The Silent Hill 2 garage jack needs a lever which can be found just in the garage down the road, but you won't know that at first. You'll get two opportunities to find the garage jack lever and use to open the door to get the rewards inside, as you'll come back to this area twice as you follow the story - both before and after the hospital section. If you want to get inside and grab the loot inside either time, I'll lay out exactly where to find the garage jack lever in Silent Hill 2, and what's inside when you use it

The Silent Hill 2 garage jack needs a lever found to the West from the sealed garage itself, down at Octanis Fuels. I've marked it on the map above for you to find and once you get there you'll see another jack holding up a green car. Take the lever from it, and then head back to the garage to use it to crank up the door so James can squeeze through underneath. It'll collapse after you do so, but don't worry as there's a regular door, locked from the inside, that you can use to leave.

Inside the garage, you'll find:

  • 12x handgun ammo (scattered around in several piles)
  • 1x health drink
  • 1x syringe
  • 1x Strange Photo Collectible: "made it! / #20"
  • 1x readable newspaper about layoffs at Brookhaven Hospital

If you missed the first chance to open the garage after clearing the Silent Hill 2 Remake Pyramid Head boss fight and meeting Maria in Rosewater Park, don't worry - you return to this area later, at night, after Brookhaven Hospital, and have the chance to collect the jack again.

It's also worth mentioning that if you head in the direction of Octanis Fuels the first time around, Maria will call after you, as to her eyes you appear to be going in the wrong direction for no reason. You can ignore her without any immediate consequence, but this is one of the many elements that determines which Silent Hill 2 Remake endings you get.
