I make my living with my ride-share car. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 eleven 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 $550 goes: • transmission replacement (parts): $350 • Labor charges: $120 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $50 • Towing and inspection: $30 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Glenroy
