I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 nine 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 $350 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $170
• Labor charges: $80
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $60
• Towing and inspection: $40
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Özlem. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Ankara. Hope you're open again soon. Don't give up. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family, Özlem. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope September is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Ankara!
