How to unlock the Chop Shop achievement in LA Noire - Definitive Guide

This is done in the case called "A Slip of the Tongue" from the traffic desk. It's a DLC case in the original game, but will load up after "A Marriage made in Heaven" in this version.

Late in the mission, you'd need to investigate a warehouse at Industrial Street. Once you reach, you'll be immediately engaged in a gunfight sequence. Your partner tells you that he'll be flanking from another door. Instead of attacking from where you begin, head to the door that he's at. Hug the left wall with cn_RB. Peep out with cn_LT, and you'll see a hanging engine block right ahead. Wait for a few enemies to crowd below the block, and shoot it. It should drop, and kill a couple of enemies in the process (either by dropping directly above them, or causing an explosion that kills them).

The achievement will unlock there and then. Below is a clip of how I did it. During the video, after the enemies were killed, the game autosaves. That is when the achievement should unlock.

Mission - A slip of the Tongue A large garage with multiple shooting enemies, there is an engine block chained to the ceiling, shoot the chain holding the engine to drop it on an enemy.

I found the above method too frustrating as the enemies always moved away and they would never run underneath no matter how long i waited.

instead there is a much easier method, go inside the door that you start near with the red no smoking sign, there is a guy inside a caravan kill him, now with him dead you can see the engine block and a guy in a leather jacket will be underneath shoot the chain holding the engine block and it will fall in one shot and kill the guy.

The achievement pops immediatly so dont wait for the cutscenes, if after you drop the engine the achievement doesn't pop run inside let them kill you and you get to restart the sequence.

Here is a video. i recommend viewing the video.

This is a much better method (in my opinion) than the other. Got it first time with this method, after numerous wasted efforts going through the other door. Upvote from me!

When the shootout starts, run over to the back door with your partner and shoot the engine suspended from the rafters right away. There's a good chance there'll be a guy running right past the barrel when the engine falls on it, netting you the achievement.

*Missable* A shootout will occur once you reach the “chop shop.” When you first enter the building you will notice an engine block, in the back, hanging from a chain. Shooting the chain or engine will cause the engine block to fall and explode the barrels beneath. Any enemies in the area will be killed by the explosion so just make sure to drop the block before killing all of them with your gun. If you miss getting a kill from the engine block simply let them kill you. You'll restart just prior for a chance to try again.

According to the plot, you will storm the warehouse. As soon as the video ends, immediately “unstick” from the wall and run to your partner. Look into the doorway near which he stands (no need to press against the wall, just stand opposite the opening and aim) and on the left side, at the top, you will find a suspended car engine. It is he who needs to be shot down with a well-aimed shot (you need to shoot at the upper part, where the cable is secured). In this case, the explosion from the fallen engine should kill one of the opponents. If this happens, you will hear the treasured “ding” and a trophy your. If not, just run inside and die heroically under a hail of enemy bullets, and after loading from the checkpoint, try to repeat the above again.

Here is a video guide on how to obtain this trophy.

Case "Puncture"

Video hint

If the engine falls without killing anyone, feel free to die and try again. I had to move around the warehouse a lot to get the bots to move and get into the space I wanted.

After the scene near the warehouse, do not start a shootout from the door where the cutscene placed you! Immediately run sharply to another door, near which our Polish partner Bekovsky is standing - and shoot at the engine (the enemy is under it at this time). It didn’t work out - we go under the bullets and repeat again. I have fell out on the second try.
