You can usually store cars whenever you wish, so long as the car isn't required for a mission. Under certain circumstances you may have to pay a $500 fee to recover a car that's been lost or destroyed. If you invest any money in a car, it becomes yours permanently unless you delete it from your garage - you can lose the car, destroy it, drive it off a cliff into the river, etc, and it will always reappear in your garage shortly afterwards. Rim Jobs locations can't be used if you have a wanted level, unlike crib garages which work regardless of your wanted level.
You'll be taken to a Rim Jobs location early in one of the plot missions, but they are located across the city and are unlocked from the start. This just allows you to lose your wanted level if you enter it, and gives you a 'periodic income' boost. You can buy Rim Jobs locations, but this is not required to store cars or access your garage. Some of the cribs have helipads, and these store air vehicles such as choppers, and later. Rim Jobs are green icons with wrenches on them.Īt the start of the game, you'll only have access to Shaundi's Ex's Loft as a crib, but complete more story missions and more will open up to you (as Ashley list indicates).
Cribs show up as little house icons on a yellow background.
You can store cars in the garage at any crib, and at any Rim Jobs.
