The vehicles that can be upgraded in Benny's Original Motor Works garage in Grand Theft Auto Online are a specific list of lowriders and other tuner cars. Essentially, if a car is eligible, you'll see a special "Benny's" icon on it when you drive near the garage in Strawberry, Los Santos. The upgrade process transforms these standard vehicles into highly customized versions with unique body kits, interiors, and performance enhancements.
The most famous vehicles for Benny's are the classic lowriders, which are central to the lowrider culture scene in the game. These include models like the Albany Primo, Declasse Voodoo, and the Willard Faction. However, the list also extends to modern sports cars and muscle cars, such as the Annis Elegy Retro Custom (which becomes a Nissan Skyline GT-R R32) and the Bravado Banshee (which can be turned into a high-performance roadster).
The key feature of a Benny's upgrade is the requirement of a significant initial investment. You must first purchase the base car, then buy it into the garage, and finally pay a large sum (often over half a million GTA$) to begin the customization process. This unlocks a vast array of exclusive options not available at Los Santos Customs.
Here is a sample of some popular Benny's vehicles and their upgrade costs:
| Vehicle Name | Base Model | Benny's Upgrade Cost (GTA$) | Notable Custom Version |
|---|
| Vapid Slamvan | Slamvan | $1,295,000 | Slamvan Custom |
| Annis Elegy RH8 | Elegy RH8 | $904,000 | Elegy Retro Custom |
| Bravado Banshee | Banshee | $735,000 | Banshee 900R |
| Declasse Sabre Turbo | Sabre Turbo | $485,000 | Sabre Turbo Custom |
| Karin Sultan | Sultan | $795,000 | Sultan RS |

| Albany Buccaneer | Buccaneer | $585,000 | Buccaneer Custom |
| Declasse Voodoo | Voodoo | $62,000 | Voodoo Custom |
In short, Benny's Garage isn't for every car; it's a premium service for a curated list of vehicles, allowing you to create some of the most unique and personalized rides in GTA Online, heavily focused on lowrider and JDM tuner cultures.
