Silent Hill 2 remake: Where to find the garage jack 

After meeting Maria for the first time in Rosewood Park, players are thrust into Western South Vale and the second half of the town map. Hanging a left after exiting the park will land players in an auto shop on the corner of Nathan Avenue and Munson Street, where a garage door is slightly propped open by an incomplete car jack. Here’s where to get the garage jack lever in the Silent Hill 2 remake so you can enter the auto shop and pick up a Strange Photo collectable. 

The garage jack lever can be found where you think it would be 

While the Western South Vale area can seem like a daunting place to explore, you will find the garage jack lever where you would expect it to be in real life: at a gas station. Be especially wary of the enemies that roam Silent Hill as you head to Octanis Fuels on the corner of Nathan Avenue and Carroll Street, since Maria will be joining you on your first trek through this area.  

You will find a green car being propped up by a still intact car jack at the back of the gas station. Interacting with the car jack will add the Garage Jack Lever item to your inventory, which will allow you to open the garage door of the auto shop. 

What’s inside the auto shop? 

In addition to some healing items and ammunition, you will also find the “Made it!” Strange Photo collectible in a red toolbox near one of the car lifts in the auto shop. The photo is worthless on its own, but collecting all 26 Strange Photos scattered throughout the game will unlock the “Pieces Unarranged” achievement.
