My delivery van: John's only way to earn a living
Without my delivery van John can't work; a $1,150 repair would put him back on the road.
🇺🇸 Anaheim, California, United States1,486 views
I make my living with my delivery van. 4 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 nine 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 $1,150 goes:
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $220
• Towing and inspection: $90
• transmission replacement (parts): $840
Thank you so much.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for John.
It's all in the list in the story. road tax and insurance renewal is the big one at $220, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
