I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $400 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $250
• Labor charges: $70
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $80
Glad we found this place.

Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of San Nicolás de los Garza.
