I make my living with my school-run minibus. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $550. 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 2 children. Before the breakdown I worked eleven hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four 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 $550 goes: โ€ข suspension replacement (parts): $300 โ€ข Labor charges: $95 โ€ข Road tax and insurance renewal: $115 โ€ข Towing and inspection: $40 I hope life is good to you. - Felipe
