I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the clutch assembly 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 twelve 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 $450 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $330
• Labor charges: $50
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $50
• Towing and inspection: $20
Thank you for reading my story.
