Help Caroline replace the clutch assembly and return to work

Without my ride-share car Caroline can't work; a $1,150 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 8 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 four 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 $1,150 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $610 • Labor charges: $125 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $310 • Towing and inspection: $105 Thanks for being kind about this.

      Clutch assembly replacement (parts) is $610 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
