Cars and Car Repairs for Low Income Families

There are many programs that offer free cars for low income families, and free car repairs for low income families. Sadly they don’t tell people who need this most. I am not sure why they keep these things such a big secret with so many people in need. Everyday things are a hassle such as: making it to work on time, grocery shopping, picking up your child from school when they are sick, Dr. appointments, the list goes on. Public transportation is scary especially with small children. Not only that, it takes up a lot of time. With that being said I have decided to take it upon myself and find this information and share it with the world in hopes to help people who truly need a car.

There is help out there if you qualify. Please take the time to make phone calls, write letters and search all the resources I have listed for you. I have spent countless hours finding as much information as I can to help those in need, because I know what it’s like to be poor and not to have a car and other important necessities. Car distributions are reserved for households without a car, not families wanting a second car or young adults considered as dependents.

Free Cars For Low Income Families

With so many people in need these days and a car being a very important necessity they now have more and more programs popping up to help families get a car who otherwise could not afford one. If you qualify for a car from a charity, you don’t have to pay for the car.  It will be donated to your family free of charge. If you are a low income family you may be eligible to receive a free, discount car and/or car repairs from a nonprofit organization or car charity organization.  If so, the car you will receive will be absolutely free because someone special with a huge heart has already donated it, just for someone like you.PLEASE NOTE: I DO NOT RUN THESE PROGRAMS. Nor am I in anyway whatsoever affiliated with any of them. Common Qualifications for a Free Car from Charities:

-Low income

-Victims of natural disaster

-Families living in transitional living shelters

-Families transitioning from public assistance to work

-Victims of domestic violence

-Medically needy

-Military families in need

-Non-profit organizations

If you know of any resources you would like to share please let me know and I will be happy to add it to the list. I will continually add to this page as I find more resources. I wish you all the best in finding the help you need.

  1. Christine Huff says

    Hi, I am disabled and I am caring for my granddaughter, she was removed from her mother because of neglect and abuse. A car would mean the world to us, I need to go to doctor appointments, grocery shopping, the pharmacy. She also is ADHD and needs to see her doctor. Thank you

  2. I’m a 57 year old woman near Tucker, GA, I haven’t had steady work since August 2016, I allowed my daughter to use my car 1 time on a rainy day and yes there was a fender bender. She’s ok but my car isn’t. The way it was hit knocked the wheel off something on the right side front causing it to drive extremely wobbly, not safe to drive. I dont have the funds to have it fixed or even get it to a garage. I need my car a 1998 Toyota RAV4 with 285,000 miles on it but it drove great before this. I need that car to go on interviews and do errands. My home is already on the pre foreclosure list. I’d appreciate any help but most of all for some angel to fix my car so i can find a job and save my home. Thank you.

    • Seems to me you don’t understand that you need to get in touch with the organizations she has listed, the applications are not going to be done for you.
      If you have a social worker they may help you fill out forms, or maybe at the church you go to some one can help you fill out the forms

  3. Lynn Abutaha says

    Thank you for making this list. I’m hoping to find a way to get my car repaired so I don’t miss any more work. It’s very hard for some of us out here who are alone and working hard to keep a job. I really appreciate all of the information you have compiled for people. Have a wonderful day 😀 ♡♡♡

  4. Demetrius C Bean says

    Thanks for this info..I will share this with many, and test the waters with those available to me.

  5. Steven Stack says

    I live with my girlfriend currently in mankato, MN and I just bought a 1994 Chevy s10 with only 74k miles and runs great and great gas mileage. However I decided to go to church for the first time in like ten years and my starter stopped working and we have no other working vehicle to get to and from doctor appointments local and non local. My girlfriend has epilepsy issues and I’m getting my license January 24th 2017 and am on disability and it took everything I had to get a working vehicle and make the repairs I was able to make however I do not have enough to get a starter for my pickup which is $70 including the core charge. Any help would be greatly appreciated we are desperately in as my girlfriend has medical appointments that she needs to attend sometimes in Minneapolis since her brain surgery.

  8. Mercedez Mesquita says

    Hi, my name is Mercedez. My car was just repossessed yesterday. I was behind on payments because my fuel pump had gone out on it so it was hard to do my job because I used my vehicle to deliver things to the city. I had just barely got it fixed a month ago and was starting to get my hours back but dealership did not wait for payment. He said he would hold for 10 days if I were able to come up with $1,175. If there is anything you would be able to do for me, it would greatly be appreciated. I have 2 boys who depend on me. Thank you for your time.

