Usually these malls have 2nd floor parkade with doors that can be opened wide enough for a car. If not, then I have no idea.

Usually, if a mall is multiple stories, it’s built into the side of a hill so that it can have upper and lower loading docks. The car is a big singular item, but all the merchandise in all of the stores has to be delivered too, and they are not carrying that all up stairs or in elevators.

Basically the car will be in a crate with packaging. There will be a vehicular route for a forklift vehicle or a car low loader to be pushed through the venue and a crane will lift it up so that with manual handling it can be cited placed in position.

In TV/movies effects, workers can easily using moulds make a fibre glass facsimile that looks like a real vehicle, but weighs one twentieth. I’d use that and weights to put the vehicle somewhere truly inaccessible.

Depends on the mall design.

Some have large cargo elevators in the back areas to transfer products. Some have multi-level parcades with access doors. Some have service doors on the side of the build so a crane can hoist products up.
