The Salvage Yard is a property in GTA Online that functions as a passive income business. Once purchased, it automatically generates cash by salvaging vehicles that are stored in its garage. Players can also steal specific vehicles through Salvage Yard Robberies, which are missions that yield higher payouts.
To start, you buy a Salvage Yard from the Maze Bank Foreclosures website. There are three locations: Murrieta Heights, La Mesa, and Davis. The yard has a garage that can hold up to 10 vehicles for salvaging. Vehicles are collected over time by your staff, and you can also manually deliver stolen cars to speed up the process.
The Salvage Yard generates income passively, but the rate depends on the number of vehicles stored. Each vehicle takes about 48 minutes to be fully salvaged, and you can store up to 10. The maximum passive income per day is capped at around $24,000 (prices/payouts change with updates - check in-game).
Additionally, the Salvage Yard unlocks Salvage Yard Robberies, which are heist-like missions with higher payouts. These are available once you own the business and can be started from the interaction menu. The robberies involve stealing high-value vehicles and can earn you $200,000-$400,000 per mission, depending on difficulty and bonuses.
Overall, the Salvage Yard is a decent passive income source, but its main value comes from the robbery missions. It's best for solo players looking for a low-maintenance business with occasional high-reward activities.
