My ride-share car: Jie's only way to earn a living
Jie's my ride-share car is Jie's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,750.
🇺🇸 Fresno, California, United States1,682 views
I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,750. 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 six 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 $1,750 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,300
• Towing and inspection: $120
• Labor charges: $330
If you're reading this, thank you.

how is Jie doing now?
Best of luck, Jie. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Stellenbosch.
Praying for you, Jie. I hope things turn around soon. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings
Hope this works out for you. Love from Erie.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Jie.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. clutch assembly replacement (parts) is the biggest at $1,300.
Hope it all works out, Jie. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 25 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Fresno
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Strasbourg!
Hope you make a strong comeback. Greetings from Cambridge.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Sending love, Jie. Small businesses are the heart of Fresno. Hope you're open again soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Bacoor!
Hope things get better soon, Jie. Small businesses are the heart of Fresno. Hope you're open again soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
