​Jay’s Automotive has once again put its community-first values into action by donating more than $2,500 in parts and repair services to a local veteran through their ongoing “Jay’s Give Back” initiative.  The recipient, known locally as Fran, is a former Army veteran who came to Colorado in 1972 and ran a construction business for nearly four decades. Now retired and living just north of Eaton, Fran survives on a limited income from Social Security, supplementing it by raising and selling a few calves each year. His primary vehicle, a 2000 Ford F-550 crew cab flatbed with over 300,000 miles, had been out of commission for nearly a year. Financial hardship prevented Fran from affording repairs or registration fees. “Fran is the kind of person who spent his life building and serving,” said a representative from Jay’s Automotive. “It’s an honor for us to return the favor and get him back on the road.” Jay’s Give Back Program is a community-driven program that provides free repairs, parts or even cars to individuals facing financial difficulty. Community members are encouraged to nominate deserving individuals for future assistance.
