Help Jamal replace the rear axle and return to work
Without my delivery van Jamal can't work; a $455 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the rear axle failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $455. 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 $455 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $310
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $5
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Jamal. Small businesses are the heart of Spanish Town. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this, Jamal. Hope the shop reopens soon. Please keep us posted. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Jamal. Hope you make a strong comeback. Thinking of Spanish Town.
