GET VEHICLE HELP
Affordable vehicle care when standard repair costs are out of reach.
Good Samaritan Auto Care provides maintenance and many common repairs for people facing financial hardship. Our goal is to help neighbors remain connected to work, school, medical care, family responsibilities, and daily life.
Who We Serve
Our ministry is intended for people for whom standard commercial repair costs would create a serious financial hardship. Membership at Sandhills Community Church is not required to receive service.
How Pricing Works
-
GSAC provides vehicle maintenance and repair at substantially reduced cost. Customers are responsible for the cost of parts and an affordable service fee — rather than standard commercial labor rates.
-
Routine services generally have established fees.
-
Larger or unusual repairs are evaluated and priced individually, and expected costs are explained before work proceeds.
-
GSAC receives discounted pricing from a local parts supplier and passes those savings on to customers.
Outside Parts
To maintain the highest quality products and preserve manufacturer warranties, GSAC will only install parts we order. We will not be able to install outside parts provided by customers.
Services Commonly Provided

Before You Submit
-
Have the vehicle year, make, model, submodel, and 17-character VIN available.
-
Describe the symptoms or requested work as clearly as possible.
-
Please submit only one request per vehicle issue — duplicates slow the review process.
-
Submitting a request does not guarantee GSAC can perform the needed repair.

Services We Are Not Equipped to Provide
Good Samaritan Auto Care is not equipped to perform air-conditioning work, tire repair, tire replacement, transmission flushes, or complete transmission replacement. Because every vehicle is different, please submit a service request so our team can determine whether the needed work is within GSAC's capabilities — when we can't help, we may be able to recommend another local provider.
What Happens After You Submit a Request?

Complete the service request form once — duplicate forms slow the review process.
2
A member of the GSAC team reviews the request and contacts you.
3
​The team determines whether the repair is within GSAC’s capabilities and schedules the next step.

​When necessary, the vehicle is inspected and the repair plan is explained.
