Carmen needs my school-run minibus repaired to get back to work in Los Angeles
Without my school-run minibus Carmen cannot work; a $1,650 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,650. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,100
• Labor charges: $360
• Towing and inspection: $190
Glad we found this place.
