Chop Shop is an activity in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, and Saints Row Undercover.[Reference needed] It appears in Saints Row (reboot) as a Criminal Venture operating out of Jim Rob's Garage.
- Find the cars on the list and return them to the chop shop for cash and respect.
- — Chop Shop introduction in Saints Row 2[1]
Overview[]
In Chop Shop, Playa is given a list of cars to steal and deliver. Unlike Hijacking, this activity is not timed, the cars can be any car of the correct type and the cars can be delivered at any time.
After receiving the list of cars, it can be accessed through the activities menu, and a car can be selected so that it appears on the radar when it is nearby.
Vehicles delivered to the Chop Shop are given to the Chop Shop permanently. Vehicles from the Garage do not remain in the Garage.

It breaks down like this; my boostin' days are over, the pigs made sure of that. But that don't mean I don't have an eye for what sells. I got a list tacked up on the wall, you bring me the car, I give you the cash holmes...cool?"

Saints Row 2[]
Map icon
In Saints Row 2, the Chop Shop doesn't have a cutscene when starting the activity, instead there is a phone call.
Unlike the Saints Row Chop Shop activity, vehicles do not need to be customized before delivery. However, there is greater police notoriety than in Saints Row, and when jacking a car on the Chop Shop list, whether the car is on the HUD or not, the driver attempts to flee.
Rewards[]
The rewards aren't individual to each list.
- 1 list: the Buggy.
- 2 lists: unique Saints Combine.
- 3 lists: "Chop Shop" customization item (unknown)[3]
- 5 lists: 75% mechanic discount.
Vehicles[]
- While the GPS automatically shows the nearest Chop Shop, the cars can be delivered to any of them.
- After delivering a car, the same car can be delivered again for $500 each time.
- An additional $10,000 is awarded upon completing a list.

Tips[]
- Using reference materials to hunt for the vehicles in advance greatly eases the activity.
- While vehicles are permanently removed from the garage upon delivery, it is still useful to store them there if it cannot handle threats spawned by ensuing notoriety (I.E. Ambulance/Longhauler), since from there they can be repaired, and retrieving one from the garage does not attract notoriety.
- Driving through a Forgive and Forget is another option, but Playa must not leave and re-enter the vehicle lest they re-acquire any unwanted attention.
- The Insurance Fraud diversion causes many of the listed vehicles to spawn, and some vehicles can be conveniently spawned by calling Phone Numbers.
- Go to the pause menu, go to activities, choose Chop Shop, and choose the list. Choose which car you're going to hunt and select it. From then on, on the top left of the screen is a handy reminder of the name of the car, what the car looks like, and where it's located. It'll remain until the car is dropped off at the chop shop or it is deselected.
- With the reminder activated, head over to the centre of the district where the car is found. Don't move, just park on the pavement and wait in your car. Eventually, on the mini map you'll see a small yellow car.
- The Police Notoriety is equal to the rarity to the car - the highest notoriety given is 3 stars.
- Try not to hijack target vehicles, as tend to escape before they could be taken. A workaround is to promptly kill the driver or force it into a tight spot so it could be taken freely. Sometimes, merely damaging the vehicle is enough to force its operator out.
Trivia[]
- In Saints Row some civilians randomly say "Dennis is in way over his head with Wong."
- In Saints Row 2, all Chop Shop icons and markers are absent after loading a save file. Playing a mission/Activity/Diversion, however, makes them reappear.
- The Brady game guide for Saints Row 2 incorrectly lists a "75% Vehicle Store Discount" for completing 3 lists.
- It is possible to access Shaundi's list before having met Shaundi.[8]