  17. Angie,

    I want to thank you for putting all these resources in one place! You have given me a place to start my search for car repair help, and I thank you.

  18. I am very sorry, in my other comment it was supposed to be December not September.

  19. Hi, I am in Florida, a couple of months ago the transmission went out in my SUV and I wasn’t able to afford to fix it. At the time I was living with my daughter and her family. I am 60. My other daughter asked me to move to Georgia so I thought this would be a good opportunity for me since I would have a way to work. Due to unfortunate circumstances we had to come back. A couple of days later I became ill and ended up in the hospital. Had to have surgery and came back to my daughters then ended up sick again a day later and had to have surgery again. After I left hospital my daughter could not afford for me to stay but a week so my cousin was kind enough to let me stay with her 4 hours away. Now I have no job and no car. I feel having a car is vital in my situation because I could already be working now since I am well. I really miss my family too and can’t stay where I am only to the end of September, but I want to be back where my family is, so a car is vital for work in order to find an apartment. There is just me and no other income. I need a car badly. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

  20. Any information about car repairs in WASHINGTON STATE wold be greatly appreciated. My mother is disabled and low income. She uses her car to go to the doctors/get medicne and get groceries. Any information would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
    Thanks from WASHINGTON!

    I’m in OKC, OK & didn’t see my state listed above. However, I did apply to the ones listed before states came into play. You’re an Angel! Thanks Fir All That You Do & All You Have Done! ❤

    Here’s my story…..

    I’ m a single mom & nursing student working 1 part time to job and 2 PRN (as needed) jobs make ends meet. I had to take a leave of absence from college and I was only 3/wks from finishing but I had to due to transportation issue. I back in now and last day will be 12/12/16. I am in the process of transferring from government assistance, Thank God. I was doing ok for myself until my transmission went out in my car. I’ve owned it for about 8/yrs. After tranny went out (no longer have the car) my boyfriend at the time took all as much weight off me as he could and did his best to carry it. Well…after so much of that and him loosing his truck one day while taking my son to work. Shortly after that I started to slowly lose him until he just slipped away. It hurts my heart bad, I know my weigh is heavy at times but I never intended or even thought I’d lose who I tthought could have been my future husband. Every nurse deserves a husband right, every good woman that is…. Well, I’m on my own now with God leading and now doing my best to keep from falling aparr.. I get pinned in November & graduate, Walk The Stage, Yaaaaay, on 12/15/2016. Has it been rough and tough? Yes!!! Is it worth it? YES!!! If others only knew where I come from they’d understand my drive and determination. I know hurt, pain and hunger etc all too well. I want to take part in helping change lives of others one heart at a time. I’m very private so when my big sister found out I had been catching the bus to school, work and to interviews she Made me take her car even though her transmission is going out too, what are the odds. Hers is still running good but slips like it’ll go any day now. She wouldn’t take no for an answer and she now depends on her boyfriend for rides until I get myself together. She has no children so she said, “Take it for now and get yourself together.” Only thing is that I have no way of getting another vehicle right and I’m huring so bad for my sister….I pray she doesn’t lose her better half becuase of me & my situation. Now if what she has done isn’t PURE LOVE I ain’t never seen it before. We had a rough upbringing and made a pack as kids to Never leave the other standing alone. We’ve lived up to that through the Grace of God and are now in our late 30s aiming to do better for ourselves simply so we can help others. I’m still diligently working hard as I can to get settled. I took a car loan out on my car before tranny went out and I still pay on that every month too. I don’t mind working hard, bettering myself and doing what it takes to make sure we not only survive but het to better grounds & stay there. It just gets a little overwhelming at times. I do more laughing and joking to hid the pain from my children and others. So much that I don’t think anyone realizes that I’m really in a lot of pain but my big sister ,Shacopie/Guardian Angel, and those who Truely know me. I’m a believer in Christ, he keeps me level headed to keep pushing through my journey. I’ve had a many of blessings bestowed upon me, many being just the joy of being happy and what I call supernatural peace and many being just what we needed in the nic of time we needed it. Even through my struggle I know whiteout a doubt that we are blessed. I love God, Jesus, my children, family & friends, life and people in general. A car would take a huge load off my back right now. I feel blessed, if you only knew where I come from….I’m blessed to be where I am today and blessed because of where God is taking me. It’s taking sweat, tears, dedication, determination, Hard work, alot of Love and journeys to get me here and to keep me going. I’m not finished yet, far from it. I have alot of work myself to do out in the world for others, my time to do that is near and I want to be ready. I have so much love to give, that’s why I chose nursing. ❤

    I’m looking for help with my car repairs. The check engine light read 3 transmission codes and my car won’t drive over 40 MPR. I use this car to take my son to and drop school as well as work.

