The Salvage Yard runs vehicle robberies: three are on offer each week, paying from $260,000 to $405,000 plus up to $50,000 for bonus challenges. You can keep the car or salvage it for the cash.

Its safe fills from the tow truck service. Towing about four cars per in-game day keeps it at the top rate of around $24,000 a day, and the safe holds $100,000, or $250,000 with the wall safe upgrade. The Staff upgrade halves how long salvaging takes.

The cheapest yard is Paleto Bay at $1,620,000; Strawberry is the usual pick for being central.
