🚦 Dash lights are your ride’s way of saying, ‘Help me!’ 🚗💡

The lights are color coded to keep you safe on the road:

Green/Blue = All good 🆗
Yellow/Orange = Caution ⚠️
Red = Stop now! 🛑

Don’t ignore these signals. Your car’s safety - and yours - depends on it.

Know what those glowing icons mean to stay safe and avoid a bumpy road ahead.

Earlier this summer, Auto Repair Transformation received a grant from Impact 100 Seattle, which is already hard at work fueling our mission to drive equity and opportunity in the auto-repair industry.⁠ 🚗💥

The team at Impact 100 sat down with A.R.T Founder and Executive Director Eli Allison for an interview. Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BY5Vv9Vfbc

Once again, thank you Impact 100 for giving us the collective horsepower to keep our community running smoothly. ❤️🛠️⁠

Oil change or groceries? No one should have to make that choice.

And thanks to incredible donors like Andy, Dave and Bubba, people can count on Auto Repair Transformation’s Low Income Repair program to keep their rides running smoothly through tough times!

We prioritize helping people with preventative maintenance because we see all the time what happens when basic things like oil changes get pushed off.

It is so frustrating not to be able to help and then see a minor problem like dirty oil become a blown engine down the road. People aren’t postponing maintenance because they don’t care, but because they’re choosing between groceries and car care.

It doesn’t have to be that way.

You can be the next hero to rev up repairs and help someone keep their car on the road through ART’s Low Income Repair program.

Auto Repair Transformation is midway through our “Rev Up Repairs” Spring Campaign and we’re making great progress towards our goal.

⭐ We’ve welcomed 15 new supporters towards our goal of 20 supporters! ⭐

Will you help us reach our goal by May 23rd?

Look what YOU made happen in 2024!

Now let’s do it again in 2025. 🚘

Right now, Auto Repair Transformation has a long waitlist of critical car repairs for low-income community members, but without funds for parts, supplies, and auto fluids, we can’t help.

With many community members facing additional hardships with the loss of services from current and proposed federal cuts, the need for support is urgent.

Our Low-Income Auto Repair Assistance Program is 100% funded by donors like you.

Your donation today will make an immediate difference in our ability to help people keep their cars safe and functional.

When we show up for one another—when we make sure everyone can get to work, school, and appointments safely—we’re not just fixing cars. We’re strengthening the whole community.
