Community | Fix It Forward Auto Care

We love our community.

Community involvement is a core value for all of us here at Fix It Forward Auto Care. We understand that it is vital for fostering stronger, more resilient communities, empowering residents, and promoting positive change by building connections, improving services, and fostering a sense of shared responsibility.

Beyond our efforts at our non profit Fix It Forward Ministry, you will find many of our team members engaging in opportunities to connect with others in our community to build relationships and demonstrate greater transparency, which can help us build trust in our business.