  23. Jordan S Green says

    Looking for help with car repair in Tulsa Oklahoma. The company I was working for ran out of work and my truck broke down. It lost all compression on cylinder number 4 and needs new lifters for 1200 dollars. The oil pressure sensor went out to and I put it in in the dealership to habit done because I thought I’d be working and got let go. They are charging me 530.40 for that. I found a mechanic to do the lifters for the above price but have no way to pay. It is extremely hard to find a job and get back and forth. I also use my vehicle to do the kind of work I do which is construction. I have no one to help me and I’m in desperate need. I’m an ex addict in recovery in veterans court in Tulsa oklahoma. I attend N/A meetings weekly and work an active 12 step program with a sponsor. I’m doing everything required of me and more. I also live in an Oxford house that I opened that is also a re-entry house for people coming out of prison. I help people all the time usually with rides to job interviews and meetings and getting setup so they can restart their lives. So any and all help would be very appreciated. Thank you!

  24. Looking for auto repair in New York City. My husband has MS and need our vehicle to get around. Our ac stoppes working mid summer and we also have no heat which worries me since winter is around the corner. Called 211/311 and they had no information. Thanks in advance.

  25. I dont see anything for help with car repairs in Missouri…specifically Jefferson County. I was living in my car and was in a wreck that totaled it. I managed to use the left over money for a car but It needs quite a few repairs, and I have no money. I relocated to my home state after getting no help in AZ from domestic abuse.

  26. tiffany Shuman says

    Hi I’m a disable perman i just get ssi and don’t get enough money to pay for car repair u my car need repairs see i don’t have anyone to take me around like to doctors,church,and shopping i need my car can someone please help me het my car fixed.

  27. I am a single mother of 2, recently had a job as a EMT here in the state of AZ, and was fired 4weeks later because my head gasket blew in my 99 Plymouth breeze and I couldn’t afford to fix it. I was a ward of the state( I have no family I can lean on for support or help.) My children’s father is in prison and has never helped or been around to help with anything for my kids. I am now receiving food stamps and unemployment and looking at eviction soon. I have been on countless interviews and I continue to run into the same issue of not being able to get to work on time with the use of public transportation, or the bus routes are non existent to the location I need to get to and I would have to walk more than 6miles total getting to and from work. (not that I’m complaining because I’ve always been very athletic, but during the monsoon/ dust storm season or during the hot summer months when it’s as hot as 120 degrees out it is just once again setting me up for frailer. I’m not looking for anyone to feel sorry for me, or give me anything for free because we all know the world does not really function like that. What I am asking for is any resources available in PHX AZ for reasonable car repairs.Taking a Uber is no longer an option because my bank account was closed from all the over draft fees from all the direct auto pays that I had set up from when I was working. I literally busted my tail to get through going back to school, working 80hours so I could afford all of the expenses associated with being a student. I am proud to say I am both State and Nationally Certified, but sadly after only working as an Emt for a little over a month will now never be able to work in the field again because I was fired from the biggest and now only EMS Corporations in the state, not because of poor performance but because I had no way to get to my scheduled shifts on time!! So frustrating, but life moves on I guess. At this point any resources that anyone may have would be more than helpful. I have tried going on YouTube and just watching tutorials on how to replace a head gasket, as I normally just teach myself to do my own car repairs by watching tutorials because I have never have the extra income to cover the cost of getting things fixed. this job is way over my head, and would be another huge expense just trying to purchase all the tools needed to complete. I am mentally exhausted, but wont give up my fight. I have 2 sets of eyes watching and waiting for me to get things back to how they use to be. IF ANYONE reading this has any knowledge on how I can be informed of recourses that will help my situation, I would really really appreciate it.

    Thanks for taking the time to read!!

