Stupid vice city question

I know its late and I probably shouldn't even have to ask this question, but where do you bring the stolen cars in vice city? I've been playing a few days and can't find the garage.

Thanks

Been a while since I played Vice City, but I know one of the locations is the auto dealership that is on the western island. It's just north of the airport. The auto dealership has one garage for stolen cars, and another right next to it that you can go into and activate races. Another garage can be used to save your cars.

I can't recall if that's the *only* place you bring stolen cars, but I think it might be. Give it a shot.

I'm pretty sure it is the only place. After you complete the lists, you'll unlock four different special cars, and then the dealership will become an asset which will produce money for you. 9000 maximum I believe.

damn_skippy,

There's at least two different areas for armor and health: in the room on your immediate right as you enter the mansion and all the way down at the bottom on the staircase. Those help a great deal.

The strategy that worked for me was, as the scene finds you standing atop the staircase, running up to the right staircase, then right and up the stairs to the roof. You might get hit a few times running up the stairs, but it's not bad if you're at 100% health and armour. When you get to the roof, run to the left and up the slope so you're close to the helicopter and no one can hit you. Get health, then use some grenades to kill off the gunmen. I like to run all the way down those stairs then and get more health and armor. Then I climb back up and take the first (second?) doorway to the ground level of the mansion, shoot a bunch of people and run straight to the room w/ more health and armor. Then I like to walk up to the "main room" w/ Sonny and kill at least one or two gunmen while running back up the upper staircase I took to get up to the roof. Instead of running up to the roof, though, I run back down the stairs where the health and armor have magically reappeared. Then I keep retracing my steps until the room is unguarded. Make sense?

Thanks for the replies. I do believe that the car shop is exactly what I was looking for. Can't really be an auto thief without a place to bring the autos can I.

Jack a tank and park it in the mansion's front garage before you take the mission. When the time is right, go get it and drive up the mansion's front steps, firing repeatedly. Works every time

Remember, you have to buy the car dealership from Lawrence Taylor before you take the cars there.

Is that the last mission? That's a toughie, I could never beat it without cheats.

It's technically the last mission, but your can continue playing after the credits. I even noticed some melee icons I missed were still around after I "solved" it.
