How to make money from an Auto Shop?
Buying an Auto Shop opens up Auto Shop contracts to players. These are essentially mini-heists with smaller payouts and less tedious setups. However, the payout from them is quite lucrative considering the time invested. These contracts pay anywhere from $170,000 to $375,000:
- The Bank Contract – $178,000
- The Data Contract – $170,000
- The Superdollar Deal – $185,000
- The Prison Contract – $175,000
- The Agency Deal – $182,000
- The E.C.U Job – $172,000
- The Lost Contract – $180,000
- The Union Depository Contract – $300,000 – $375,000
These contracts rotate in and out, prompting players to frequently check the contract board in the Auto Shop. Aside from Contracts, players also get access to Exotic Exports. These are cars available in the open world that players can deliver to the docks for money. Every real 24 hours, 10 cars will spawn that players can deliver for a total of around $250,000.
Aside from unlocking paints, having an Auto Shop allows GTA Online players to customize and deliver customer vehicles. After speccing out a car as per the customer’s request, players can either deliver it themselves or assign staff to deliver the car. This involves a small investment of $20,000 – $35,000 for a payout of around $50,000. Delivering cars via staff increases the chance of damage, leading to a smaller payout.
