I make my living with my ride-share car. 3 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,950. 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 ten 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 $1,950 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $1,100 • Labor charges: $430 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $290 • Towing and inspection: $130 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Marcus
