I stumbled upon this organization while looking up how to help my mom get repairs done to her car that she couldn't put off anymore.  She doesn't make much and couldn't afford what people were asking for brakes and other little stuff. Jason is an amazing person with a heart of pure gold. I couldn't believe how fast he got the repairs done! He even took extra time out of his day to fix my mom’s muffler that had come completely apart!  He made us so comfortable with friendly conversation! God bless him and his organization!!! I can't thank you guys enough.  My mom is safe to drive her car to and from work now.  For months it was a constant fear every time we had to drive it, because it’s our only vehicle.

Dmitri discovered Mechanics of FAITH through a referral from Change the World RVA (an organization focused on helping youth facing housing insecurity).  Dmitri had purchased a 2003 Toyota Celica to help him get to work and get his parents and older siblings to medical appointments.  He also wanted to be able to visit his Grandmother that lived in Charlottesville.

Dmitri barely made enough to keep the car running and help his family with regular expenses.  He could not afford anything additional for repairs to the car.  Any major repairs would mean the loss of his transportation which would cascade into other problems. 

When a check engine light came on, he took it to be repaired and they wanted to charge him $2000+ to fix the issue (more than the car was worth).  He took it to Jason and it was a $50 part.  The repair only took a couple of hours.  For a young person who felt like the world was against him, it was great to meet “trustworthy people that are there to help.”
