**UPDATE CAR HAS BEEN FOUND** - more info in the pinned comment

**To my fellow shop owners and technicians:**

Do you have a vehicle sitting at your shop that's worth fixing, but the customer has decided they're done with it because the repairs are just too expensive?

If so, please reach out to me!

SD Charities Inc., our 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is looking to help a mother of two young children who is currently in an abusive situation and needs a way out.

I know a car isn't going to solve all of her problems, but it's one step toward independence, and it's something we can help with!

**I'm not asking for a handout!** We are willing to purchase the vehicle, make the necessary repairs, handle the title transfer and associated fees, and even cover her insurance for the first year.

And don't worry about distance! I don't mind a good road trip with a car trailer. The last time we did something like this, we drove 10 hours to another state to pick up a vehicle, and I'd gladly do it again!

We're not looking for anything fancy. Just something safe, reliable, and worth putting some work into.

If you have something that might fit, please leave a comment below or send me a private message, and we can connect from there!

Thank you, everyone!

In early at the shop to get some cleaning done on transmission pan , before heading out to try and bring up the younger generation of techs in joplin.
Bike ride was much needed getaway from wrenching but it’s what keeps me going the mental challenges of something different everyday. Ready to knock some stuff out this week , should have some of my younger guys coming to help at shop in next coming weeks

Early start at Moore’s Auto Repair today! 🏍️☀️

Taking care of some important fluid maintenance on a Jeep using BG Products! Keeping fluids clean and properly maintained helps extend the life of expensive components. Preventative maintenance is always cheaper than major repairs! 💪

Got a few jobs waiting on parts that UPS shows arriving late today and Monday. Can’t fix them until the parts show up! 📦😂

So I’m knocking out what I can early, then taking advantage of what little nice weather we have left this year for a relaxing motorcycle ride! 🏍️🍂

I’ll be back at it later Sunday and next week to finish things up!

Work hard, but don’t forget to enjoy life a little! 😎🔧

Good customer dropped off car said some one told them rearmainseal leak. I advised we would do a degrease and add dye and have them drive a few days and re check.

As you can see no rear main seal leak in first picture

There is a crank sensor above it starting to have a small drip , that more than likely collected and cause a false rear main seal diag. That’s why I always suggest a dye test for coolant , oil , fuel and ac leaks. So we aren’t guessing with peoples money

One of many I’m doing today. It’s not always the tool it’s being able to read what that tool gives you
