❤️🚗 It takes a community to change a life.

This year, through the Community of Automotive Professionals (CAP) & CarFest Vehicle Repair Program, Ewing Automotive, 10-4 Mobile, Merlin’s Automotive, My C.A.R. Center, Precision Auto Masters, Automotive Fluids Exchange, Belden’s Automotive & Tires, Raven Auto Repair, Sirianni Automotive, and Power Shift Auto Works donated their labor and expertise to complete 10 life-changing vehicle repairs totaling more than $102,000 in value.

Working alongside our incredible nonprofit partners—Reaching Maximum Independence, Family Service Financial Empowerment Center, Intrepid Care, Texas Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, Faith Bound Street Ministry, SAMMinistries, BEAT AIDS, and the Kaizen Edge Foundation—we were able to identify families and individuals who needed reliable transportation to move forward.

This mission would not have been possible without the support of our Anchor Sponsors: Jasper Engines & Transmissions, Walton Distributing/BG Products, O’Reilly Auto Parts, and Red McCombs. Thank you also to our parts donors, O’Reilly Auto Parts and XL Parts, and our tire donors, Elite 1 Automotive and M&C Sandoval Tire & Muffler Shop, whose generosity helped keep these vehicles safe and road-ready.

These weren’t just vehicle repairs—they were rides to work, trips to medical appointments, school drop-offs, and opportunities for a better future. Reliable transportation means independence, stability, and hope.

To every repair shop, nonprofit partner, sponsor, donor, and volunteer who believed in this mission: thank you. Your generosity proves that the automotive community does far more than fix cars—it changes lives.

Together, we’re building stronger communities, one repair at a time. ❤️
