I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $250. 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 three 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 $250 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $190 • Labor charges: $20 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $25 • Towing and inspection: $15 Glad we found this place.

    • Thanks for sharing this, Aisha. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Marseille so I could bring a meal

          Wishing you the best. Small businesses are the heart of Kano. Hope you're open again soon. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Kano.
