Who We Are
The Samaritan Car Care Clinic offers a lifeline to working poor families in Northern Kentucky. 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.”

Earlier this week, the Samaritan Car Care Clinic was able to sell a safe and reliable car to Life Learning Center employee David. David’s existing car was pretty much at the end of its life, and having it break down was a near constant threat. Fortunately the Clinic received a donated Lincoln MKZ sedan that still has a lot of life left. Now the Lincoln has a new home with David!

At the Samaritan Car Care Clinic, we have 3 repair bays, but we also have a Book Bay! Thanks to generous donors who stock the Book Bay, kids who are waiting at the shop with their parent/guardian can read and also take a book home with them.
These happy kids were with their mom at one of the recent volunteer-led maintenance events, and were thrilled when they realized that they could take the book home with them that they were reading!

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, volunteers hosted a maintenance event at the Samaritan Car Care Clinic. The volunteers were able to do 16 oil changes and vehicle inspections in just under 4 ½ hours. Thank you to all our volunteers and everyone who helps make this possible!

Last week, the Samaritan Car Care Clinic was able to do a title transfer for Be Concerned client Bridget. Two months ago, the Clinic received an older donated Chevrolet pickup truck. Yes, some rust, but definitely life left. Thanks to everyone who helped make this a great day for Bridget!

No car to give? A cash donation funds the next repair, the next placement, the next family.

The number one reason people delay donating a car?
They can't find the title.
Here's what you need to know in Kentucky:
A missing title is a paperwork problem — not a dealbreaker.
→ Apply for a duplicate at your county clerk's office (Form TC96-182)
→ The title must be notarized before transfer — and we have a notary on staff to help.
→ Not sure where to start? Call SCCC — we've seen most title situations
Don't let a missing piece of paper keep a family from getting a car.

Rather give cash? No title needed for that — samaritancarcare.org

Staci, a former Brighton Center customer, was able to qualify for a microloan through St. Vincent de Paul - Northern Kentucky to purchase a new-to-her van through the Samaritan Car Care Clinic.
These vehicle placements are made possibly by generous vehicle donations and financial donations that support the needed repairs.
Many thanks to the volunteers at SVdPNKY that help support the microloan program for neighbors in need.
