Madina
I make my living with my school-run minibus. 8 weeks ago the fuel pump failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked twelve 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 $300 goes: • fuel pump replacement (parts): $180 • Labor charges: $65 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $45 • Towing and inspection: $10 Glad we found this place. - Henry
