Making a Difference Together
Our Mission
ADV Garage Foundation is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
We rebuild, restore, and auction salvaged cars—donating the entirety of the proceeds as urgent financial support to individuals and families in crisis. We do what we know best: working with our hands and fixing what others call totaled—to help those who feel the same. Our model transforms passion into direct financial relief, fueled by community and built on transparency. Through hard work and shared effort, we provide meaningful assistance—from families overwhelmed by medical bills to promising students striving for the resources to pursue their dreams.