  42. Hello, My name is Nancy G , I live in Lebanon NH, I am married to the greatest guy ever, my husband Vic. We live in a two room apartment with our kitty Blaze, which is fine by us. You see we met each other at a turning point in both our lives. We were both going through divorces, my husband had just recently gone through his a couple years prior to us meeting, but was still in that transitioning phase. Me I had just left a 7 year ….what I call a hibernation period in my life where nothing seemed to go any where in our marriage ,so I decided I wanted what was left of my life to be joyous and peaceful as I have many health issues. Vic and I have been tested a lot by the stresses of life, we lived in a hotel for our first year together, we tried to stay positive and look at it as our honeymoon :-)we have come a long way, we now have a two room apartment, and a 1999 Volvo that is dire need of repairs. We would love to be considered for help to repair our car. I believe it needs roughly $500-750 worth of work ,stabilizer link , struts? front tires, ect. Any consideration would be greatly appreciated.Nancy &Vic G

      Dear, Angel Help Network

      I would like to express and acknowledged that I am very glad that there exist a vehicle program which have taken into consideration the necessity for vehicle transportation families

      On Friday, I received a call for employment, the opportunity was for over forty hours a week, with the possibility of overtime. However, I was unable to accept the available employment opportunity, due to not having a vehicle to drive there. I do not have anyone to drive me to this location. I am currently unemployed as of just over a couple of weeks ago. I currently utilize the public transportation (Bus) to travel, however, the public transit system does not travel to the location where the employment was offered. I have also just began to utilize a bicycle in conjunction with the transit system to broaden my employment options, and availability. I have simply needed a vehicle to explore various employment options which are available.

      I had my own vehicle, however, after my vehicle was inoperable due to engine malfunction, I paid over two hundred and fifty dollars to repair my vehicle, and it had malfunction and stalled while driving it only a few miles after leaving the repair facility.

      Moreover, later consequently because I had No where to store, or park my vehicle for a extended period of time, consequently my inoperable vehicle was towed away.

      In addition, I had No person to Help with the very minimal fee to retrieve my Vehicle therefore, it was sold at auction, also there were still a few personal items leftover in my vehicle this occurred over a couple years ago or so, I have been without a vehicle since this occurred.

      I currently commute via the public transit bus system currently, and I even more recently have begun to utilize my bike in conjunction with the public transit system during the last couple of weeks to maximize my availability and employment options, and opportunities.

      I have an College education
      I am a Publish Author of a Crime Prevention book

      I Do Not use any drugs of any kind, nor illegal drugs and never have, because they have the ability to impair cognitive activity, reasoning, and mental focus, and I prefer to maintain cognitive ability for memory, focus concentration etc.

      I would appreciate any information that you may provide to locate a vehicle assistance for employment program within my general local area of Oakland, Michigan.

      Sincerely,

  43. Richard Joseph Ginocchi says

    Hi, I’m 34 years old and a recovering drug addict. I’ve been clean and in a program for almost 10 years now. I’ve been going back to school and only have 1 semester left to receive my first degree in GS and 2 semesters left for my Political Science degree. On top of that, I’ve been hired at my dream job. It required an F.B.I background check and I start the day I am cleared which will be any day now. I have a car. It’s a 2003 Toyota Camry. It overheated and I’ve paid every cent I had saved changing a thermostat and a radiator, but now they say I need to change the Head Gaskets. I’ve found the parts for $40 but the labor they want is insane. I would be willing to do anything at this point to help fix my car. If anyone anywhere has any suggestions please let me know. I live in Las Vegas NV. We are consistently rated the city with the worst public transportation in the country. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions.
    Sincerely,

  50. Jamie Mitchell says

    Dear Angels of Mercy: My name is Jamie Mitchell and I’m unemployed with 2 boys in high school. I am 52 years old and I have Type 1 diabetes as well as my 15-year old son. Our medications are very expensive even with assistance. The complications from 42 years of my chronic disease has given me chronic MRSA and limits my work opportunities. I have been struggling for for more than two years after my former employer got rid of me because of my diabetes and while it is in legal arena, I am losing everything. I am not gonna give up, though. I am currently driving a 2003 Kia Rio which is nearing 200,000 miles, but I have already put in $2,400+ into it after only paying $800. It is getting old and rigor mortis is days away. I am currently seeking assistance with repairs of another $300+ so I can drive at night as the lights stopped working recently. My check engine light has been on four times in a year and a half causing the thousands of dollars in repairs! I just cannot afford them anymore with not having steady income coming in. I recently had a wreck as a result in getting (4) new used tires for $110 and I sure did pay for that. My car fishtailed in the rain and I slammed into the guardrail on the entrance ramp causing major damage to the front rim and blowing out the front tire. I was going about 45-50 miles per hour and this was frightening to say the least. When will this season end. This will cost another $400-$450 to repair. The mother of my sons will not let my boys come and see me as she is afraid for their safety in this car and so am I. Currently, I cannot drive my vehicle at night, with my boys nor on the interstate or long distance(3 hours away) to see my sister who is going through chemotherapy for breast cancer. I have no friends or family, with additional funds, as times are tough for many people. I am hoping and praying to receive some help at this time. Is there some your company can do to assist me? If not, can you refer me to a company that can? I can be reached at 931-548-9949. Please call me as soon as you are able! Thanks and God Bless!!

