I make my living with my delivery van. 3 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 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 $300 goes:
• fuel pump replacement (parts): $195
• Labor charges: $30
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $40
• Towing and inspection: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
