Need of free car repair

[bobJohnson]

I am a 66 year old man and I work part time delivering the mail, and I draw social security, so I do not have a lot of money. A few days ago my transmission went out on my car and it is probably going to cost me a thousand dollars or more to fix? And since I am a rural carrier, I have to furnish my own car, and if I do not have a car to carry the mail I will lose my job? Can you help me??

Hi, I am a single mother of two. I work full time as well as go to school and take care my kids. I have a car that I'm paying a car loan on as well as insurance. And its gotten to the point I can't afford the repairs once all of bills or paid I only would have money for food. Things like this is the reason why I am going to school to better myself as well as I teach my kids how important education is to have. I am getting to point I want to give up, but my kids motivate me so I don't want to fell them like there father did. And this is my last hope so if you can please help me. I never ask for help in my life but now I really do need it and prays not answering.

I always suggest to people that need car repairs, try calling your local high schools, vocational high schools, and automotive vocational schools. I don't know where they get their cars to work on, but it's worth a try. I remember in my high school days that the automotive repair shop class, had cars from somewhere to work on.

We always say that auto repairs are hard to get. Not too many charities or non-profits will provide for them. If you are willing to make payments on your car repairs in Spokane then maybe take out a low interest rate loan to pay it off. Also try calling these agencies and non-profits for advice.

I have heard of schools that offer auto/shop repair, sometimes will take cars to work on, so the students can get expierence. Try some area high schools in your area to see what kind of situations they gain in doing this. Because the students after all have to get the cars from somewhere to work on.

Thank you for your reply. As for the phone number 277-6790 to call and ask if there is possibly an organization to help was unsuccessful also. Every time I call I get a recorded message telling me the call can not go through at this time, and to try again later. Well I try over and over again and still get the same response. So I don't know if the number has been disconnected or if the office is closed due to state funding or what. Therefore I haven't any idea who to call now or what to do. But thank you so much for your help I sure do appreciate it.

Car repairs are rare to get help with. Not many places offer assistance, if any. Funding is also very limited. Churches, Salvation Army, and similar places are good to call, which sounds like you have already done. Also find some information on other car repair possibilities.

As far as a listing of non-profits and charities in your area, find extensive details on St. Clair financial assistance programs. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/st_ ... e_pr1.html We have charities, non-profits, community action agencies and many other places to call.

I reside in St Clair county Illinois. My only income is SSD which is very low. My car has broken down and in need of a water pump replacement. I can afford the new water pump. It's the labour cost of $950(which is much much more than my monthly income) for a vehicle that is 13 years old with almost 200,000 miles is something that I can not afford. Now that my car is broken down it seems that my friends(so I thought)and relatives refuse to answer my calls or return messages when I need help going to the doctor etc. Or they have one excuse after another not to help me out when I need to go to the doctor, picking up my medication etc. It's sad but true. Many local charities including churches are having a difficult financial problems during this time, therefor asking for help is difficult. Can anyone help me please with information.

No really. Not government programs for car repairs. Otherwise everyone would use them! What you can do is call local charities for funds for car repairs, some may offer transportation to jobs or doctor appointments, and other transportation type assistance. Try your church, the Salvation Army, and other non-profit and charity type organizations for this transportation services. Find a listing of non-profits and charities here.

I was wondering were I could get low cost or government assistance with auto repair? Me and my 3 kids are homeless with a vehicle that needs repair. We were in an accident shortly after becoming homeless. We really need assistance I use the vehicle to transport kids to school, buy groceries for our family, doctors appointments, and also to search for employment. I was laid off of my job about two months ago due company downsizing. I would really appreciate any info or assistance for our family. I seen you have several auto repair assistance programs in cities surrounding me. I am not sure if I would have to live in that specific city or county for the assistance with the auto repair. Please help us.

Some places for car repairs in Kansas may be your local church, Salvation Army, or community action agency. Phone numbers for various local non-profits in Kansas can be found here. http://needhelppayingbills.com/html/kan ... grams.html Select your exact county or city from the list. Also consider programs and non-profits like Ways to Work or 1800 charity cars as additional options. Yes, it can be a vicious circle as a car is needed for work.

I am looking for some help on getting my car fixed. I have never asked anyone. But felt repelled to ask and let God do the rest. I have heard of love offerings, do you do this to help others. I do have a job, just not enough money to fix the car. And I need the car to get to work. So vicious circle. I sure help someone will help me, i sure won't want to have to walk 5 miles to work. PLEASE FIND IN YOUR HEART TO HELP. I'm a real person with a real need. I live in Kansas.

What did Auto Care ministries say, as that is one of the organizations that we say can help from time to time. Of course they have limited resources, and the demand is great, but they may be an option. Some other charities and non-profits to call for auto care, cars, and other transportation assistance can be found here.

Here are some agencies to call in Mercer County Pennsylvania. Ask if they know of any local car repair programs. Maybe stop by your local auto shops too and ask, call church, etc.

Fixing a van or car is not as easy to get help for, but there may be some programs. Call your local church, community action agency, and local Salvation Army too. Some other programs and options can be found here using this link. Maybe even look into a new car program such as Ways to Work while you look for repairs for your van.
