RepairSmith Offers Up $250K in Free Repairs To Nonprofits

Los Angeles-based on-demand, mobile automotive repair service RepairSmith announced this week that it will provide up to $250,000 in free repair service to nonprofits focused on advancing socioeconomic, racial and ethnic equality, in the company's service area. According to the company, Jump Start, its new program, will allow any non-profit which meets its program criteria to apply for up to $10,000 in free services for its passenger and light duty vehicles. The company says it aims to remove the financial burden of car repair for nonprofit organizations. The company said its first non-profit partner is Project Angel Food, which helps deliver healthy meals to feed people impacted by serious illness; that nonprofit apparently drives over 125,000 miles through LA County every year to delivery food to people living with cancer, heart disease, kidney failure and HIV/AIDS. RepairSmith is led by CEO Joel Milne. The company offers up mobile, on-demand automotive repair, requested via its app or on its website; the company is backed by Daimler AG.
