Get Zoey back on the road: my delivery van repair fund

Without my delivery van Zoey can't work; a $1,350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 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 $1,350 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $950 • Labor charges: $130 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $130 • Towing and inspection: $140 Thank you for reading my story.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Zoey.

    • Zoey F. WoodOwnerAnswer

      The list at the bottom is the whole picture. transmission replacement (parts) is the biggest at $950. Ask me anything else.

    Keep going. Small businesses are the heart of Leicester. Hope you're open again soon. Take care.
