<div>Help Starkey's Auto Repair Rebuild After a Devastating Fire

</div>

<div>On December 3, 2024, our world was turned upside down. At Starkey's Auto Repair, a trusted general auto repair shop, a jump pack spontaneously combusted and exploded, causing a massive fire. The blaze destroyed a significant portion of our shop, resulting in damages exceeding $1,000,000. What wasn’t engulfed in flames was damaged beyond repair by smoke, water, or heat. The loss is staggering—not just in tools and equipment but in the heart and soul of a business built on trust, integrity, and hard work.

<div>While we work tirelessly to rebuild, our greatest concern is our team. Our employees are more than workers; they’re family. They’ve stood by our side through thick and thin, helping us grow and serve our community. Now, in the wake of this tragedy, we are committed to standing by them. We want to ensure they continue receiving their paychecks as we navigate this challenging time together.

<div>In addition to covering employee support, we need help replacing the tools and equipment that were essential to our daily operations. These tools weren’t just items on a shelf—they were the lifeblood of our shop, enabling us to provide reliable and high-quality service to our customers. The cost to replace them is overwhelming, but with your help, we can rebuild stronger than ever.

<div>Finally, we want to do something meaningful for our team during this season of giving. Despite the devastation, we remain committed to holding a Christmas party for our staff. It’s a small way to bring some light into a dark time, celebrate their resilience, and show them how much they’re valued.

<div>We are reaching out to you—our community, friends, family, and supporters—for help. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference. Your contribution will go directly toward supporting our employees, replacing critical tools, and ensuring we can come together as a team for the holidays.
