H&O Exports/3.0

H&O Exports also known as the "HOE", was an underground repair shop/car dealership owned by Otto Delmar. It was run by Hutch Hutcherson and Jaylen Carter. It shut down on March 28, 2023.
Only 17 people have access to the shared garage, the fast benny's repair and full repair inside the Warehouse.
A few months later Otto decided to buy the underground garage and move operations there.
When Hutch started to wake up in the city more infrequently, he gave Jaylen Carter full control of operations.
It was the host of the first day of WuChella.
It was shut down during the end of March 2023 after Ramee El-Rahman had a talk with Otto convincing him it was useless. However, rumors of H&O slowly making a return abounded in May 2023 after Otto quietly hired Tony Corleone to H&O, signalling Redline may revive the business. However, it was never fully revived and mainly stayed as an inhouse Redline repair shop.
==Operations==
The shop can do a quick repair and a full Benny's repair in exchange for GNE sticks. It is also the only place to convert a Vin scratched vehicle to fully legal. Depending on the vehicle, conversion costs the owner a certain dollar amount as well as requiring the converter to consume many materials and high quality car parts from scrapped cars, which Jaylen and now Patar will pay the customer to help them acquire these materials faster.
On the 16th of September 2021, The Puppet Master called Hutch and informed him that the state had enforced a 750 GNE holding cap, making Hutch responsible for distributing GNE sticks for the whole city.
After Jaylen went to the Bahamas indefinitely, Hutch put Patar in his role until Jaylen's return.
==History==
Crushing Day
Let me try to write a timeline of events that led to H&O Imports crushing about 7.8 Million dollars worth of VIN Scratch vehicles on 03/11/2021
Espinoz catches Sofia during an M+ plus boost because Sofia tweets at Espinoz while she's hiding in a bush of his car.
They get a subpoena of Sofia's text messages for 3 days, which in those 3 days of text messages, they get the subpoena extended to 12 days. Where they learn a lot of information about boosting and other criminal dealings, along with Curtis's text messages.
Angel who has no idea about the text messages finds an S+ street race, chases a Sultan RS for the entire race, chases him after the race is completed to the point that his orange engine light turns on from stalls, needs help from the other racers, he doesn't listen to AP's instructions of going left on Lower Power St and continues straight which causes Underwood to crash at 150+ mph into AP.
Underwood shoots AP down.
Angel comes to MRPD to process AP, she asks him about his Demon and how much he spent on it.
Angel looks at AP's employment and sees H&O Imports, asks what he does for them, and says that he gets materials for them. She asks where they're located and he doesn't know where they're located.
Angel looks up H&O Imports in the business tab of the MDW, and looks at its employee's list, and sees a whole bunch of CG members which she asks AP if this is in a CG company.
Angel sends AP to jail.
Angel later calls AP to ask if he knows how to get Harnesses for one Interceptor and one for her Explorer, he says he can, and they agree on a price of $15,000.
Angel goes down to the Tuner Shop to meet AP, pays for the harnesses.
Before leaving, Angel makes a joke to AP, Blacksteel, Rat, and other racers after they start joking about SRU and that the police have only caught two people so far that day, Angel jokes about SRU following someone in a VIN Scratch to a garage to see where they park the car. Angel leaves.
AP texts Hutch and says that cops were asking about his business when he was in processing and asked if it's a CG company, then he texts Hutch again telling him that the cops are following someone to the H&O Imports warehouse (which they aren't).
Hutch ends up firing Sofia from H&O Imports.
Fast forward a bit
Baas and Sofia have a meeting in the oil fields about what happened with someone named AP telling some powerful people she works with, and that got her fired and not trusting her.
This whole time SCU doesn't know who "leaked" things, while Angel doesn't know about the investigation into Sofia and her text messages.

Temporary closure
On April 8, 2022, Otto Delmar woke up and removed everyone's keys to H&O without prior warning, including co-owner Hutch Hutcherson and Jaylen Carter, who ran H&O's daily operations.
Temporary staffing shakeup
On August 22, 2022, Hutch Hutcherson began trying to sort out the fallout of Jaylen being temporarily deported a day or two prior. He contacted employees that are involved in H&O's operations, including Juan Carlos Hernandez, Jordan Walker, and Ramee El-Rahman. It was determined that Patar Bellosh would temporarily takeover Jaylen's role until he returns to Los Santos. Jay returned on October 4-5.
Otto returns again
On February 13, 2023, Otto Delmar returned to Los Santos once again. This time he emptied the H&O bank account of $12 million.
The "Real" Otto's
On February 25, 2023, Otto Delmar returned to Los Santos once again. This time he took sole ownership of H&O due to Hutch's long absence. He also established the "real Otto's", a mechanic shop, right next to Otto's Auto's. Otto said he skipped the business application with the mayor and construction company process and just set up shop. Mila Smoak would run the public, front end of the business.
Redline takeover and name change to "The Underground"
