Revving Up Popular Street: Crow’s Autos and Hot Wheels Customs Bring New Energy to Los Santos

Popular Street is becoming an exciting destination for car lovers and local shoppers alike with the arrival of two dynamic automotive-focused businesses: Crow’s Autos and Hot Wheels Customs.

Crow’s Autos has opened its doors as a new car dealership that’s turning heads with significantly lower prices than many other dealerships in the area. In a market where buyers often have to negotiate hard for a fair deal, Colt Jamison, owner and all around nice dude, of Crow’s Autos is positioning his dealership as a customer-friendly alternative, offering quality brand new vehicles at prices that make owning a car more accessible for a wider range of budgets. By challenging traditional pricing models, the dealership is drawing in buyers who are tired of the usual inflated listings typical of the locals.

Whether shoppers are looking for reliable daily drivers or well-maintained older models, Crow’s Autos promises a welcoming lot and straightforward buying experience, helping to redefine what local car shopping looks like.

Just down the street, Hot Wheels Customs has opened a mechanic shop that’s truly driven by enthusiasts. Founded by a group of passionate car lovers and prior business owners, the first professional mechanics of their kind in the city, Hot Wheels Customs blends expert automotive repair with a community-oriented vibe.

Here, customers can expect quality mechanical work with attention to detail that comes from genuine love for anything automotive, rather than just a business model. The shop’s founders, Salvatore Romano being at the leadership position along with several other well revered mechanics, have cultivated a space where fellow enthusiasts can bring in their vehicles for everything from routine maintenance to performance upgrades, all carried out with a personal touch and deep respect for automotive craftsmanship. Obviously I’m also a little biased as far as their color scheme goes.

I also wanted to give a shout to Ballas Bites who occupy the warehouse next door to Hot Wheels. I was unable to actually connect with any of the owners, sadly. Time zones and sleep schedules, ya know? However, I’ve heard great things from not only their neighbor mechanics but also from other civilians all over the state! What’s better than gettin’ your grub on while you watch hot mechanics fix your car? Not much, really.

Together, Crow’s Autos and Hot Wheels Customs are helping transform Popular Street into a vibrant hub for car culture in Los Santos. With affordable automobiles on one end and top-notch mechanical services on the other, the stretch is quickly becoming a must-visit for drivers, gearheads, and bargain hunters alike. Here’s to the new businesses fueling both savings and enthusiasm on Popular Street. I’m stoked to see what the city brings with our standards already in the clouds. <3
