WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) — Mechanics at a Wichita repair shop spent their Saturday giving back to the community.
Christian Brothers Automotive, located on W 29th St N, held its National Service Day, offering free maintenance to single mothers and widows. Mechanics performed services like oil changes, wiper blade inspections and minor repairs to about 150 vehicles.
Christian Brothers franchise owner Jesse Schemm said it’s all about fulfilling their calling of helping people in need.
“Regular maintenance is one of the cheapest, easiest things you can do to keep your car on the road, and so, if nothing else, we can give these ladies a fresh oil change for the year, give them a fresh start here before winter, and help can identify some of those needs that would potentially leave them on the side of the road,” said Schemm.
Some of the parts and supplies used to make repairs were donated by organizations around Wichita.
Nearly 300 Christian Brothers locations nationwide participated in the National Service Day event.
