Doherty Garage: Difference between revisions

The '''Doherty Garage''' is the derelict [[Xoomer]] gas station/garage in [[San Fierro]], [[San Andreas in GTA III Era|San Andreas]] that [[Carl Johnson]] wins in a street race after beating [[Claude]] and [[Catalina]]. It is a [[Save Points in GTA San Andreas|save point]] located in the industrial neighborhood of [[Doherty]], across the street from [[Cranberry Station]]. It is a popular hang-out spot for members of [[San Fierro Rifa]], who will question Carl's gang allegiance. A garage is operational so that the player can store up to four cars inside the garage. The garage can also be used even if the save point cannot yet be accessed.

In 1992 Carl Johnson won a deed to the garage after a [[Farewell, My Love...|race]] instead of a pink slip as his [[Claude|opponent]] needed his car to go to [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. After [[The Truth]] is found by [[Police|narcs]] and he and Carl flee to [[San Fierro]], they, along with [[Kendl Johnson|Kendl]] and [[Cesar Vialpando|Cesar]] begin to work on the garage, making it from a run down building into a successful and profitable business. The group, along with [[Wu Zi Mu]] and the [[San Fierro Triads]] use this garage as a base of operation to hunt down the Loco Syndicate. Later on, Carl and Cesar work on delivering rare vehicles on the customers wish list to the [[Wang Cars]] showroom they have purchased earlier.

After successfully defeating Claude and Catalina in a [[Farewell, My Love...|street race]], Carl Johnson [[Are You Going to San Fierro?|heads]] to San Fierro with his new friend, the pot-growing hippie, [[The Truth]]. When they reach the garage, Carl realizes it is abandoned and in desperate need of repair. Before Carl sinks into his despair, Kendl convinces him to turn the situation around and make something of the place. With the help of The Truth, Carl [[Wear Flowers in Your Hair|employs]] [[Dwaine]], [[Jethro]], and [[Zero]] to work in the garage. With the additional help of Cesar Vialpando, Carl and the rest of the crew are able to turn the garage into a successful chop-shop.

* Although Carl acquires the garage after "[[Farewell, My Love...]]", the garage is available from the game start.

* The garage can hold a maximum of 3 vehicles; although more can be placed inside (i.e. 2 cars, 2 motorcycles, or 6 motorcycles) exceeding 3 vehicles may result in one or all of the vehicles parked inside disappearing after a period of time. The garage is larger than most available up to this point in the game, capable of holding 2 [[Monster]] trucks. Although there is a second garage immediately adjacent, it is not accessible.

*If the Doherty Garage is accessed through the [[Hidden Interior Universe]], there will be a calendar saying that the game takes place on January. Explaining why it was snowing during [[Saint Mark's Bistro]].
