In the middle of bustling Ho Chi Minh City, there is a car repair shop that is always lit up to serve customers with broken cars.
The repair shop attracts attention with a very simple but kind-hearted sign: "Repairing cars day and night, with money we fix, without money we fix, free self-inflating. Don't hesitate to call!".
Open 24/7
The owner of the repair shop is Mr. Vo Thanh Vinh (60 years old; address 691 Au Co, Tan Phu district, Ho Chi Minh City).
Mr. Vinh has been a car mechanic for over 30 years. He started out with a simple tool basket on the sidewalk of Lac Long Quan Street, Tan Binh District, before moving to his current location. This job has helped him raise two children to be successful in school and have a stable home.
Pointing to the words: "Don't be shy! Call 0903933170 now", Mr. Vinh said that the repair shop is always open 24/7 to serve customers. There are nights when he is sleeping but hears a customer calling and he wakes up to fix the car. Not only does he patch and inflate the car for free, Mr. Vinh is also willing to fix it for free if the person whose car is broken is in too much trouble.
In dirty clothes, hands and feet covered in oil, Mr. Vinh always has a gentle smile. "Day and night, any time, holidays or Tet, I am open. If people on the street have problems, just come to my shop. I don't have much, I'm just happy to help anyone" - Mr. Vinh said.
In a corner of the house, many old tires are neatly arranged. These are tires that customers came to replace, but Mr. Vinh saw that they were still new, so he kept them to install on those who could not afford to buy new ones. That is the reason why Mr. Vinh's repair shop is always crowded with customers, especially students and workers. Understanding the shop owner's heart, some customers who have the means to repair their cars "fight" to pay for the money for those in need.

So everyone can go home...
Every day, Mr. Vinh receives dozens of calls asking for free car repairs, mainly from students and poor workers. When he receives calls, he enthusiastically gives them the address and tells them to bring their cars to the shop. And so, the good news spreads far and wide.
Workers living and working near the auto repair shop all know about Mr. Vinh’s good deeds. Therefore, whenever they see someone having vehicle problems, they immediately direct them to his shop.
Mr. Nguyen Van Vy - 46 years old, a motorbike taxi driver - is a regular "customer" of the shop. Sympathizing with Mr. Vy's difficult life, Mr. Vinh has never taken money to repair his motorbike.
The aftermath of an accident left Mr. Vinh with muscle atrophy and a crippled leg since childhood. This has significantly affected his mobility. However, not a single customer who comes to the shop is bothered, on the contrary, they are even more impressed.
The shop's customers grew, forcing Vinh to hire more workers. Whatever he had left over, he shared with the workers, understanding that they had to take care of their wives and children.
Many times his wife and children advised him to quit his job, but he ignored them, because with those small repair shops, he has helped many unfortunate people who lost their way home. That simple joy is also the motivation for the kind-hearted repairman to stick with this meaningful job. "People call me when they need it, and when I can help them, I feel happy and relieved, so I will work until I have no more strength," Mr. Vinh confided.
