Brake lights
The Auburn Opelika DSA will fix anyone’s broken brake and tag lights for free at its drive-thru event Sunday, January 2021.
Emily Lahr, the community action committee chair for Auburn’s chapter, said they started offering the repairs for free about two years ago in an attempt to prevent unnecessary police stops, expensive tickets and fines and possible court appearances.
“We wanted to start a program to help our local community in some way and settled on changing people’s brake lights for free with the idea that we’re going to create safer driving habits and also reduce the number of tickets issued for victimless crimes,” Lahr said.
Mechanics and other members of the local DSA will perform the repairs with no appointment necessary at 838 Martin Luther King Drive next to the Corner Market in Auburn from 1-5 p.m. Lahr said the mechanics also provide other car-related repair advice should people need it without having to pay for a vehicle inspection.[1]
