This Minnesota shop wants to help keep your car safe and legal — for free

There’s nothing that ruins a road trip faster than seeing red and blue lights in the rear-view mirror. You cross your fingers, hoping for a short conversation and a warning. But unfortunately, as recent events have demonstrated, even routine stops occasionally have tragic outcomes.

Unity Autoworks, an automotive repair and customizing shop in Minneapolis, Minnesota wants to help you avoid those stops. They’ll replace broken taillights and give your car a full safety check, for free, indefinitely.

Unity Autoworks made the offer on social media, posting the phone number and asking people to make appointments. Flooded with requests, they began opening pop up auto shops at community events to perform these services and ensure that everyone can drive a safe and legal car. In a post on Facebook, they announced their plan to hold an event every month.

No matter how you look at it, this service is a wonderful gift to their community. Here’s hoping more shops see the light (pun intended) and follow their example.
