Salvage Yard In Depth Guide (Payouts, How It Works & More) | GTA Online Chop Shop DLC

[@ImmaBeBored]

A little tip for the tow truck service. Set ur spawn at the salvage yard and launch tow truck service and if you don’t like the location of the car you’re gonna be towing just start another invite only lobby until you get a better location. This will save a lot of time.

[@Gtamen]

Also works with locations of the free roam missions!

[@szr99g51]

​@TheWerep no you dont

[@realmustangboy6437]

Or use fire on the gas tank to blow it up if you don't feel like doing so, but still good tip.

[@0enxs]

No u dont need any upgrades to spawn there​@@TheWerep

[@TheLegacy-Gaming]

Also works with delivering cars from your auto shop or motorcycles from your clubhouse, only difference is that you can just blow up the vehicle/bike and try again.

[@greedgod5827]

The tow truck upgrade shouldve been between the regular one and the slamvan towtruck

[@galaxspace1]

tow truck missions are honestly pretty good because of how simple and quick the missions are. The fact I dont need to deal with AI or a slow truck or something is really nice as in 6 minutes I can be don eand get over 100K on my next login.

[@roycropper698]

It’s good and helps if you’ve got multiple businesses but, it could’ve been so much better.

[@Ramondorez]

You sometime get a text message when picking up the car, about an angry owner. But they never seem to spawn. Probably another oopsie by the developers.

[@TheShadyElf]

@@Ramondorez Correction: just have to wait a bit, no need to get out of the truck they spawn if you get out of the truck. In one location (some trailer park) the dude's dog started attacking me too. But if you stay in the tow truck they don't spawn. I enjoy beating them up so I make sure to spawn them ( I leave the dog alone though)

[@hiflyer000]

If you didn't get a wanted level all the time it would be better. As it stands this is worse than Auto Shop and MC deliveries, and Bunker/Warehouse excess parts missions.

This business is obviously not the best money maker, but I find doing this, autoshop, and leaving my bunker and casino running passively to be way more fun than grinding cayo all day. Plus not all of us play this game non stop. Also it’s said we should be able to keep the cars soon. Which would make this business the “most profitable” if they actually let you keep the good cars.

[@sategllib2191]

Casino running passively? What do you mean?

[@wheeet22]

@@sategllib2191 it makes money as long as you go there every hour or 2 and do the security mission. 50k a day plus whatever business crates you have going in the basement part of the nightclub. The bunker you just buy the supplies as long as you have the upgrades

I’ve been trying to figure this out for so long.

[@sooperdude22]

So to sum it all up... *The Robberies:* Import/Export, but with extra steps. *The Tow Truck Service:* Something that should have been in the game long ago, like Taxi Work. *The purchasable cop cars:* Ridiculously expensive because Rockstar knows people will burn all their money for a Crown Vic. *The GTA+ Garage:* The easiest way to tell who the most gullible whales are. *Hotel:* Trivago

I feel like people are writing the Salvage Yard off without having worked the numbers out. You only need to do FOUR tows for maximum popularity, then do ONE tow per

[@whist214]

to afk, you can go to casino horse race and go to the betting screen and just leave it there and never place a bet. full proof afk.

[@Cjcoolherc]

I incorporate this into my daily passive grind with payphone hits, business contracts, VIPs, auto shop repairs, and sells and I’ve ended making somewhere around an extra 250k a day. It’s definitely an active players business but with some methods, you can make even more. The main thing I think this does (for me) is complete the variety of things to do in a public lobby while making money. I can confidently say I make at least 100k every 15 minutes of actively playing the game now.

[@DeadzoneClassicW1629]

what VIP missions do you do headhunter and sightseer? i usually do payphone hit first, refill nightclub popularity, boost acid lab production, auto shop union depository contract, security contracts, auto shop cars, hangar supplies, sell acid lab, and sell nightclub once in a while

[@Mazzl67]

Actually the business is pretty lucrative. I tow a vehicle every 5 ingame days which is honestly like 10 minutes out of a 4 hour session and I get 24k for the first 2 days after 21.6k for the next 2 and 19.2 for the 5th day when I start to tow a new vehicle. If you add those up you get 110.4k for that one vehicle tow, which is pretty insane. You just cant spam it like other businesses

[@matisporteman381]

deluxo glitch?

[@Mdsred]

I've noticed the wall safe in the salvage yard fills up a lot quicker than on other businesses . Every 50 minutes or couple hours I'm always grabbing 140 180 nearly 200k every time .. but you need to tow cars for salvage . Which is the only thing left to do in the 7 days cool down . 3 robberies and one week until we can start making money back .. Both are fun , robbery and salvage , but i can see it why rockstar only gives us 3 heists a week .. this way we always a little excited to get the weekly robberies and it will take longer to become boring ..

[@TufteMotorsport]

I really enjoyed this. Just picking up cars while chilling, getting a new car inspired property with VCR TV and Windows 98 PC.. R* are excelent world builders. I can just sit for hours in my arcade, autoshop and chop shop while doing other things in real life. I would give this an 8/10 stars.

[@TheLastBrandon]

Thank you for the excellent in-depth breakdown GTAmen! Great stuff, as always 👍

[@Omni0404]

I feel lucky cause not only am I having a lot of fun with this, I think the money is good. Win-win for me!

[@M0NE4]

Well i started playing gta 5 again after 8 years & out of business i liked acid lab, auto shop & salvage yard (since I'm a car guy)also i don't play much everyday but whenever i play i enjoy these 3 a lot, they simple,ez Fulfill enjoyment.

