Ways to Support

When you make a gift to The Lift Garage you’re providing low-cost car repair, free pre-purchase inspections – and more! – to customers who meet the income requirements of 150% of Federal Poverty Guidelines.

Legacy and Planned Giving


We share your commitment to low-cost, quality car repair. Because of this shared commitment we invite you to leave a lasting legacy by gifting a percentage of your estate to The Lift Garage.

To make things easier for you, we’ve partnered with FreeWill, an online tool to help you write your legal will in 20 minutes – and for free! Creating a will is one of the most impactful ways to care for the people and causes you love. If you choose, you can include a gift to The Lift Garage. Resources you can use through FreeWill:

  1. Create a legal will in 20 minutes or update your current will by creating and executing a new will
  2. Easily plan beneficiaries for non-probate assets in one convenient place
  3. Report a gift that you’ve already left to The Lift in your estate plan

If you have questions or need help please contact Becca at becca@theliftgarage.org or 612-447-6160.
