I make my living with my taxi. 5 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $650. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $650 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $420 • Labor charges: $115 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $85 • Towing and inspection: $30 Thank you so much.
