Salvage Yard Robberies

Overview

Salvage Yard Robberies are heist-style jobs from GTA Online's The Chop Shop update, released in December 2023. Working with Jamal Amir, the player picks a weekly target vehicle, scopes it out, prepares, and then steals it. Once stolen, the car can be sold for its full value or scrapped at the Salvage Yard for parts.

Setup missions

1. Scope out – find the target vehicle and gather information about its location.
2. Preparation – get the equipment, vehicles or disguises needed for the robbery.
3. Finale – steal the target vehicle and bring it back to the Salvage Yard.

Approaches

Each week there are three robberies, and each has a different target and story, such as the Cargo Ship, the Gangbanger and the Podium robberies. Some finales can be done quietly or loudly.

Crew and tips

• Robberies can be played with one to four players.
• Check the target list each week; values change, so choose the best paying car.
• Staff upgrades at the Salvage Yard speed up dismantling and add income.

Payout

The value depends on the vehicle; sale values range roughly from $251,000 to $402,000. The leader keeps most of the take, while the crew gets a smaller cut.
