Help Bruno replace the gearbox and return to work
Without my taxi Bruno cannot work; a $600 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my taxi. 4 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three 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 $600 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $400
• Labor charges: $75
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $115
• Towing and inspection: $10
Thanks for reading all this.

Thanks for sharing this, Bruno. Hope the shop reopens soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Guadalajara.
you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Take care, Bruno. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Warsaw this morning. God bless.
