I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $100. 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 4 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 $100 goes:
• Labor charges: $45
• Towing and inspection: $35
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $20
Glad we found this place.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Karin.
Sure. The biggest one is labor charges, $45. 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.
good luck. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Durban
Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Mandaue.
good luck. Hope you make a strong comeback. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Likoni.
Hope the shop reopens soon. We're a small family in Tiruchirappalli but we're thinking of you. Take care.
You're not alone, Karin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Hope the shop reopens soon. Greetings from Epe
Praying for you. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. My husband and I read this together.
Looking forward to the next update. Love from Kasarani
