CarFest SA Repair Program
Lifting Up Families Through Automotive Repair
Core Values:
Integrity | Community | Education | Excellence
What We Do
At CarFest, powered by the Community of Automotive Professionals (501c3), we unite the local automotive industry to give back in powerful, hands-on ways.
We Repair & Give Vehicles:
Dozens of families receive free vehicle repairs or donated cars each year, thanks to the skilled labor of local shops and the generosity of our parts sponsors.
We Empower Nonprofits:
We partner with trusted nonprofit organizations to identify families in need and ensure that our impact goes where it matters most.
We Build Careers:
Through CareerFest, we connect high school students, aspiring mechanics, and job seekers with automotive employers, hands-on workshops, and educational opportunities.
We Celebrate Community:
CarFest is more than an event—it’s a movement. With live repairs, entertainment, car shows, and giveaways, it’s a weekend that brings people together for a purpose.
Who We Are
Founded in 2015, the Community of Automotive Professionals (C.A.P.) was created to bring together the automotive industry to serve the community. At the heart of CarFest SA is our mission to help families and non-profits stay on the road by providing free, essential vehicle repairs.
We work directly with local non-profits who nominate families or organizations in need of reliable transportation.
What is Carfest's Repair Program?
Our Car Repair Program is dedicated to helping low-income families get back on the road by providing essential car repairs at no cost.
We believe that reliable transportation is crucial for accessing work, education, and healthcare, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to maintain their independence.

Partner with Us:
Nominate Someone in Need
Each year, CarFest teams up with local non-profits to identify families who need critical vehicle repairs.
During CarFest weekend, our community of skilled automotive professionals—mechanics, shops, and repair specialists—volunteer
their time to restore these vehicles, helping ensure families have safe and reliable transportation.
New This Year:
In addition to nominating families, non-profits can now also nominate one of their own vehicles that is used to serve the community.
Whether it's for delivering food, transporting clients, or outreach work—if your vehicle helps support the underserved,
we want to help keep it running.
Join us in driving change.
Together, we can keep families and vital services moving forward.
