Helping people move toward economic self sufficiency.
A car takes you far!

Who We Help

The Samaritan Car Care Clinic works on a referral basis with Northern Kentucky social service agencies to help low-income families with car repairs.  Repairs are done using a shared-cost model with the goal of helping the families get to their jobs and stay on the path to self-sufficiency.

What We Do

  • Change engine oil

  • Replace air filters

  • Replace wiper blades

  • Replace bulbs

  • Top-off fluids

  • Inflate tires

  • General car repairs

    • (when funding is available)

Who We Are

The Samaritan Car Care Clinic offers a lifeline to working poor families.  Our services enable these families to maintain their cars, allowing them to access jobs and transport family members to school and health care appointments.

“This is a great service.  It is different than what others provide.  Others do the normal services like food, but changing my oil is so great because my car is important to me.  If I can’t get to my job, I can’t pay my bills.”

– Samaritan Car Care Clinic Participant

Clinic Director, Bruce Kintner, was invited to participate in the Rotary Club of Cincinnati Jefferson Award presentation held on March 20, 2025. The Rotary Club of Cincinnati had selected the Clinic as a 2024 local Jefferson Award recipient, which then qualified the Clinic for national consideration. Fortunately the Clinic was honored last year to receive a national Jefferson Award as well.

Many thanks to Rotary Club of Cincinnati for including the Samaritan Car Care Clinic as a past honoree in this year's event!

Valvoline has been an incredible in-kind-donation partner of the Samaritan Car Care Clinic since 2007. Shown here on a chilly February 18 morning is Valvoline Cincinnati Warehouse Team Leader Ryan Schultz loading another pallet of donated engine oil.
