Summertime is a busy season with family holidays and lots of activities. But like many times of the year, it is important to continue supporting local charities and non-profit groups that are helping our community every day.
Small businesses like ours are vital to charities and community outreach programs because we are able to support a wide variety of groups based on your valued business. It’s important for us to give back to our local groups that are providing help with food and clothing programs, assistance to the elderly, youth programs, and many others including Christian Children’s Fund of Canada, CareForce International and Auto Repair Shop-In-A-Box.
The old saying that “Charity Begins at Home” is important to us because it is generally grassroots efforts from local citizens and small businesses that provide both money and services to groups that rely on our support to provide assistance to those in need.
We are proud to support local charities like Auto Repair Shop-In-A-Box. It’s an important part of our mission as a local business and we appreciate your support of Eastside Auto Service that allows us to be a community activist helping to make our community a better place to live and work!
Our Charity of the Month is Auto Repair Shop-In-A-Box.
Auto Repair Shop-In-A-Box is shipping this month to it’s destination!
Thank you for your support for this ongoing charity project.
Eastside Auto Service will continue donate $5.00 to Auto Repair Shop-In-A-Box for every online appointment scheduled for the month of August. Book your Online Appointment Here.

In November 2007, I had the opportunity to visit Burkina Faso, West Africa to help with CareForce International’s Village of Hope. During my time there as I helped with the construction projects in the Village of Hope, I began to see that many of the equipment and tools in the village were in desperate need of repair and maintenance, including diesel generators, mopeds, motorcycles, a bulldozer, tractor, and numerous other items.
These repairs presented specific challenges as the local parts store is not just down the street. Often times, pieces had to be fabricated or reworked and repaired to bring the equipment back to life. It was a truly amazing experience, and it made me think outside the box to complete the task at hand, including engaging the children of the village to help at times. They would hold a wrench, swing a hammer, or sand a surface to prepare for installation.
Out of this experience came the realization that the children have a true desire to learn, but needed the resources and training to provide that opportunity. After brainstorming ideas at the Village of Hope, a concept called “Auto Repair Shop-In-A-Box” was born. Click here to learn more about Auto Repair Shop-in-a-Box.
This month, Canadian Technician interviewed me and published an article about Auto Repair Shop-in-a-Box. You can read the full article by going to this link: http://www.canadiantechnician.com/features.cfm?intDocID=2969
We need lots of help with this program, in particular donations of equipment and tools that you may have laying somewhere collecting dust. We are asking that the used tools and equipment that is donated be in good working order. My staff and I are willing to make minor repairs, but please be sure that the equipment works. So, if you are upgrading and looking for a home for your old equipment; if you are done with that older battery charger, or tester, or balancer, or whatever it is that’s collecting dust in the corner, there is a use for it that will make a huge difference in the lives of those children.
Please contact me if you have any questions about this program or would like to help or send donations.
Thank you,
Glenn
