Summary[]
The business appears 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. The business is owned by explosives expert 8-Ball, who at one point in 2000 employs Slick at the Portland shop in Liberty City. This shop arms the player's vehicle with a remote, timed and engine ignition bomb which can be triggered using a button.
In Grand Theft Auto Advance, the shop in Harwood serves as the starting location for 8-Ball's missions in Portland.

In 1984, the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the shop was located in Downtown Vice City. In 1986, the events of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the shop moved to Viceport.

Trivia[]
- The Eightballs Autoyard Portland branch in GTA Advance is still in Harwood, although the HUD displays the "Portland Beach" area name instead.
- The telephone number of 8-Ball Autos in GTA San Andreas is (555) 010012, with 10012 being the zip code of Rockstar Games in New York City. This number also appears on the artwork of 8-Ball's prison jumpsuit.
- Bombs from the business are used in the missions Mike Lips Last Lunch, Bomb Da Base: Act II and Kanbu Bust-out (GTA III), Shogun Showdown (optional), Blow Up 'Dolls' and Bringing the House Down (GTA Liberty City Stories). There is no actual mission directly using the bomb shop in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas; however, the player can optionally choose to have a vehicle outfitted with a bomb and set it off where desired; it is available from the beginning of the game in GTA San Andreas, and after the mainland is unlocked in GTA Vice City.
