Under the moniker Red's Auto Components, salvage yards sell auto components for vehicles and scrap yards. Like most useful properties, they can have several additions made to make them uniquely yours. After getting a call from Yusuf Amir, players can select from five salvage yards owned by Maze Bank Foreclosures.
The Salvage Yard business has two main components: the robberies and the tow truck service.
Salvage Yard Robberies are a string of illicit operations carried out similarly to heists, with two stages of preparation and the actual job. These tasks include the final product and free mode setup. Every heist targets a particular vehicle. Every event week, the target vehicle and the nature of the robbery are different.
By hauling "abandoned" or abandoned cars and salvaging them for parts, the Tow Truck Service will enable players to make both active and passive revenue.
Completing Tow Truck Service assignments will boost the Salvage Yard's reputation in addition to the money from sold parts. Like the Nightclubs' Popularity mechanism, having a good reputation can greatly boost daily income, which can reach up to $24,000 every day.
It is important to choose the correct location for your salvage yard to be connected to the majority of the map so you can easily complete the robberies and earn money without having to lose a lot of time.
5. Paleto Bay
This one ends up last on the list for obvious reasons, it's in Paleto Bay. Buying any business in Paleto Bay is bad for business as that place is on the top of the entire map and entirely disconnected from the city. This is precisely why it’s listed as the cheapest option, for $1,620,000. Although all the functions are the same of the business and do not depend on the location, it can get extremely difficult to complete missions and tasks as you will have to travel into the city for them, and making round trips over and over just gets exhausting at one point, especially if you’re playing alone and don’t have any help.
However, if that isn’t a problem for you, you should go for this location as it is the cheapest and allows full customization options for your business.
Why Paleto Bay is great for Salvage Yard:
- Cheapest location
- Allows full customization options
- Perfect for players who like to drive long distances
4. Sandy Shores
Just like the Paleto Bay one, you should not opt for the one available in Sandy Shores. Since most of the missions take place in the city, this option will turn out to be exhausting and tiresome, unless you enjoy that then sure go for it as it only sells for $2,030,000. A big jump from the last option, but with minimal advantage.
Why Sandy Shores is great for Salvage Yard:
- Cheaper option
- Allows full customization like the other options
- For players who like to stay around the desert
3. Murrieta Heights
The top three locations are the ones you should consider, as they are located in the city and will have less travel time when you are doing setups and missions. The one at Murrieta Heights is at number three. It has a rather large entrance but a narrow path to reach your yard.
It also has a fake entrance that can be mistaken for the real entrance and prove to be disadvantageous if you have any heat on you or if a player is trying to mess with you.
Although this location is far from the LSIA where you will travel to quite often, it is connected to the main road that leads you straight to the airport. This property sells for $2,420,000, the cheapest option you can get in the city.
Why Murrieta Heights is great for Salvage Yard:
- The cheapest option in the city
- Allows full customization like the other options
- Grand main entrance
- Connects you to the main road
2. La Puerta
La Puerta lands in the second spot because of its great location. It is the closest one to the LSIA, but has a narrow passage that might make it tricky to tow vehicles inside. It has only one way to enter and exit the yard garage, and the congested path can make it difficult to tow vehicles in and out or to lose cops as it can be a dead end.
Due to its narrow path and a whopping price of $2,690,000, La Puerta lands on the second spot, being the most expensive location but not the ideal one.
Why La Puerta is great for Salvage Yard:
- Closest to the airport
- Connected to the city
- Allows full customization
1. Strawberry
Almost all the businesses located in this location are ideal, as it is entirely in the middle of the map. It has a nice and big location near the main road, where you can fit any vehicle with ease. There are also two other narrow exits that you can use to lose cops easily, as they lead to the main road, so you won't be cornered and can have an escape route if necessary.
As most of the prep missions require reaching the center of the city, Strawberry is the best location for the Salvage Yard. The cost for this location is $2,570,000.
Why Strawberry is great for Salvage Yard:
- Middle of the city
- Great wide passage where any vehicle can fit
- Two exits to use if necessary
- Ideal for prep missions
- Allows full customization
These were all the locations of the Salvage Yard ranked accordingly, hope this list helps you out in choosing the best location for your business.
