A car crusher is a crane and compactor you can feed with any vehicle you steal. A crush pays cash, with the amount depending on your score multiplier and the vehicle. Many models also give a bonus item, and the item depends on the district you are in. The table lower down lists every vehicle that gives one.
How it works
Drive the vehicle to the crusher and get out. The crane lifts it and drops it into the compactor, and the crushed shell rides a conveyor belt into a building. The reward then comes out on a second belt next to it. That belt is elevated and the prize is only there for a short time, so be ready to run up a ramp or jump from a platform to reach it.
Do not follow the belt too far into the building at the end, or Claude gets wasted. See power-ups and weapons for what each prize does.
Rewards by vehicle
Only vehicles listed here give a bonus item. A dash means no bonus item. Some vehicles, such as the Tank and the Truck Cab, cannot be crushed at all.

Notes
The Rednecks crusher at the Mobile RV Park gives no reward at all. The Downtown mission Cop Car Crush! ends at a crusher. For the other bonuses in the game, see bonuses, and for stealing the cars, see vehicles.
