I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $1,300 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $690
• Labor charges: $195
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $250
• Towing and inspection: $165
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Best of luck, Kevin. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Birmingham.
Hope things get better soon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Kitakyushu but we're thinking of you. Take care.
