Free shop service for some

A Sacramento body shop is launching a program to provide free quarterly service to needy motorists in the Sacramento metropolitan area.

Franklin Auto Body Inc., 6448 Franklin Blvd., said it will do body repairs and painting and provide a warranty to persons who have “a true need to get their vehicle repaired and (who) may not have the means to do so.”

The business said there will be no charge for services performed on the car of a person chosen every three months. Shop workers will make arrangements to transport selected vehicles to Franklin Auto Body and then back to their owners.

Shop spokesman Brian McKinney said the business is seeking requests for service from the public. He said requests should “include a brief explanation as to why a person feels they should be chosen, their story … and pictures of their vehicle.”

Requests can be mailed to the shop with a 95823 ZIP code. They also can be sent online at www.franklinautobodyinc.com via a link.

For more details, call Franklin Auto Body at (916) 395-2500.
