Kent Auto Body Experts is hosting Keys for Christmas 2026, a community Christmas event focused on helping a local family or individual who truly needs reliable transportation.

We will be giving away a 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon. People will be able to scan a QR code and submit an application explaining why they or someone they know needs a vehicle and how receiving one
would impact their life.

Location: 19249 84th Ave S, Kent, WA 98032

Do You Know Someone Who Needs a Car?

We want to hear their story. You can nominate yourself, a family member, friend, coworker, neighbor, or someone in
the community who is currently struggling without reliable transportation.

The application will ask:

• Why you or the person you are nominating needs a vehicle
• What the current transportation situation is
• How reliable transportation would improve everyday life
• How receiving this vehicle could impact family, employment, education, or other important responsibilities

Every submitted story will be reviewed by our team together with participating local business partners. Several applicants may be contacted before the event so we can learn more about their situation. From those applications, one recipient will be selected based on genuine transportation need and the positive impact the vehicle could have on their life.

The Big Reveal

The recipient of the Mercedes will be officially announced during Keys for Christmas on December 19, 2026. We want the final presentation to be a special moment for the recipient, their family, our business partners, and everyone attending the event. The selected recipient will receive the keys to the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Wagon during the Christmas celebration.
