Any organization offers car repair for disabled senior citizen for free or low rate ?I can't afford to change the timing belt and replace a couple of tires. Please let me know if anyone can help me find one.Thank you.Numdar
I am in need of help with car repairs. My wipers and my heat and my radio don't work I recently put in a ignition switch and it started acting up I went to the store this morning and a block away my car just died, finally it started back up. I'm at my wits end. I live alone an don't have much help also I live in the country
Please read the responses below. This is a forum of caregivers from all over the US and other countries. We personally cannot help you with your problem, just point you in the right direction.
Contact your local Community College. Some have Auto repair programs and may need cars to work on. Also check with the local High School they may also have the same type of program. Contact your local Senior Center, they may have Volunteers or programs that may help.
Call your county Office of Aging to see what resourses there are near you. Call the Highschool and see if they still have auto shop and can help. Or a tech school in your area. Maybe you can get some retreads.
Do you have a local site on FB where you can ask questions. There maybe someone who will fix your car for the price of the part. There r still are good people in this world. Nextdoor.com is another place you can sign up for people in your area.
Non-profits: The Salvation Army, Catholic Charities, and local charities often have programs to assist with car repairs or provide transportation.
Government Programs: Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) grants through the Department of Human Services can help with repairs for those needing transportation to work.
Veteran-focused Charities: Organizations like Operation Homefront provide assistance to veterans, including car repair help.
Charitable Organizations: 1-800-Charity-Cars provides donated vehicles to disabled drivers, while Cars 4 Christmas donates vehicles in need.
Community Projects: My Garage provides simple repairs and maintenance for low-income, elderly, or disabled residents.
Local Resources: Check with local senior centers or technical colleges for potential assistance.
Free is not usually possible. Keep in mind that many mechanics these days cannot even afford to own their own car. This is even more true for those believing that young people will be eager to do home repairs for free just because the homeowner—which they usually are not—is old and frail.
So, one thing you might do is go to those gas stations with service garages. One near me specializes in reselling gently used tires that still have a couple years of tread for way less than new ones. You might see if you can get a discount on the timing by buying the belt yourself at o Reilly or online.
