How to find all the secret car parts in Saints Row

Saints Row Car Parts are a scavenger hunt for building some of the best vehicles in the game. Saints Row doesn't do anything by half so, of course, all the car parts you need to collect are strung up on some Mad Max-style car part windmills. Tracking down all of these parts will fill your garage with seven of the strangest vehicles in the game. Here are the locations for all of the Saints Row Car Parts.

Preparation

There are seven vehicles to collect through gathering car parts. They vary in speed, power, and general usefulness. The six vehicles you can acquire are:

• Vindicator Rocket Car
• Ghost of the Frying Dutchman
• Heavyweight Monster Truck
• Tinfoil Potato
• Widowmaker Motorcycle
• The Ant
• Golden Dump Truck

Most of these vehicles are earned through gathering the Lost Wheels discovery collectables. These are all automatically marked on your map from early in the game, so tracking them down is not a difficult task. Not all of them are easy to get to, but none of them should cause you much trouble to get.

• For all those collectables the game doesn't give you the locations for, check out our Saints Row collectable locations guide.

To make life easier, it is a good idea to bring a helicopter for this. Some of the items are on elevated areas that are not easy to get to on foot. Thankfully, a handful of missions through the main story will unlock a helipad and give you easy access to a helicopter at all times.

Only one of these vehicles does not come from finding Lost Wheels. Fittingly, to get the Golden Dump Truck, you need to go Dumpster Diving. Dumpster Diving is as glamorous an activity as it sounds, but thankfully you do not need to do a lot of it. Searching through four specific dumpsters will get you the gold truck.

• To help you get around, here is our guide to the Saints Row map: size and districts.
