Unfortunately, you'll lose your car during the Cyberpunk 2077 Human Nature mission. You get wrecked by a Delamain vehicle and as a result, your car gets sent to the garage for repairs. At this stage of the game, it's unlikely you'll have any other cars available, which means you'll want to know how to get your car back... or acquire another one. You need to kill time during the repairs, but there are specific jobs you can start that will return your car quicker. Here are all the details on how long to wait during the Human Nature job in Cyberpunk 2077 and how to get your car back.

How to get your car back in Cyberpunk 2077

If you're waiting to get your car back in Cyberpunk 2077, you can try and speed up that process by skipping in-game time. There's an option in the main menu where your map and inventory etc is listed, in the bottom left-hand corner. But, multiple users are reporting that this doesn't actually help. 

Instead, make sure to start the Delamain Tune Up Side Job, as this will actually make sure the AI actually starts repairs on your car. 

You can also pick up the Heroes Side Job, which involves calling Jackie's mother - Mama Welles - to check in on her. If you sent Jackie's body home, or left it in the car while you spoke to Dex, this will open up a lovely mission where you attend Jackie's funeral. If not, Jackie's mum will just message you a few times. Either way though, completing the Heroes Side Job will earn you Jackie's bike, which is super helpful while you're without your car.

Once you've got your car back, you can always call it to your location wherever you are just by tapping V or right on the D-Pad for our pad-using pals. If you hold that button down instead, you'll bring up the full list of the vehicles in your possession right now, and be able to call any of them to you at will. 

Of course, it's worth remembering that you can't keep Cyberpunk 2077 cars that you steal, but you can pinch them at will if you've got the required skills.
