In this GTA Online Auto Shop guide, we’ll explain how you can buy an Auto Shop, so you can access the new Los Santos Car Meets missions, and take advantage of all of the benefits that come from owning your own garage.
Buying an Auto Shop in GTA Online
First off, head to the LS Car Meet, located in Cypres Flats and marked with a stylish ‘LS’ logo on your map. Once you arrive, head inside and speak to BB and Pau.
After doing this, you’ll then be able to buy an Auto Shop. To do this, head to the Maze Bank Foreclosures on your phone. You’ll then be able to buy an Auto Shop starting from GTA$1,670,000. You’ll also need to purchase the LS Car Meet Membership which costs GTA$50,000.
We’ve included a list of all GTA Online Auto Shops with their prices below:

How to Get a GTA Online Auto Shop for Free

What Auto Shops Do?
Once you’ve bought an Auto Shop in GTA Online, you can head to the upstairs of it to take on new missions similar to Heists. You’ll also earn income from owning an Auto Shop, but it’s unclear exactly how much at the time of writing.
Alongside a steady income, you’ll also have access to an ‘Exotic Exports List’ which tasks you with finding and stealing 10 cars across Los Santos. Steal them all and you’ll get a massive pay-off.
A modding bay is also included in your Auto Shop, allowing you to customize your personal vehicles. Friends can also use it, and you can invest in your Auto Shop to add another car lift, should you choose.
You’ll also get storage for 10 personal vehicles and a cozy little private quarters upstairs where you’ll find a bed, gun locker and wardrobe.
