History
Los Santos Customs replaces the Pay 'n' Spray shops from previous Grand Theft Auto titles and is similar to TransFender garages from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Just like those previous shops with the same function in older titles, players can enter Los Santos Customs to lose their wanted levels, provided they are not spotted by police while approaching the garage.
Inspiration
Los Santos Customs is inspired by the real-life West Coast Customs located in Burbank, California. West Coast Customs was involved in a GTA V promotional event where they recreated the Bravado Banshee car in real life.
Features
GTA V vs GTA Online
In Grand Theft Auto Online, Los Santos Customs functions similarly to its single-player counterpart but also acts as a chop shop for selling stolen or unwanted vehicles. Here, players can sell one vehicle per in-game day (48 real-time minutes).
Any vehicles with a retail value of and below $100,000 can be stolen and sold unless marked as "too hot." Legally purchased vehicles can also be sold but return only 60% of their purchase price plus 50% of customizations. You can also sell pre-modified vehicles found in-game for higher values unless it's classified as "too hot."
*Note: Players cannot buy Los Santos Customs in GTA Online.
