My pickup: Yusuf's only way to earn a living
Yusuf drives for a living in Durban, and a broken radiator and cooling system has stopped all income for 7 weeks.

I make my living with my pickup. 7 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $450. 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 ten 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $450 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $290
• Labor charges: $85
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $25
Glad we found this place.

Hope it all works out, Yusuf. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best.
