My ride-share car: Kieran's only way to earn a living

Without my ride-share car Kieran can't work; a $600 repair would put him back on the road.

I make my living with my ride-share car. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $600. 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 younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked eleven 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 $600 goes: • Towing and inspection: $55 • Labor charges: $330 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $215 Glad we found this place. - Kieran

    Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care

        Sure. The biggest one is towing and inspection, $55. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.
