Auto Shops are purchasable properties in Grand Theft Auto Online added in the Los Santos Tuners update.

Description
Auto Shops are vehicle repair and customization shops. They may be personalized with several additions, similar to most functional properties.
Players can choose from five auto shops available from Maze Bank Foreclosures, after they meet Mimi at the LS Car Meet. Shops can be purchased without prior membership of the LS Car Meet, and membership is available as an option in the purchase of the shop.

Upon entry, the Online protagonist takes a quick look around the shop floor, finding an abandoned open-end wrench on the floor and twirling it, heads up the stairs to the mezzanine. Kenny Dixon Jr. and Sessanta then enter, pleased with the space but not seeing their new business partner, begin flirting heavily until the amused player announces their presence by ringing the wrench on the steel stair railing.
Heading upstairs and recalling meeting the player at the LS Car Meet, Sessanta express doubt that their new partner looks much like a driver. Kenny explains how he watched Sessanta do impressive engine work on a V6 and an inline 8, and also trusts her first impression with people: the player will need to impress the pair and they just so happen to have the perfect job. The player is required to complete the setup mission Setup: Impounded Car, which involves retrieving Sessanta's Tailgater S, that she was driving at the meet, from the police and bring it back to the shop. Players must be registered as a VIP, Organization CEO or MC Club President to activate the setup job, although a Public Free Mode Lobby is not required. If the player is the driver they claim to be it should be easy, but if not, the two will just take their business elsewhere.
Once the car is secured and delivered, after another cutscene, the player needs to examine the Contracts Job Board (but does not need to immediately undertake a Contract) before the property becomes fully functional, with access to all features and customizations bought by the player upon purchasing the property.
Shop Floor
The main work area where customer cars are delivered over time, which are placed in a hydraulic lift near the entrance (plus a second one if the player bought it). Near the stairs, there is a small table that the player can interact with to replenish their snacks from a bowl, as well as a free Race and Chase arcade game if the player logged in during the week Los Santos Tuners came out, which can be changed through the property management on the Interaction Menu. There is an inaccessible spray paint booth on the right where Sessanta's or Lil' Dee's cars (or the Barrage from the Bunker scopeout in The Data Contract) are stored.
Workshop
A small workshop area with no interactivity. Various tools and toolboxes are seen along with vehicle parts. Houses the optional second customer vehicle lift if it is purchased.
Garage
A 10-car garage is provided for storage of the player's Personal Vehicles to the left of the work area, with the option for customization in a personal shop with a reduced price for all items, as well as free classic paintjobs and Crew emblems/colors. As usual, a Vehicle Management Corona provides access to a keypad which can be used for rearranging personal vehicle parking spaces.
Mezzanine
Upstairs there is a recreational area where the players can sit or buy cans from the vending machine near the stairs. There are two small rooms to the right of the stairs; the owner's personal quarters (if purchased - a storeroom otherwise) and a small office where one can use a laptop or the security cameras showing multiple views of the inside and outside entrance to the building. The Exotic Exports blackboard is between the two rooms.
In the corner of the mezzanine, there is a 
Job Board for Contracts, which displays the type of job and the potential rewards.
Daily Fees
Owning an auto shop will incur a standard daily fee of $250.

Legitimate repair business
Players will occasionally be tasked with repairing and modifying customer cars to their requested specification. Players can then choose to deliver the modified car back to the customer themselves, or send shop staff to do the delivery for them to earn reduced rewards.
Mod Shop
Players can modify their own vehicles in their Auto Shop. Classic and Crew paint is free, and other modifications have a 5% discount. They can drive and modify their vehicle only if their garage is not full, otherwise they will need to replace a car in their garage or drive into another player's auto shop.
All player-owned Auto Shops can be accessed by other players, although players can restrict access via the interaction menu. Players can repair and customize their vehicles in another players Auto Shop. Members of the shop owner's Organizations or Motorcycle Clubs, or their friends and crew members get their damage repairs for free.
Contracts
Contracts are a series of illegal jobs consisting of two preparations and the main job, which are executed in a similar manner to heists. These jobs consist of freemode preparations and the finale, which can only be played with either any of the vehicles featured from the update, or Sessanta's Tailgater S.
Exotic Exports
An import/export board will be available after the player completes their first contract, where ten vehicles are listed to be stolen and delivered to the port for monetary rewards. These cars are marked with a blue dot icon on the map, located in random areas. The list resets every 24 hours[citation/verification needed].

Locations
| Auto Shops | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto Shop Location | Image | In-game description | Price | |
| Mission Row |  |
We recommend investing in personal quarters to avoid the commute through your "characterful" neighborhood. Law abiding business owners will be pleased to know the police station is within screaming distance. You are law abiding, right? | $1,670,000 | |
| Strawberry |  |
"Charming, for Strawberry", "seared into my memory", "I'm physically stunned" are just some of the phrases that appeared on the Flint Autos property evaluation. | $1,705,000 | |
| Rancho |  |
It's not central, it's not safe, and it's not sanitary. But it's the closest mod shop to the LSCM in all of San Andreas. If you're looking to set up shop next to your target demographic, this right here is your stop. | $1,750,000 | |
| Burton |  |
With good connections to the main roads nearby, this little auto shop packs a lot of potential. It also just happens to be in one of the state's trendiest commercial centers, not that you will have any views of the outside world. Trust us, it's better that way. | $1,830,000 | |
| La Mesa |  |
This property boasts immediate access to the highway, which is ideal for desperate drivers with damaged cars who seek shelter from the chaos of La Mesa, or desperate drivers with damaged cars who are responsible for the chaos in La Mesa. | $1,920,000 | |
