Starting Location: Pulling Favors

Location: Strawberry / Forum Drive
Quest Giver: Tonya
Requirement: Complete “Repossession“
Can Be Started By: Franklin

Go to the Tow Truck

You’re working against the clock, so skip the cutscenes!

Mission Time: Complete within 05:00

You’ll encounter Tonya outside the liquor store across the street from Franklin’s house. She needs Franklin to help out her and her boyfriend JB, who is too “sick” to work today. Somehow this becomes Franklin’s problem and he agrees to help.

Get into your car, and drive Tonya to the Davis Sheriff impound lot. Drive up to the gate, and it will open for you. Once inside, park your car and get into the tow truck. Tonya will get in with you, and give you a crash course in being a tow truck driver (to save some time waiting for Tonya’s slow movement, park with your passenger door facing the passenger door of the tow truck.)

Go to the Abandoned Car

Once in the truck, turn left and go back out the gate you came in by. Follow the path to the objective marker as fast as your slow tow truck will manage. There are no points for the condition of your truck, so feel free to drive aggressively. Once you reach the vehicle that you’re towing, turn so the hook is facing either the front or back bumper of the car, then reverse into it until you see the hook catch. Typically you’ll see a “magnetic” effect, or the hook “snap” to the bumper. Then you can hit to raise the hook slightly, so the closest wheels are off the ground.

Tow the Car to the Impound

Then drive all the way back to the impound.

There are no points for the condition of your towed vehicle either, so you can still drive aggressively, but don’t let it bash around too much because of the other Gold Medal requirement:

Unhook Bonus: Keep the vehicle hooked until delivery

Drive back to the impound, and look for the area that is labeled as “NO PARKING” with red diagonal lines. When the towed vehicle is in this area, hold / to detach the car and end the mission.
