Brighton Mechanics Help out Red Cross
Michigan mechanics were the focus of a breakthrough story in kindness when they helped fix a Red Cross van free of charge. Mechanics at A&H Transmission and Auto Repair in Brighton were the ones responsible for this incredible act of kindness.
Diane Serra, executive director of the Livingston County chapter, said the 1998 Dodge Caravan had been used as a secondary field vehicle for response to disasters and emergencies. However, volunteers hadn’t used the minivan for months because it made so much noise and the dashboard lights were always going on. The vehicle had 120,000 miles on it, and the organization didn’t have the money to fix it.
The van was primarily used to rush supplies to emergency situations before its problems. The mechanics performed over $1,500 in repairs including fixing the brakes, struts, sway bar link, and performing a front end alignment and oil change. During hard economic times, A & H has stepped up and performed a kind act for a good cause. This is not the first time they’ve helped those in need, though.
Two years ago, the mechanics at A&H spent their own time fixing up a donated 1995 Ford Escort station wagon that was given to a Livingston County woman who was a survivor of domestic violence.
