Twin Cities garages offer low-cost repairs on old cars to reduce emissions

MINNEAPOLIS — In the bays of the nonprofit Lift Garage in Minneapolis, mechanics are on a mission to provide low-cost auto repairs.

“We serve Minnesotans that are at 150% of the federal poverty guideline or lower. For a family of three people that’s in the $30,000 range,” said Atom Robinson, service manager at the Lift Garage.

That leaves no budget for a serious setback.

“We’ve been able to save thousands of dollars for our customers, replacing exhaust systems that they probably wouldn’t have gotten done otherwise,” said Robinson.

It’s all because of Project Clean Air Repair.
