I make my living with my school-run minibus. 4 weeks ago the rear axle 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 1 children. 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $650 goes: โ€ข rear axle replacement (parts): $440 โ€ข Labor charges: $75 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $80 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $55 Thank you for reading my story.
