How Do You Get a Car Off a Tow Truck in GTA 5?

Grand Theft Auto 5 is an incredibly popular game, with millions of players all over the world. It has become so popular that it has spawned a whole genre of games and a huge range of merchandise.

One of the most popular features in GTA 5 is the ability to steal cars and store them in your own personal garage. However, if you’re unlucky enough to have your car get towed away by the police, there are ways you can get it back.

The first thing you need to do if your car gets towed is to locate it on the police impound lot. If you’re playing on a console or PC, this can be done by using the map to zoom in and out until you see an icon representing the tow truck on the map.

Once you’ve found the location of the tow truck, you can approach it and press a button to open up a menu where you can select “Retrieve Vehicle”.

Next, you will need to pay for your vehicle to be released from impound. The cost will vary depending on how expensive your car was when it was towed away.

After paying, your vehicle will be released from impound and placed back into your garage.

If Your Car Has Been Stolen

Sometimes, thieves may steal vehicles from players in GTA 5 and take them away in their own tow truck. This can happen even if your vehicle is stored in a secure garage. If this happens, there is no way to retrieve your vehicle as it will be gone forever.

How To Prevent Your Vehicle From Being Stolen

To prevent someone from stealing your vehicle in GTA 5, make sure that all doors are locked when leaving it unattended; this includes both driver’s side doors as well as passenger’s side doors. Additionally, make sure that any garages that house vehicles have cameras installed so that they can be monitored at all times.

Conclusion:

Getting a car off a tow truck in GTA 5 is relatively easy if you know what steps to take. First locate the tow truck on the police impound lot before paying for its release from impound. To prevent theft of vehicles, make sure all doors are locked when leaving them unattended as well as installing cameras at any garages housing vehicles.
