Salvage Yards were added to the list of GTA Online businesses in December 2023 as part of The Chop Shop DLC. While there are countless businesses to choose from in the game, going for only the most profitable ones is the best approach considering the return on investment factor. If you are interested in getting into the Salvage Yard business, then go ahead without worrying as it is quite profitable.

Not only does this establishment offer multiple ways to earn an income, but incorporates missions that are quite fun to play as well. For those wanting to learn more, here is a closer look at the Salvage Yard business in GTA Online in 2024.

As mentioned, GTA Online Salvage Yards offer multiple ways to earn an income. The most profitable of them are Salvage Yard Robberies. These jobs are like heists, each including some setup missions and an adventurous finale. Although the payout isn't close to a million dollars, you will get well over $200,000 by selling a vehicle stolen in a Salvage Yard Robbery.

Salvaging it is also an option, but the former is generally more profitable. Note that only three Robberies can be completed in a week, with a fresh set being introduced with every GTA Online weekly update. However, all of them can result in a combined payout that is close to a million dollars.

Additionally, Rockstar Games will make one out of the three available GTA Online Salvage Yard vehicles claimable for a negligible fee. Unfortunately, this happens very rarely and has only been done once as of this writing.

Other money makers of the Salvage Yard business include the wall safe, which gets filled passively, and Tow Truck Services. This is a mission wherein you will have to tow a marked vehicle back to this business. They will usually pay between $30,000 and $40,000; that too after 96 minutes.

That said, buying the Staff upgrade for your Salvage Yard will reduce that to 48 minutes. Unlocking Tow Truck Services itself requires purchasing the Tow Truck upgrade.
