Jade needs my pickup repaired to get back to work in San Diego
Without my pickup Jade can't work; a $1,350 repair would put her back on the road.

I make my living with my pickup. 8 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,350. 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 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 $1,350 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $520
• Labor charges: $360
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $290
• Towing and inspection: $180
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
