I make my living with my taxi. 12 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $400. 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 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 $400 goes: • suspension replacement (parts): $280 • Labor charges: $35 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Towing and inspection: $25 I hope life is good to you.
