Auto Repair
For military families that are coping with deployment or injury recovery, Operation Homefront offers auto repair assistance through authorized service centers for the vehicle that serves as the primary means of transportation. The average cost of a vehicle repair is around $700 with some repairs exceeding $2,500. For anyone, that unexpected amount can be a burden on the monthly budget. For a family already coping with the stress of deployment or injury recovery, the expense can be devastating. Medical appointments, school attendance, grocery store trips all require safe transportation, and by providing this critical service, Operation Homefront helps ease our service members' financial and emotional burdens.
We cover:
- Towing services
- Diagnostic services
- General Repair services
We do not cover:
- Routine maintenance (tire rotations, tune ups, oil changes)
- Second vehicle repairs
- Repairs of modified or vintage vehicles
- Vehicle purchases
- Incidents that occurred prior to deployment or incurred injury
Even Heroes Need Some Help
Our service members and their families are heroes to us. Some are everyday heroes and some are uncommon ones. Most would not consider themselves heroes, rather they tell us they were just doing their job. Doing their job, means preserving our freedom. Please help us, continue to help them. To learn more about our programs and to find out how you can help, please contact our national office or your local Operation Homefront office.
