I make my living with my school-run minibus. 6 weeks ago the rear axle 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 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.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $600 goes:
• rear axle replacement (parts): $360
• Labor charges: $95
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $70
• Towing and inspection: $75
Glad we found this place.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Brianna
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. rear axle replacement (parts) comes first ($360) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Hope things get better soon. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Fresno.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
so sorry you're going through this, Brianna. Hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care!
