To start, it is very important to clarify that the interiors of all five of the Auto Shops are identical and have the exact same opportunities for customization. This means that Grand Theft Auto Online players do not need to consider this aspect of the Auto Shops at all when determining which one to purchase, as there are no differences between them. While this may be slightly disappointing to those fans that had hoped for a great deal of variety across these properties, it at least makes it fairly simple to pick an Auto Shop to buy.

With that established, one of the primary things to think about when selecting an Auto Shop is their costs, as they are all priced slightly differently. For those players that are looking to save some GTA$, the cheapest option is perhaps the best, and it is Mission Row at a cost of $1,670,000 without any special customizations. Still, this is undoubtedly a significant amount of money, and the following list shows how it stacks up against the other Auto Shop properties that are available:
Mission Row: $1,670,000 Strawberry: $1,705,000 Rancho: $1,750,000 Burton: $1,830,000 La Mesa: $1,920,000
If money is of no object to a player, then an Auto Shop’s location and façade should be considered. Fans will need to decide for themselves which of these expensive properties in Grand Theft Auto Online aligns most closely with their preferences, and that can be done by examining the Auto Shops through Maze Bank Foreclosures. Indeed, players can get a good look at each Auto Shop’s exterior and its position on the map simply by going online.
Once a player has gone over all of these factors, made their decision, and bought an Auto Shop in GTA Online’s Los Santos Tuners update, they should make sure to go visit the property. This action will ultimately give fans access to contracts that can be initiated from the upstairs’ office and some additional perks. Those benefits include mechanics, a modding bay, and vehicle storage, which players can use to work on their personal cars as well as the cars of their customers.
GTA Online is available on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions in development.
