Stranded in Los Santos? Don't Panic, Get Mechanic on the Hotline!
Ah, the open world of Los Santos. Palm trees, sunshine, and the nagging suspicion you've somehow gotten yourself wedged between a taco stand and a very disgruntled looking chihuahua. Fear not, fellow adventurer, for even the most geographically challenged among us can be reunited with their trusty (or not-so-trusty) steed. This guide will unveil the secrets of car delivery in GTA 5, because who needs AAA when you have a mechanic with questionable taste in ringtones?
How To Get Your Car Delivered In GTA 5 |
Calling in the Cavalry (or Grease Monkey)
There are two main ways to get your car delivered in GTA 5, both equally fantastic and free of that awkward moment where you have to explain to a tow truck driver why your car is currently dangling from the Ferris wheel.
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.![]()
Method 1: The Mechanic's Menu
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.![]()
-
Bring up the Interaction Menu: Think of it as your digital Swiss Army knife, only with less cheese and a higher chance of summoning a monster truck. On consoles, hold down the touchpad or the "M" key on PC.
-
Navigate to the "Vehicles" Tab: This is where the rubber meets the road... metaphorically speaking. Because you're probably not using actual rubber on these roads after all the mayhem you've caused.
-
Select "Request Personal Vehicle": Voila! A sparkly red button promising automotive salvation. Just don't blame us if your mechanic shows up in a clown car instead.
Method 2: Mechanic on Speed Dial (Well, Almost)
Tip: Read carefully — skimming skips meaning.![]()
-
Open your Phone: Because pigeons are so last season.
-
Contacts: Ah, the rolodex of the digital age. Find your ever-reliable (or at least moderately reliable) mechanic.
-
Give them a Buzz: Just make sure you've settled your outstanding tab first. Nobody likes a deadbeat, not even mechanics with questionable taste in ringtones.
Important Note: Whichever method you choose, your mechanic will deliver your most recently used ride. So ditch that stolen police car before you hit redial!
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.![]()
Delivery with a Side of Shenanigans
There are a few limitations to this magical car delivery service.
-
Patience is a Virtue (Especially in Los Santos): Don't expect your car to materialize like a Jackrabbit out of a magician's hat. It might take a minute (or five) for your mechanic to wrangle your chariot and get it road-worthy.
-
Location, Location, Location: Don't try to request a car delivery from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. Your mechanic might be great, but they're not miracle workers (although they do have a surprising knack for hotwiring boats).
-
The Great Car Caper (Don't Be That Guy): This service is for your personal vehicles, not every random car you see on the street. Unless you're into confusing mechanics and starting international incidents, stick to your own garage.
There you have it! With these handy dandy tips, you'll never be stranded in Los Santos again (or at least, not for car-related reasons). Now get out there, explore, wreak havoc responsibly, and for the love of all things holy, try not to get your car stuck on the Ferris wheel again.
