+'''8-Ball Autos''', also referred to as '''Eightballs Autoyard''', is a recurring chain of [[Car Bomb|automobile bomb]] shops in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]].
-There are many places it can be found.
+== Description ==
+In its original appearance in GTA III, the [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]-based business is presumed to be owned by explosives expert [[8-Ball]], who at one point in [[2000]]/[[2001]] employs [[Slick]] at the [[Portland]] shop in [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. The shop arms the player's vehicle with a remote, timed and engine ignition bomb. Further appearances of the bomb shops in 1980s [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, and in [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] circa 1992 in GTA San Andreas imply that the business has a wider reach in the United States and has existed as early as [[1984]]; it is unknown who owned the bomb shops during these periods.
