Membership

Corner Garage Co-op is customer owned co-operative. Having our direction and management democratically controlled by the community is our way of helping the Atlanta area build its social infrastructure. You shouldn’t have to be rich to own part of a business in your community. We want anyone to be able to walk through our doors and become a customer, or even an owner.

Incorporation

Now that it’s the 20s again, we’re sure you’re looking for somewhere to restore that rusted out Ford Model T or Bentley Speed Six that your great grandparents once drove, and we’ve got good news on that front: Corner Garage has just filed paperwork to incorporate in the state of Georgia! While this doesn’t mean we’ll be opening any time soon, it does mean that we’ll be able to kick off a funding drive and start accepting memberships.

Moving to Atlanta

Corner Garage is hitting the road! These last few months we’ve been hard at work putting together a board, designing print materials, and pitching Corner Garage to anyone who would listen but we’ve decided it’s time to make a change: Corner Garage will no longer be opening in Austin. Instead, we’re uprooting once again and going back to the city of Atlanta, GA!

Join the Board

One of the last things Corner Garage needs before we can start seeking funding is a dedicated board of directors to see us through our formative period. If you’re a Texas resident who’s passionate about cars, car repair, or even just the cooperative business model, consider running for the board of directors.
