Tijuana

I make my living with my ride-share car. 4 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system 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 two daughters and my mother. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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. All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal. Where the $550 goes: • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $400 • Labor charges: $75 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $60 • Towing and inspection: $15 Thank you for reading my story.
