Vehicle Restoration

The Mechanics & Vehicle Restoration Program at Live.Grow.Share. offers participants an opportunity to a hands-on approach to learning the dynamics of vehicle repair. Working alongside our Certified Master Mechanic, this program provides therapeutic services while engaging in an educational environment. From oil changes, tire rotations, and small repairs to mechanics adventures and field trips, we give our participants a unique way to learn and grow.

The community recently donated 3 vehicles to the Mechanics program that we are so excited to start working on. Over this next quarter we will be working to restore each of these vehicles. Working closely with your Peer Support Specialist learning the art and craft of vehicle restoration. You will learn basic to advanced skill at the mechanics program with out mechanics expert Steve Patterson. In out Mechanics class outing we will go over everything from changing oil, body restoration, changing tires to full on engine repairs. Join our crew to collaborate as a team, learn new skills, fix cars, and build friendships!
