Thảo needs my delivery van repaired to get back to work in Cầu Giấy

Thảo's my delivery van is Thảo's only source of income and needs a gearbox replacement costing $200.

Cầu Giấy
I make my living with my delivery van. 5 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $200. 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 family of five. 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 $200 goes: • gearbox replacement (parts): $125 • Labor charges: $30 • Road tax and insurance renewal: $40 • Towing and inspection: $5 Glad we found this place.
