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.
🇬🇧 Leicester, England, United Kingdom1,162 views
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.
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.
