entirely true again we'll get
into that when we get into the numbers
right now i would say don't buy this now
that you've bought your auto shop let's
have a look inside now of course for my
live stream i bought all of the optional
upgrades so this auto shop you're seeing
is an absolute juicer i've spent like i
think it was 4.4 million dollars to
completely upgrade this looking at this
it's probably good though because it'll
help you decide what you do and don't
want so starting off on the far left
side of the auto shop you've got your
new 10 car garage that comes with every
auto shop you would have noticed that
you didn't have to actually add a garage
this one comes included you kind of
expect that right with an auto shop that
it's going to have a garage and in my
opinion this is probably the coolest
looking garage in the game any vehicles
you have in this garage you can
customize here on the spot you don't
need to drive it to benny's the ls kami
los santos customs nothing you can do it
right here which is a massive bonus
moving back to the auto shop we have an
arcade game here you know that's kind of
cool i guess and actually a really
helpful addition to the auto shop is
this little jar of snacks right here
before you go into any mission that this
property helps you start up you're going
to want to fill up on snacks you never
want to be in a gunfight without having
the ability to heal and also a really
nice addition as well even though it's
really small you could collect all
snacks at once now instead of having to
spam the button like 50 times rockstar
thank you
this right here is a car lift and over
to the left is the optional second car
lift that you can choose to add this
lets you run the business side of the
auto shop and for anyone who use the
vehicle warehouse in the import export
dlc kind of picture this as a dumbed
down version of that a lot more simple
and not as profitable every once in a
while so santa will send you a text
saying that there's a vehicle ready to
be modified and sold when you get that
text that means that a car is going to
be here ready for you to modify from
there your job is pretty simple all you
need to do is kit the car out exactly
how the customer wants the instructions
will be on the bottom of your screen
it's pretty hard to mess up modifying
any vehicle is going to cost you 35 000
from there you have two options you can
choose to sell and deliver the vehicle
yourself or you can sell and let one of
your staff members deliver the vehicle
if you sell the vehicle yourself that's
gonna take a few minutes try not to
crash or damage the vehicle to ruin the
price but if you do end up selling the
vehicle without any damage to it you're
gonna get sixty thousand dollars now
don't forget we did spend thirty five
thousand dollars upgrading it so our
profit there is only twenty five
thousand dollars and you're probably
thinking that's not much money i'm with
you at first i thought i was missing
something but this is actually just how
much the business gives you i know it's
kind of disappointing it's really not
that much money so i thought i must be
doing something wrong next time this
happened i modified the car and this
time i got my staff member to deliberate
if you choose this option it's probably
going to take your staff member about 10
to 15 minutes to actually successfully
sell the vehicle and when they do
there's a good chance that they've
actually crashed the vehicle so the
maximum amount of money you can make is
60 000
half the time whenever i get my staff to
sell the vehicle i actually only get
just over forty four thousand dollars
because they've crashed it which i mean
that's only over nine thousand dollars
profit because we spent thirty five
thousand dollars to modify the vehicle
and again you're probably thinking tgg
what's what's the go that's like no
money is this even worth it and again i
i don't know i'm kind of confused at how
bad the pay is for this which is why in
my opinion i don't think it's worth
spending the extra hundred and fifty
thousand for the second car left or
paying an extra three hundred and eighty
five thousand dollars for an extra staff
member if you even wanna get one it's
not all doom and gloom though because
there's actually two more ways to make
money with the auto shop so let's head
upstairs and on the right side of the
stairs here we've got an exotic car list
how the hell does this work well if
you've ever delivered a vehicle for
simeon it kind of works the same way as
that this list refreshes daily and any
given day you can come have a look at
which exotic cars are on the list some
of these vehicles like the carbonazar
for example spawn in free roam npcs are
just going to be driving those around
and some vehicles like the uber marked
sc1 for example doesn't spawn in free
run or at least they didn't until now so
this gives us a few options if we wanted
to find a carbonazar for example we know
that vehicle spawns in free roam so just
look around the city and try and find an
npc driving walk when we do you're gonna
have to deliver that vehicle to the
docks if you do that you're gonna get
twenty thousand dollars for the vehicles
that don't normally spawn in free roam
the way you can get these is by looking
out on your minimap for a blue dot if
you're lucky enough to find one of these
blue dots go up to it steal the vehicle
and then deliver it to the docks as well
for you guessed it twenty thousand
dollars this is a cool little new
addition to the game again just like the
actual car lift and the sort of import
export it doesn't really pay that much
twenty thousand dollars for a delivery i
mean it's okay but it's just not great
compared to other money making methods
in the game overall i'm not gonna
complain though because just like the
car lift import export this also isn't
the main part of this property and
you've been waiting for it let's move on
to it now the new mini heists which is
what gta is calling contract missions to
start these up head up to the back of
your auto shop on the planning board
right here and really just choose
whichever one you want to start up every
single mission has two setups and a
finale and honestly all of them are a
lot of fun i was surprised at how fun
these are these will probably take most
players around
25-ish minutes probably between 20 and
30 minutes for most players that's if
you're doing it solo if you're doing it
with a group you can probably smash
these out in 20 minutes pretty easily in
total there's six new contract missions
all of which are gonna pay around 170 to
180 000 plus you're gonna get an extra
seventy five thousand dollars for every
first time completion another underrated
part of these as well is you're gonna
get ten thousand dollars each time you
complete a setup so no these aren't
gonna earn you the type of money that
heists will but overall it's still
pretty decent pay you complete two set
up missions that's twenty thousand
dollars you complete the finale which is
between one hundred and sixty to one
hundred and eighty thousand we'll round
it up to two hundred thousand two
hundred thousand plus the seventy five
thousand dollar completion bonus and all
up you got a minimum of two hundred and
fifty thousand maximum of two hundred
and seventy five thousand dollars for
about half an hour's work not amazing
but not terrible plus they're pretty fun
if you plan on bringing friends along
your friends are gonna get fifty
thousand 000 upon every completion
they're not going to get the full 170
ish thousand dollars so just keep that
in mind as well at this stage i'm not
really planning on doing walkthroughs
for each individual mission i think
they're pretty straightforward but if i
was going to give you a couple tips now
for your two set up missions on every
house try to use your fastest vehicle
whether that's a helicopter and a
presser anything that's just in free
mode you can use whatever vehicle you
want you can also do it in an
invite-only lobby so that griefers can't
attack you for the finale though you are
gonna have to use one of the new tuna
vehicles if you can't afford any of the
tuna vehicles that came with this update
don't worry they're gonna let you goose
to santa's car for free now some people
are gonna complain that you can't use
your oppressors and your futuristic
vehicles in the finale but i think
that's what actually makes this update
unique for anyone who played gta online
at launch or even just the older gta's
this is technically what grand theft
auto is meant to be by definition this
is what grand theft auto is the whole
theme around this update is car culture
is back and this makes it feel like it
is no futuristic vehicles just fast cars
and street level crime this is what
makes these unique like i said and this
is why i almost prefer these over the
heists i i don't know yet it's too early
to tell so there you have it that's the
auto shop overall not the best for
making money there's a lot of other
businesses that are definitely better if
you love cars though if you're a car guy
this is a must buy property if you're
only a money grinder and cars aren't
really for you you can probably miss
this one wrap it up there i hope this
video helped if it did a thumbs up would
be awesome subscribe for more stuff like
this and i'll see you in the next video
