A true example of what it means to show up for the community.

At our final key ceremony of CarFest 2026, this vehicle came full circle thanks to an incredible team effort.

Huge thank you to Belden’s Automotive & Tires for volunteering their time, skill, and labor to complete the repairs and bring this vehicle back to life.

With the support of Jasper Engines & Transmissions, the vehicle received a full engine replacement — giving it a true second chance on the road.

And to SAMMinistries, thank you for trusting us with your repair recipient and allowing us to be part of their journey.

This is what CarFest is all about — collaboration, generosity, and real impact through the automotive community.

Last week, our Garage Pairing Party + CarFest Pep Rally brought together repair garages, non-profits, and vehicle recipients for one of the most meaningful moments leading into CarFest weekend.

During the event, non-profits and repair recipients were officially paired with independent garages who are volunteering their time, labor, and expertise to repair vehicles for individuals and families in need.

This program represents the heart of CarFest — the automotive community coming together to change lives.

We are incredibly grateful to every garage donating their time and expertise to support these families.

#CarFestSA #UnityInTheCommunity #CarFest2026 #AutomotiveCommunity

Awesome turnout this morning at CarFest & Coffee. From classics to builds to daily drivers, the San Antonio car community showed up.

🔥 Tonight’s the Night! 🔧🚗

The Garage Pairing Party + CarFest Pep Rally is happening tonight — where the magic behind CarFest begins. This is the night repair shops meet the non-profits and repair recipients they’ll be working with to restore vehicles for families in need.

Expect exciting announcements, community connections, and a big kickoff to the road leading into CarFest 2026.

📍 ChildSafe
⏰ 6:30 PM

Repair Shops • Volunteers • Sponsors • Vendors • Anyone interested in getting involved — you’re invited.