[@NailStrafer]

For tows, I'd think the most efficient approach would be to do one tow every 5 in-game days (assuming you get staff and safe upgrade). This is enough to maintain popularity in the highest ranges, and you don't lose much passive safe income from waiting that long between tows anyway. You'd get around $110K+ from the safe plus whatever that one tow gets you, so around $140-150K total. Not bad for doing just one little tow mission every once in a while. If not getting safe but getting staff upgrade, a safe empty and tow every 4 days should keep you under the $100K stock safe limit.

[@DanG-ld5ci]

The regular safe is probably better for this

[@InvisibleHotdog]

Hopefully they release more/different carjacking missions like they did with Tuners, where they gave us a handful to start then new ones week by week, otherwise this is gonna be an update of all time (still better than Mercenaries lol)

[@MegaRenegade1000]

Nice! So popularity like the Nightclubs. Im not in it for the money but the content is enough to keep me for the next 6 months at least.

[@4evermilkman]

Maybeim weird but i like this addition to GTA. Its a little something to do every week and who knows maybe some weeks will give us something exciting! Im looking forward to surprise hiest rewards. I dont need something to grind, i want something to sip and enjoy

[@tankdogization]

I do less business sell missions and heists and do more running around and collecting from all my properties. I will first spawn in my bunker and deliver the weapon parts for 50k. I’ll head to my office to deliver mixed goods for another 50k. I’ll start up a payphone hit for another 85k. I’ll head to all my businesses (nightclub, agency, arcade and now salvage yard) and collect that passive income. Maybe do a security contract and help throw someone out of my nightclub to keep the popularity up. Do client car missions for the auto shop. I’ll mix in VIP work, client jobs, tow truck service and security contracts as I’m waiting for the payphone hit, bunker and mixed goods to cool down. It all adds up within a couple hours.

[@psychopat4402]

That’s literally my exact daily or “hourly” routine lmfao. This new salvage yard is perfect for my brother as he has issues and can’t really do stuff like dr Dre, or delivering all the stuff for mc but this, the customer bike shop for mc and auto shop delivery the amu nation truck are perfect for him.

[@tankdogization]

@@psychopat4402I’d go back to doing business sell missions if they made them more solo friendly. But I just can’t drive around the map in slow delivery vans all day for a measly amount of money when I can make it quickly by doing small jobs which payout the same amount in less time.

[@GNX157]

I don’t even bother with some of what you do, just the NC passive, pay phone hits, Acid deliveries. I’ll do sells on whatever fills up due to doing the stash house, and only do the stash house when the acid lad is fully empty of supplies in case that gets chosen. I don’t even travel. I play in solo friend lobby and just change spawn location and hop to new lobby over and over.

[@SKULLTHEWIZARD]

That's a pretty decent business

[@MrGAMEOVER85]

Everyone hating on this, saying it sucks.... sorry but i bought it the day before reset, got all 3 cars done, logged on next day, got all 3 cars again, and ran tows every couple hours for 5 minute jobs each time, while doing my other passive top ups in between. 30 hours of gameplay, net profit (after subtracting buying the yard) was in the neighborhood of 25-28mil. If you think this is crap, you're doing it wrong.

[@MrGAMEOVER85]

@xThatBoiChris neither. The one west of arena war. The one you use to crush the target in the payphone hits.

[@loganking8435]

That's straight up not possible lmao. Off of the 6 cars you would have made no more then 2.5 million. Even with tow truck missions the most they pay per hour is close to 100k. Not a bad buisness by any means especially now that you can claim vechicles but you aren't making 25 million in 30 hours playtime.

So is it true to keep the stolen cars you are going to need a document forgery, kind of a weird requirement but I do like how they are interconnecting businesses as a whole

​@@galaxspace1Doesn't apply until next week.

[@ChimpManZ1264]

It will be. The logic behind the Doc Forgery is part of the fee requires forging documents to prove you own the car to Mors Mutual. So using your own cuts out that part of the fee.

[@koolk6628]

I use my tow truck, I get 2 cars ever hr, & it works when the game is off. So every time I log back in I usually get 70-80k from the cars. I have only played GTA about 2 hrs a day since wed & I have earned an easy 600k from my tow truck, & I have 216k waiting in my safe. So I will have the tow truck paid off in a few more hours. So I have made over 800k in about 4 days, add the 995k I made from the robberies & I thin its all been worth it so far & fun new content.

[@ethan7376]

I genuinely wouldn’t mind the one week cooldown if it actually paid well. The only way you can justify the one week cooldown is if it’s giving millions per car or something. Imo they should either remove the one week cooldown, or buff the pay to like 1-1.5million each (depending on the car)

Adding the animals is a nice bonus but I wish we had new stuff on the radio out now :( That's what I always look forward to the most, Rockstar has great taste in music.

[@hiflyer000]

It's a pretty underwhelming business for sure. If the 3 robbery per week limit wasn't there and you could grind it like Auto Shop it would be much better. The tow missions should pay more since they are twice as much work as Auto Shop and MC delivery missions.

The pop up message on screen after delivering the cars or just 1 car is the exactly the same for CEO or any associate . It shows the damage each player done to the car just like vehicle cargo, and final payment at the bottom depending how many you sold . That got me confused because is it just the CEO that gets let's say 900 for 3 cars or the associates get the same as well ?

You'll see that there are 4 spaces for stolen cars inside the Salvage Yard. If you didn't complete a robbery before the weekly rotation the game will still let you finish & steal that car before you can start those 3 new robberies for the week.
