Please help me to purchase a building to open a sliding scale general auto repair facility. Finances are a worry for many in today's society and people are struggling to afford to maintain their vehicles properly. People are struggling to even find a back yard mechanic they can afford let alone trust.

A sliding scale general auto repair facility would be the break many need in today's world. We see sliding scale dentists and sliding scale doctors but no sliding scale mechanic facilities because of overhead costs of renting and running a shop. We are looking to lower those costs for all who would come to the community based sliding scale auto repair shop. Where you could get your car repaired or maintained based off your income.

It was my dream when I opened my auto repair facility to help people however in today's market my costs only keep rising which is forcing me to raise my prices on the community. It is my dream to open a shop where you can go to and afford vehicle repair even if you work a minimum wage job. I would like to keep the costs below $50 an hour for vehicle repairs if possible. Maybe even $30 an hour for some. Some only $15 an hour or maybe free at times. Labor only of course. I do not control parts pricing. However I can control how much above my cost they are offered for and in many cases at cost would be ideal. For those who could afford normal pricing that would help to pay for the ones who could not afford much. It's a pay it forward kind of shop that I want to create in the world.

If I had a building of my own that I only had insurance and taxes to pay for that would make this all possible. However at this time I pay quite a bit in rent and cannot afford to keep my rates as low as I would prefer to. I am asking for help to offer this to our area in hopes it also starts a trend of people offering lower pricing to bring prices back to some affordability in America. Help me to help America and the people in it. I would like to be the first sliding scale mechanics shop in America and if not the first one of the ones to offer such an amazing thing to the people in our area. People from all over the country will be welcome to come and take advantage of this amazing offer of truly affordable auto repair and maintenance. It is all up to the people. Will they support this endeavor and help me to raise the money needed to purchase a building? Will they help to purchase a shop so there can be a sliding scale general auto repair facility in America? The Community Auto Care Facility! I am trying to gather at least $500,000 to start this endeavor for a sliding scale mechanics shop!

If someone would donate me a building or help me to purchase one I would be honored to open the first sliding scale general auto repair shop in the country.

Many people are offering suggestions to how people could pay for mechanical work. My fiancee suggested a sliding scale. Another suggested a monthly rate for X amount of hours offered for X amount of time. Almost like an insurance or guarantee that labor is covered no matter what the problem is. I liked both suggestions. I will listen to any suggestion from anyone but my plan is to open a sliding scale general automotive repair facility if the people will come together and provide me a building. :) I would be honored to help anyone who needed my help that I was capable of helping. I truly enjoy what I do. I breathe life back into vehicles. I repair vehicles and keep your families safe. I would like to do it for more people and not have to worry about how much their being charged. Just as long as it was enough to keep it all going it is enough for me and my family. I opened my auto repair shop to make sure people had an honest shop to go to that watched out for them. I would like to take it further and be their sliding scale mechanic's shop! Please help me to offer this to everyone who needs it.
