JumpStart Auto Repair

Our Story

Three years ago, two domestic violence agencies came together to discuss a recurring problem. Too many domestic abuse victims were unable to leave an abusive relationship because they didn’t have the safe, reliable transportation they needed to get employment or education and become self-sufficient.

With that problem came an opportunity. The organizations learned 65% of auto repair decisions are made by women.

The idea for Jumpstart, LLC – a garage for good – was born.

JumpStart Auto Repair is an auto repair facility offering a purple carpet experience designed especially for female customers. The profits from each appointment are used to fund auto repairs for domestic violence survivors.

Step 1: You bring your vehicle to JumpStart for auto repairs or maintenance.

Step 2: We perform the service. You pay the bill.

Step 3: We use the profits to perform auto repairs and maintenance for domestic abuse survivors.

How JumpStart is Different

As a garage for good, JumpStart is different in three ways:

Giving the Purple Carpet Treatment – Purple is a color of courage and creativity, and is the symbol of support for survivors of domestic violence. With our Purple Carpet Treatment, you can expect a warm, personal experience, open, honest answers about your vehicle and the knowledge you are making a difference.
Sparking Change – Profits from our work help keep domestic abuse survivors on the road to self-sufficiency. Our educational workshops will help women feel more comfortable and confident about vehicle ownership.
Bringing More Women into Auto Repair Careers – Fewer than 10% of all auto repair technicians are women. JumpStart will help change that by introducing more women to these well-paying, family-supporting careers.
