The Low Down On The Mafia Wars Chop Shop

The Chop Shop is the first Mafia Wars property that does not generate some form of cash, but who needs cash when you have hot cars. The Chop Shop was introduced on February 18^th 2010. In this article you will not only learn how the Chop Shop works, you will learn which vehicles you can build and exactly what the requirements are.

Getting Your Chop Shop Set Up

In order to get your Chop Shop up and running you will need to acquire 50 items.

10 Cement Blocks
10 Power Tools
10 Car Lift
10 Acetylene Torches
10 Shipping Containers

These items do not drop from jobs but there are two ways to get them. First you can get them through gifting. Having a large mafia is a big advantage here since you can have your shop set up very quickly. The Second way that you can get the items is to purchase them with Reward Points at a cost of 1 point per items. I don’t know about you but I can find better things to spend Reward Points on.

If you don’t have the items and have a decent sized mafia all it takes is sending out a request.
