Who We Are

Sees What's Possible When We See the Person

We all know people in need, and most of us have gone through seasons of life where things were tough. At 5:10 Cars, we try to be part of life-change as people come out of very difficult circumstances — whether those are caused by broken homes, families, finances, or any number of situations.

We're not experts on fixing those situations, but we are skilled at fixing cars. We've found that quite often, a reliable vehicle is one of the keys to helping someone transition out of very difficult circumstances and seasons of life.

Five:Ten Cars is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission — to fix donated vehicles that have seen much better days and give them to people in need so they can have much better days.

"I've been working on cars as a master service technician for 30 years. After some soul-searching, prayers, and the encouragement of men in my church group, I decided to do something about it. And so, Five:Ten Cars became a reality in 2025."

— Scott, Founder

The Process

How It Works

Working with wonderful organizations like The Drake House, we've developed a simple, transparent model.

Step 1

Need Identified

Organizations like The Drake House identify individuals who need a reliable vehicle to rebuild their lives.

Step 2

Vehicle Found

5:10 Cars locates a suitable donated or affordable vehicle — often one that needs significant repair work.

Step 3

Donors Fund It

Generous donors like you fund the purchase and repair of the vehicle so it's road-ready and reliable.

Step 4

We Fix It

Our master technician and volunteer mechanics repair the vehicle with professional-grade service.

Step 5

Life Changed

The vehicle is presented to the recipient — and with it, a renewed sense of freedom, dignity, and hope for the journey ahead.

"I couldn't believe it. I was struggling to get my kids to school, to my job, to doctor appointments. When they gave me that car, it felt like someone finally saw me. I cried the whole drive home."
