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.

Why low-cost car repair?

“I have a sick little boy, and I work hard to take care of him and pay his expenses on top of our regular stuff. Sometimes, it just feels overwhelming. I sat outside in my car in Target crying, because I felt like, just once, just finally, I got a break. We were able to get my car fixed.”⁠

“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.”
