Los Santos is doing that thing again where the whole city feels like it's running on octane. From January 22 to January 28, 2026, Rockstar's "Vehicle Special" week leans hard into Auto Shop life, quick missions, and easy upgrades, and you'll feel it the minute you load in. If you've been chasing faster ways to stack GTA 5 Money without turning the game into a second job, this is one of those weeks where the bonuses actually match the hype.
Freebies and boosted payouts
Start with the simple win: just playing this week unlocks the "Mosh Mosh" livery for the Karin Everon RS, so you can give that tough SUV a new look without spending a cent. The real reason people are logging on, though, is the cash flow. Madrazo Hits are paying triple GTA$ and RP, and that's huge because they're short, punchy, and you can knock them out back-to-back without a ton of setup. If you want more chaos, the Community Combat Series is also on 3x, so it's a good excuse to jump into modes you normally ignore and still walk away with something worth your time.
Auto Shop week done the smart way
The Weekly Challenge is basically built to push you into the same loop: complete three Auto Shop Client Jobs and you'll bag a GTA$100,000 bonus. And since Auto Shop properties are 40% off, it's one of the rare times buying in doesn't feel like you're lighting money on fire. Pick a shop location you'll actually use, run the jobs, then keep rolling while the week's hot. Transform Races are paying double too, which is nice when you want a break from grinding contracts, and even Document Forgery sell missions are doubled—normally people clown on that business, but 2x can change the maths fast.
Showrooms, prizes, and garage moves
If you're more into collecting than sweating missions, the vehicle rotation is worth a lap. Premium Deluxe Motorsport is showing off rides like the Karin Everon RS and the Överflöd Entity XF, and yeah, the XF still feels good when you open it up on the freeway. Over at the Diamond Casino, the Lucky Wheel podium car is the Vapid FMJ, so it's absolutely worth your daily spin. Want a car you actually earn. Place top five in an LS Car Meet Series race for two days in a row and the Pegassi Tempesta is yours, no luck required.
Discounts and quick wins
Before you blow your bankroll, check the sales: Auto Shops and Document Forgery offices are 40% off, and a few tempting rides—like the Vapid Firebolt ASP and the Pfister 811—are sitting at 30% off. Mix that with Salvage Yard Robberies if you're in the mood for variety, or knock out the "Up Chiliad" Time Trial if you like chasing clean runs and tight par times. And if you're trying to top up fast for a purchase you don't want to wait on, plenty of players use RSVSR to grab game currency and items quickly, then spend the week actually driving instead of endlessly budgeting, which fits the whole vehicle-first vibe this event's going for.
