About The Lift Garage

The Lift Garage is an affordable, non-profit auto repair service for all Minnesotans who meet the 150% Federal Poverty Guideline. When faced with an unexpected car repair, The Lift customers simply cannot afford market-rate repairs. Customers at The Lift pay $15/hour for labor and receive the parts at cost.

“At the time, things were on a downward trajectory in my life. Car repair is always a huge expense when you’re in poverty and, if I hadn’t heard about The Lift, I probably would have become carless. But you guys, by being here and making the cost affordable, it got me on solid ground.”
