I am a customer and my vehicle needs repairs. How do I get this fixed?
Give us a call between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and we can schedule you an appointment.
What’s the difference between a client and a customer?
Customers are those with the ability to pay for competitively priced services similar to anything offered by a traditional garage.
Clients are those who face financial challenges and can become qualified to receive repairs for the cost of parts by going through a qualification process outlined here.
To qualify for vehicle repairs, clients must:
-
Live or work in Midland County
-
Earn within 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines (click here to view these numbers)
-
Show proof of ownership for the vehicle that needs repairs
Clients who meet the above eligibility requirements are pre-qualified by an approved social service agency by filling out a referral form.
The social service agencies we work with include:
-
The Salvation Army (TSA)
-
Senior Services
-
Department of Human Services (DHS)
-
Mid-Michigan Community Action Agency (MMCAA)
-

Once pre-qualified, you may call to schedule an appointment to diagnose the problem, determine the parts and labor needed and agree upon the cost of parts.
