How to make a custom vehicle in GTA 6

Can you make a custom vehicle in GTA 6?

In some form, yes: Rockstar has named places that change vehicles. What it hasn’t published is a how-to, so we can’t verify any step-by-step guide before launch. This page sticks to what is known, and says where that stops.

Our car customization answer has the full source trail. Here is the practical version.

Which mod shops has Rockstar named?

Two shops and one mod kit, all on Rockstar’s editions page. Rideout Customs Mod Shop is described as turning vanilla vehicles into showpieces with interiors, rims and “donk stylings”. One-Eyed Willie’s Mod Shop, in Lake Leonida, is billed as an off-road and hand-painted specialist. The Ganado Retro Build adds exclusive mods to Jason’s Vapid Ganado pickup.

All three are listed for the Ultimate Edition and not the Standard Edition, and Rockstar’s GTA VI page says both shops are only open with the Ultimate Edition. So check what the editions include before assuming a Standard Edition copy gets them. Rockstar hasn’t said whether the Standard Edition has any mod shop of its own. Our pages on Rideout Customs and One-Eyed Willie’s collect the details.

What do the images show, and what do previews say?

Rockstar’s images show a gold hi-riser on custom rims and mechanics at work in a shop. That is shown, not explained: it proves the places exist, not that there is a tuning menu or how it behaves.

Previews add a little, second-hand. VICE’s roundup of creator previews says each mod shop has its own specialty, that most handle basic upgrades, and that some options are only offered at certain locations. It also says Pay ‘n’ Spray garages return, for repairs and a change of base color. Those are reported details, and they come with no menu, part list or price.

How did GTA V handle it?

In GTA V (2013), Los Santos Customs was the mod shop. Grand Theft Wiki describes it as a garage for aesthetic and mechanical upgrades, with four locations, that supports all motorcycles and most cars and vans. It replaced the Pay ‘n’ Spray garages of earlier games.

That is history, and an expectation to hold loosely. Nothing we have read says GTA 6 copies it.

What hasn’t Rockstar said?

Rockstar hasn’t said what mods cost, whether motorcycles can be modified, or whether a modified vehicle can be stored. Its GTA VI and editions pages don’t mention engines, brakes or other performance parts. GamesRadar+ quoted a “wide selection of artistic and performance-based vehicle mods” in June 2026, but we couldn’t find that phrase on Rockstar’s pages on November 14, so we treat it as reported.

We have also found nothing from Rockstar about building a vehicle from nothing, and we won’t assume it is possible. Mods made by players are a different subject, covered in our note on mod support.

What we will test after launch

We will check whether a mod shop is open to Standard Edition players, which vehicle types it accepts, what each change costs, whether anything affects handling, and whether a modded vehicle stays in your garage. We will replace this page with real steps once we have done it ourselves.
