I make my living with my taxi. 3 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $700. 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 3 children. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $700 goes: • clutch assembly replacement (parts): $440 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $115 • Labor charges: $145 I hope life is good to you. - Mariusz

    Best of luck. Small businesses are the heart of Kraków. Hope you're open again soon. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Kraków

    • good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mariusz.

          It's all in the list in the story. clutch assembly replacement (parts) is the big one at $440, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Ask me anything else.

      • Hope it all works out, Mariusz. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

        • Best of luck, Mariusz. Hope the shop reopens soon. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Kraków

          • Hope it all works out, Mariusz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Medellín

            • So sorry you're going through this. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
