GTA IV walkthrough · Niko Bellic

The laundromat owner runs instead of paying Vlad. You must damage his van enough to make him stop, rather than destroy it or kill the driver.

Mission walkthrough

  1. Follow him outside

    Enter the marked laundromat. When the owner escapes through the rear, follow quickly and get into an available car. Start after the van before it builds a large gap.

  2. Force the van to stop

    Catch up on straighter sections and strike the van with controlled rams. Back off enough to keep your own car pointed along the road. Repeated side impacts at junctions are more likely to spin you into traffic than end the chase.

  3. Complete the collection

    When the driver stops and the conversation begins, stop attacking. Let the agreement and Niko’s call conclude. This mission ends through the intimidation sequence; there is no need to steal the van and deliver it elsewhere.

Key point

Avoid explosives or sustained gunfire at the engine. The mission needs the shopkeeper alive to agree to Vlad’s demand.
