Auto Department
The Rescued Wheels Auto Department refurbishes your used vehicle and offers the opportunity for low income or homeless people to start over and have a second chance. Rescued Wheels also offers general auto repair to the public.
Our Auto Department provides career opportunities while reselling donated vehicles at low, affordable prices for low-income members of our community.
Check out our selection of vehicles for sale on facebook HERE.
Our Auto Department building is located directly behind the Mission on the north side of the railroad tracks. Cars and trucks may be donated to the auto department whether they run or not. We can pick up the vehicle that you would like to donate, from you. You will be given a tax-deductible receipt for your donation.
Through our vocational training program, vehicles are assessed for safety, repaired and resold.
You can help our Auto Sale Department by:
1. Donating Your Vehicle
We need your unwanted car or truck. Your donations are what keep our program going. Allowing us to resell your vehicle allows us to use the funds that we make from the sale to provide a safe and warm shelter, food, clothing and job training to the homeless. Please call 269-743-1288 for more information.
2. Donating Tools and Parts
We need your working hand, electric or pneumatic tools; which we can use while working on donated cars. Many car parts from spark plugs to cars that don’t run are also useful to us. If you have any questions on a part or tool you would like to donate, call our auto manager, Scott at 269-743-1288.
3. Volunteering in our Auto Department
We have many opportunities available in our auto department including mechanical work, general cleaning and organizing, car detailing, data entry and wrecker drivers. If you have a desire to help out in any of these areas please call the Volunteer Coordinator at 269-345-2974, ext. 203.
4. Telling A Friend
We have found that the best source of donations come from word of mouth. Would you please tell someone what we do? We appreciate our community and want to help the least, the last and the lost.
