Is the auto shop worth it?

[Star7green]

Is buying the Auto shop worth it? I don't want to buy it and barely use it because i hate the processes. I bought the sub only to be hit with a stealth mission i don't want to do and having done the mission finale with someone else the mission is hard, so all i got out of it was free scuba gear and a new notification to annoy me.

I wouldn't prioritize the Auto Shop if there's other investments you're looking at to make money and build your criminal empire, but I have to confess I'm kind of bewildered about your take on the sub. There's no denying that learning the Cayo Perico heist takes time and patience, but it has completely changed GTA Online in terms of making earning really good money relatively easy in comparison to how things used to be, and cherry on top you can do it staying safely out of reach to the plague of cheater trash in public lobbies.

No really so far.

If you only like grinding, not really. Auto Shop gives you discount for customizing cars and more garage space. Upkeep is around 150 dollars and as far as I've seen, only new customer will create a new notification.

The auto shop job pays around 20k for a few minutes work while the contract pays about 160k-180k per contract (around 50k-60k if you're not the host) but is overall pretty fun with the tuner car restriction

Depends... if you hope to get good money from this I'd say no, it has some big issues.

#1 You get a small discount when tuning your cars because you have your own autoshop now. "Of course" (??) you still can't steal high end cars even though you have your own autoshop now (you don't get a warning anymore, the door simply refuses to open).

#2 The missions / robberies are plain out easy, but... you don't get to use your own cars (you can work around this) and you also don't get to use your own weapons (this is the only thing that makes the missions more difficult).

For me #2 is a huge frustration and why I'm not gonna bother with that nonsense.

The payout is decent, but doing import/export will be a lot more satisfying IMO.

#3 You get to do "custom orders". This is just... weird. You get a car which you need to service ("customize") according to the customer wishlist. Of course... said list is no where to be found so you have to custom the car based on impressions. Give it the same color, give it the overall same looks etc. If you succeed you can make some minor cash, if you add too much changes though you can easily loose 20 - 30k "just like that".

So much fun!

No, if you hope for good payment then this is not the right DLC, keep doing Cayo Perico.

If you hope for fun alternative missions.... the robbery setups can be fun but... IMO it's a frustrating mess that's better avoided.

Opinion ..
It's not a money maker like the other Businesses. You could try and Grind it but I just don't think it would ever get anywhere near the top Businesses. But if your a successful GTA5 Player that wants activities that can be done in-Lobby with friends it is maybe the best for that. If you are a GTA5 Car enthusiast it offers a Garage that combines the Beenies upgrades with some of the Arena ones (I.E. the colored head lights) and a well lit place to store 10 of your favorites. Maybe "Servicing Cars" won't make you rich, but if you like to customize Cars it gives you the chance to do it without buying them and get creative. I would have to say I think I could make more with the Import Export in a straight up grind off. The Heist in the Auto Shop CAN be done Solo .. but they are so much easier and doable with a Partner ...
I.E
The First one with the MOC can be done solo with a driver AND shooter it's a snap.
The Second one placing the 6 jammers ... CAN be done Solo or darn near ... but with 2 it's a slam dunk.
The Challenges at the meet ... serious fun for two GTA5 Race nuts that just want to have some fun.
In the end there are many ways now to make money in game ... but there where not a lot of in-lobby things to do that where FUN ... now after you've done the Cayo Heist till your bored with it, your just killing time for your Businesses to produce. You've got 2 of everything and have a good GTA5 $$$ cushion ... the Auto Shop gives you things to do in lobby.

looks cool depending on what walls u got, nothing else seems to be worth it at all besides the discount on customization and no level locked customization

[MonK]

only worth it if you need more garage space :P
