I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the transmission failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,900. 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 twelve 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 $1,900 goes:
• transmission replacement (parts): $1,350
• Labor charges: $340
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $105
• Towing and inspection: $105
Thanks for reading all this.
