Quinn Oliver can’t fix anything. Not cars, not magic, and worst of all, not her family.

For generations, Quinn’s family has owned the Little Tire Shop, a magical mechanic shop that pops up wherever it is most needed. But after the death of her grandfather, the magic of the shop—and her grandfather’s legacy—is dying, the building beginning to crumble. Even worse, Quinn’s family is breaking apart, dissolving into arguments about selling the shop.

But Quinn can fix it. Having just gotten her license, it’s her turn to complete the family’s tradition of making an addition to her grandfather’s 1970 VW Beetle in the Little Tire Shop—the Oliver family way of taking your place in the family. Everyone hopes completing this tradition will revive the shop’s magic—and heal their fracturing family. But Quinn is only gifted in making a mess when she stands over the hood of the car, so how is she supposed to fix the shop—and her family’s grief?
