At first glance, “The Car Wash” mission in Teardown Part 2 looks overwhelming. The map is wide and vehicles are scattered far apart, making the task of dumping multiple cars into water under a strict timer seem a bit daunting. But with some cheeky tricks and unorthodox approaches, it turns into a satisfying route filled with smart improvisations and satisfying shortcuts.
Here’s how to make this mission way easier — and a lot more fun.
1. Prepping the First Exit Route with the Bulldozer
Start by grabbing the bulldozer (the one with a front shovel). Use it to clear out the wall near the garage with the white car, ensuring a clean route later. Focus more on the left side of the glass wall for an easier exit.
Be cautious not to clip the parked car nearby with the bulldozer’s awkward turning circle.
Clear debris and double-check the floor’s clear for fast exits.
2. The Cheeky Trick – Stripping the Car Chassis
Here’s the clever bit:
Rather than dragging a full car, you can strip it down to just the chassis, which is all that counts as a “vehicle” in Teardown’s logic.
- Use the bulldozer to pin the car against the wall.
- Crush it until it’s a carryable chunk.
- Toss it into a nearby pool of water — but go the longer route toward the bottom pool near the main house. It lines up better for the next move.
Quick save after that’s done.
3. Tossing a Truck off the Ledge (Silently)
This is another slick trick. Use the tipper truck on the raised platform.
- Raise the bed of the truck completely.
- Reverse it toward the edge and let the car fall off naturally.
- If you time your exit right, you’ll jump out before it slips.
This drops the vehicle into the water without tripping any alarms — completely clean.
4. Setting Up the Escape Vehicle
Take the 4×4 back toward the house and position it carefully.
- Avoid bumping anything unnecessarily.
- This will be your quick exit ride after completing the main dumps.
If needed, clear metal objects and use pipe bombs to blast walls or doorways for smoother drives.
Quick save again here.
5. Prepping the Final Cluster of Cars
In the poolside area, you’ll handle three vehicles:
- Red Car – Slow but manageable. Brake early and line it up with the water.
- Yellow Car – Faster. Avoid the bushes and that tricky left-hand ledge.
- Orange Lambo-type Car – Straight-line it off the side.
You can do these all in rapid succession if you park your vehicles cleanly and avoid blocking paths.
6. Final Route and Timing
Once you’ve dumped the three poolside cars, jump into the 4×4 you previously parked, race around to the white car in the garage (pre-cleared), and drive it into the last pool.
Your timer will be tight, but two seconds left is totally doable with this plan.
Extra Optimization Tips
- Use quick saves at key points (after each car toss or before a tricky maneuver).
- Strip cars when possible — especially early vehicles.
- If you want to get creative, open new routes with pipe bombs.
- Keep your final drive lines clean. Clipping one bush can cost you the mission.
Final Thoughts
What seems like a sprawling challenge becomes a controlled demolition and car-flinging sprint once you know the tricks. It’s a mission that rewards outside-the-box thinking and gives just enough time to feel intense without being unfair.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, give this route a go. It’s fun, clever, and the two-second finish leaves just the right amount of tension.
Time to wash some cars — the Teardown way.
