Mission walkthrough

  1. Return to the factory phone

    After The Crook, visit the unmarked phone near Joey’s garage during its 09:00–19:00 calling hours. Take the supplied Perennial for this job. Using the mission vehicle keeps the pickup and the later evidence-cleanup objective connected.

  2. Collect both thieves

    Drive to the pickup marker and wait until both passengers have entered. Do not accelerate when only the first door closes. Return directly to Bitch’n’ Dog Food, avoiding police attention and collisions that might wreck the vehicle before its final errand.

  3. Respray the same car

    After the factory scene, drive the Perennial to Pay ’n’ Spray as instructed. This job uses a respray to remove evidence; the crusher solution from The Crook is not the required action here. Keep enough money for the service and let the garage complete its work.

  4. Bring the cleaned car back

    Return to the factory in the resprayed vehicle, place it in the indicated area and get out when told. A new colour alone is not the endpoint: the car still has to be delivered back to Marty’s location to register the mission completion.

Key point

The two passenger pickups and the final return all use the same car. Avoid changing vehicles or applying the disposal method from Marty’s previous mission.

Optional for reaching the ending; required for 100% game completion.
