💙 Community is what it’s all about! 💙

Garage 31 was proud to spend Sunday volunteering at and attending the 2026 Batavia Community Dinner Table! 🍽️

This special fundraiser brings 200 neighbors together at one very long community table with an important mission — helping combat food insecurity right here in our local community. ❤️

It was an incredible day filled with great food, wonderful conversations, familiar faces, new friends, and a whole lot of community spirit.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who organized, volunteered, donated, attended, and helped make this meaningful event possible. We’re grateful to be part of a community where people come together, pull up a chair, and help take care of their neighbors.

🎉💙 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR PRESIDENT, BETH! 💙🎉

Today we’re celebrating the woman who keeps Garage 31 running, organized, and moving in the right direction — our President, Beth! 🥳

Beth wears about a million hats around here. She works hard behind the scenes, keeps everyone on track, supports our crew, jumps into our community events, and puts so much heart into Garage 31. 🔧💙

We’re incredibly lucky to have her leading, encouraging, and occasionally keeping the rest of us out of trouble. 😂

Please help us wish Beth a VERY Happy Birthday! 🎂🎈🎁

We hope your day is filled with lots of laughs, a little relaxation, and absolutely NO Garage 31 problems to solve! 😂💙

Happy Birthday, Beth! We appreciate everything you do! 🎉

🐾🔧 Happy National Dog Day from Garage 31! 🔧🐾

Today, we’re celebrating the four-legged members of the Garage 31 family! 🐶💙

They may not know how to change your oil, diagnose a check engine light, or rotate your tires… but they’re experts at boosting morale, supervising snack breaks, and leaving a little extra fur everywhere. 😂🐾

Here’s to the Dogs of Garage 31 — our cutest crew members! 💙

Drop a picture of YOUR pup in the comments so we can celebrate them too! 🐕🐾

🎉 Happy Birthday to the man, the myth, the legend — John! 🎂🔧💙

John may be semi-retired, but anyone who knows him knows his heart is still very much at Garage 31. ❤️ He has poured years of hard work, dedication, and knowledge into making Garage 31 what it is today.

These days, he might not be at the shop every minute, but as our CEO, he’s never too far away — offering advice, sharing his wisdom, checking in, and making sure we’re all keeping the wheels turning. After all, you can semi-retire from the shop…but apparently you can’t retire from being the boss! 😂

Garage 31 wouldn’t be what it is without you, John. We’re incredibly grateful for everything you’ve built and everything you continue to do for our Garage 31 family.

Happy Birthday, John! We appreciate you! 💙🔧🚗
