I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,100. 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 twelve 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $1,400
• Labor charges: $360
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $155
If you're reading this, thank you.
