Auto Shop Customer Repair and Delivery Tips

Customers will simply turn up. There appears to be nothing you can do to bring them in.

When you get close, exotic automobiles will appear on your map. The Cayo Perico guard, movie prop, and drug vehicles are similar. Steal them and drive them to the docks to leave a marker.

Wut?

 

That literally has nothing to do with what you quoted. 

 

Back on topic, staff delivery is 50/50 bonus or damage if I choose to +1 the engine tunes or not put stupid wheels on the car.

 

This averages out to be equal to delivering the cars modded as requested by myself.

If you come out of the shop and see a 4.79 miles to delivery for the Grapeseed customer, just get out & blow it up. Then go back into your shop to try again to get a closer delivery address.

I do the same thing. And once you mod it, you don't have to re-mod it after blowing it up. Just drive it away.

If you own the standard Auto Shop without a second Car Lift upgrade, a customer car could take up to 48 minutes to show up at your shop.

 

That value is halved to 24 minutes by owning a second Car Lift upgrade.

 

However, things become more complicated when you factor in RNG into the formula. Once 48 or 24 minutes elapses, RNG flips a coin (50% chance) and decide whether you receive a customer car or not. If you don't, the coin is flipped again after 24 or 48 minutes. If you do, then there's a timer randomized between 0 (instantly) to 10 minutes. Once that timer expires, you receive the customer car.

 

In terms of determining the customer car tier, RNG simply chooses a single vehicle out of 40 vehicles and based on the model the tier is assigned.

Does anyone have a list of the 40 vehicles?

My brother and I just played for 3 hours and in that time I only got one auto shop job, which popped up right after an auto shop prep mission, and that was within the first 30 minutes of being on.

 

Very frustrating.

Hey past Jamwes, did you know the cars are listed on the wiki? https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Auto_Shop_Service

It seems finicky. Sometimes you get cars regularly. Sometimes it takes forever. Sometimes cars are delivered but you don't get a call about them. The timer for giving cars must be weird with some weird variables.

what has been working for me to always have cars show up in your autoshop is to go afk in your CEO office bed or sitting down. I usually do this to not be kicked when i dont want to necessarily grind or play the game for the time being. So far its worked out for me because before I would spend hours playing and no cars would get delivered to my autoshop garage but now that i have been doing the afk method, 30 min to an hour that passes I always have 2 cars ready to go when i come back to the game. Just over the week Ive managed to get most of the cars to sell because I wanted to see if i could possibly sell each one and its been tideous to say the least haha, especially when getting the same car or cars 3-4 times in a row lol but Im only in need of 4 which is the club, vamos, sc1, and the V-STR. (SC1 will not show up for the life of me smh lol) Im still going to see if this week i get these 4 and ill stop doing them after that.  oh and side note, Im not sure if this is a bug but when i get the mechanics to deliver the cars and go afk right after, I get full payment and no text about them crashing haha so win win!

Do you still get car meet rep though?

From what I can tell yes, you still get car rep. I haven't thoroughly checked but I am sure it still grants us car rep. Since I posted, I have been able to get the SC1 &  Vamos from the cars I haven't gotten yet so Im still missing the raiden, vstr and club. I've been repeating this afk method since double rep week last week and every time i go to the shop 2 cars are on both stations ready to go. Sometimes I would lose track of time, and when I get to the autoshop, there would be at least one car but waiting for at least an hour almost assures that 2 cars will be there. It could be faster bc sometimes I have gotten back to back text from sessanta after delivering both cars so there is a bit of luck at times too.

What is the point of this?   Why not just let a new car come into the shop every 24-48 minutes?  I mean we can currently make 80k every 20 minutes with import/export and autoshop sales are less so why add in this 50% chance nonsense too?

I'm with Kitty, I've just been trashing their cars on purpose, hoping that they will stop junking up my shop with them. The payout is laughable.

If it doesn't get crashed down to $0 by the time I get there, I stop just outside and let rip with my mini-gun.

I've got a Spectre and a something that I've modified to my taste and which will stay there forever looking pretty. They're my cars now, douchebag.

Well, I'm only delivering them because I want the LSCM rep points so I can unlock the Dominator ASP trade price.

After than, I'm done with them.

I see your point, but all these tuner cars were already on the prize ride list 2 times, so it made absolutely no sense to unlock any trade price.

 

maybe it changed now...