    I am single mother of four kids and in need of a car. I’ve been struggling this past year. Lost my job, my home and my car. It’s been so hard trying to get to interviews, doctor appointments, go to grocery shopping and other business on the bus with four kids. Not having transportation has been hard to get my life back on track. I need help please.

  61. Theresa Straehl says

    I am 44yo Single Mother & Grandmother. I have an extreme emotional (psychological) disabled daughter 16yo who has been in & out of inpatient hospitals 13 times over past 3yrs. She can’t attend regular public school, therefore she attends an Alternative H.S. and is working hard towards Graduating in 2017. She is currently a Junior (11th grade). The school she attends in NOT in our District. I live in a rural area of Wisconsin & the local school district doesnt offer Alt Education. The school my daughter has been attending since Sept 2014 is about 20miles away. I have paid friends & family to transport her to & from school since Feb 2015. My car was salvaged after the engine block cracked in February. I am the SOLE caretaker & Legal Guardian of my 3yo granddaughter. Her mother is my oldest daughter who is 25yo. She has been an Addict, in & out of jail or rehab since pregnant with my granddaughter. I have raised my granddaughter since birth & became obtained custody 2yo after her Father died from Heroin overdose at age 23. My granddaughter has nobody else to care & provide for her since her mother is unable to, her Father is deceased & his side of Family won’t accept my granddaughter into their lives. She has NEVER met any family members from her Fathers side. She has been diagnosed as Severe Developmental Delay. Physically she is fine. She has learning disabilities & behavior problems. Nov 30 she will attend Early Child Education within the Elementary level of local school district. She will attend 5 days week, 3hr each day. The school provides transportation, however my granddaughter has extreme Sensory issues, where sounds (that most ppl don’t even notice) will throw her into full-blown meltdowns. The driver isn’t trained to handle such issues. My fear is that when the weather becomes colder, I won’t be able to provide some basic needs for BOTH my girls. I won’t be able to walk thru mounds of snow, carrying groceries & pushing a stroller with my granddaughter strapped in. I don’t have family to depend on, they passed away from Cancer. My only brother lives in Tennessee. I am a Breast Cancer Survivor myself. I HAVE worked ALL my adult life. Until the needs of both children came between work & having to care for them. I don’t regret having to give up very well-paying career. I would do anything for my Angels. Even asking for help, when I am so accustom to taking care of them on my own. My family is desperately in need of transportation. There is NO public transportation in my area for 30 miles. I contacted local County Agencies. There is no help for us, since the need for a reliable vehicle isn’t for getting & keeping a job. I DO WORK. Just not outside my home.

  63. Dominique Pace says

    Good morning, my name is Dominique Pace and I’m unemployed with 3 kids. I have been struggling for a while now just trying not to give up. I’m currently seeking assistance with repairing my vehicle to pass inspection. The check engine has been on for several months and I cannot afford the repairs. The back brakes went out yesterday as I was returning home with the kids from their school. We were terrified as the car slid all over the road. I was able to regain control and make it home safely driving very slow. I have no friends or family able to help at this time. Is there some your company can do to assist me? If not, can you refer me to a company that can? My phone number is 214 714 8689, please contact me asap!

Sadly,it takes me 2 hours on Marta to make a 15 to 20 minute commute by car. It is very stressful and costs more than the gas my old Saturn used. I am in need of a vehicle. I would appreciate ANY suggestions ! I am willing to agree to a Realistic payment plan.

    I am a therapist working with a family in Franklinton, NC. This family has just moved into an apartment after being homeless and living in shelters. The family is mom and 3 kids..12, 14, 15 (1 girl, 2 boys). The mom left the abusive dad, who has drug/alcohol problems about 9 months ago. One of the boys is my client that I see 3x’s a week to help him understand what happened in the past is not his fault. The client is making progress in accepting what happened is wrong and no one’s fault. Mom is so invested in her son’s treatment, she is trying very hard to be settled in a home, provide for her children and have a car so she can get a job. The bills get paid monthly and then the family has no money the last 10 days of the month.

    I am hoping you can help me find a car for the mom. Currently she has 500.00 to put towards a car. Please let me know what you find. I appreciate it your efforts.

    Thank you!
