I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,400. 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 eleven 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 $1,400 goes:
• Towing and inspection: $105
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $960
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $335
Glad we found this place.

Sending good thoughts, Claire. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Poznań so I could bring a meal. God bless.
Thinking of you, Claire. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
