"How to unlock Benny's customization in GTA Online" is a common query among players, especially beginners and vehicle enthusiasts. For those wondering, Benny's Original Motor Works is a vehicle workshop where you can customize rides, just like at Los Santos Customs. However, what makes Benny's workshop different is the fact that only certain cars can be customized here. These compatible cars can be turned into their custom variants and then equipped with extra modifications.
Unlocking Benny's in GTA Online is pretty straightforward, but some may require a bit of assistance. So, in this article, we will look at how to unlock Benny's Original Motor Works.
How to unlock Benny's customization in GTA Online: All you need to know
To unlock Benny's in GTA Online, you must first visit the LD icon at the location shown in the image above. Step inside the yellow mission marker here, and contact Lamar Davis over the phone using the prompted button.
Note: There can be two LD icons on your map. To identify the correct one, hover over an icon for a moment, and check if the Lowriders DLC thumbnail appears as shown in the image above.
During the phone call, Lamar will invite you to another location in Strawberry, Los Santos, also marked with LD but with "1" over the icon.
This spot is where Benny's Original Motor Works is located, but it won't be unlocked just yet. You will first have to step inside the yellow mission marker at this new location to trigger a cutscene, which will be followed by a mission requiring three more players.
However, you do not need to complete this mission to unlock Benny's in GTA Online. Once at the match-making screen for the mission, press the button indicated in the bottom right corner of the screen for "Quit", and leave the mission.
You will then be returned to your session, and Benny's Original Motor Works will get unlocked at the same location in Strawberry, Los Santos. The image below shows the notification you will get after its unlocking, along with the icon with which the workshop will be marked on the map:
Now, simply drive up to the garage door with GTA Online vehicles compatible with Benny's customizations to access the workshop.
