8-Ball Autos is located where [[Idlewood]] meets [[Little Mexico]] at the northern tip of [[El Corona]] in [[Los Santos]]. There is a road that borders the north brick wall of the [[Unity Station]] parking lot, and that road intersects another road in front the 8-Ball auto shop.


In [[San Andreas]], the cost of bomb armament is $500. The bomb can then be driven wherever the car can be taken. The car is activated by pressing A or B (Xbox Version) and takes approximately 8 seconds to detonate. This allows you to park the vehicle and run away, or drive fast and jump out.
