LOW INCOME REPAIR About the Program: Reliable transportation is essential for maintaining employment, accessing healthcare, and daily necessities, especially for low-income individuals who often live far from work and essential services. Our Low Income Repair Program prioritizes BIPOC, women, 2SLGBTQIA+, and unhoused community members by providing automotive repairs, education, and advocacy. In 2024, we saw a dramatic increase in clients living in their vehicles, further underscoring the urgent need for this program, despite ongoing funding challenges. We are hopeful that our advocacy efforts in 2025 will help expand this program by emphasizing reliable transportation as a crucial factor in breaking down economic barriers.

Since they fixed my headlights and tail light, I can drive safely and no longer worry about being pulled over. But this repair is more than just safety. My broken tail light was a painful reminder of an abusive relationship. Even though I had escaped, the damage remained—on my car and in my mind. When I picked up my car and saw the new tail light, that awful reminder was gone. I never imagined how healing this simple repair would be. Auto Repair Transformation didn’t just fix my car—they helped me reclaim a piece of myself. Thank you for not only keeping me safe on the road but for giving me an unexpected gift of healing.
