(LaPorte, IN) - Some local mechanics are reaching out to medical and emergency responders.

Cannon’s Automotive and Condon & Christ Automotive are offering free labor

to fix the vehicles of doctors, nurses, firefighters, police officers and paramedics.

Owner Eric Smith says the offer is not for a simple oil change.

It’s for work that will get a car rolling again in these trying times where emergency

responders must be able to reach the workplace.

Smith says the offer is good until the coronavirus emergency is lifted
