Help Mateusz replace the transmission and return to work
Mateusz's my delivery van is Mateusz's only source of income and needs a transmission replacement costing $900.
Anywhere in the world2,087 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $900. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $900 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $600
• Labor charges: $115
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $105
• Towing and inspection: $80
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. Take care.
Hope the shop reopens soon. Thinking of Radom.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mateusz?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about transmission replacement (parts), advice is welcome too. Thanks for asking.
Wishing you the best. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Thika.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mateusz
Sure. The biggest one is transmission replacement (parts), $600. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Rooting for you, Mateusz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
Best of luck, Mateusz. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care
Small businesses are the heart of Radom. Hope you're open again soon. We're a small family in Mississauga but we're thinking of you. Thinking of Radom.
Thanks for sharing this, Mateusz. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
