I make my living with my taxi. 10 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $350 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Labor charges: $70
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $230
Thanks for being kind about this.
