My car is in desperate need of repair. It needs a new motor! the mechanic said it's the worst thing that can happen to it and it's going to cost $2,600! I am unable to find a job because of cyclical unemployment. I am 17 years old and my parents (divorsed) can't afford to pay for it. My car is used to go to my job (when I get re-hired soon, hopefully) and to get to and from school. I love my car and I dont want to see it thrown out and leave me car-less.

My name is Ray.

I would honestly and truly appriciate any help at all. thanks again!

please contact my email if you'd be so kind to help me out in my exigent circumstance

Aidpage group discussing "Auto repair"...

I have trusted my mechanics, that have their family owned business in Queens, NY. Paying elsewhere like "Pep Boys, Strauss, AutoZone, and even Sears had always been a proven money pit for my family. I just use them now for basic wiper blades and fluids. "They" don't seem to understand struggle and surviving from check to check and limited budgets. Finding caring and honest people to take care of your car has proven to be an invaluable asset as well as resourse. To have peace of mind is how the American Express commercials put it: "PRICELESS".

When you know your car inside out it helps to know that you are somewhat knowledgeable about maintenance. I learned the hard way so many times, pushing my cars until the can't go anymore... Been raped by companies like mentioned above because they were the only one's open on sunday's. Don't know why my cars died when they did, but at almost a 200% mark up on labor, diagnostics, and other HuHa...(just things they list on the bill when you get it), You need a stiff drink after the ordeal.

 Wow, thank you for this group page, I can go on and on... You build such an attatchment with your vehicle, they do become part of your family. I named all of my cars. Wish I had the money to find them, and bring them back to life, just to squander thousands of bucks on paint and add-ons like on "Pimp My Ride", or "Foose"... Thanks ttyl.

Peace & Blessings  I. Teddy Bonet

About mimilonergan

I am a single mom and I became disabled on January 6, 2006 so I have a very limited income.  I have one child at home, age 13 going on 30!  I have a 1996 Ford Escort LX wagon that broke down on us going to church in October of last year and to date have not been able to buy the parts to repair it. 

I live in a mobile home community that requires our vehicles to be tagged, in Florida this means they also have to be insured!  My little car is paid for so I have tried to hold onto it hoping that sonehow I will be able to get it repaired.

I have to beg for rides from neighbors mostly and friends when they can come to take us to pay our bills or buy food.  I feel like such a burden to them, but love each of them for their kindness to us.

I have been hoping that I could find an organization in the Orlando area that would help us so that we can once again attend church and make trips to the store and doctor appointments.

If anyone knows of such an organization please let me know.  It would be much appreciated.

Thank you and God bless you all.

About Lizzy09

My name is Lizzy. I am 23 years old. I am currently engaged and have 3 kids under the age of 5. I am in college and my fiance works full time.

Three weeks ago, I was at my kids daycare picking them up when I accidentally hit a teacher's car. The car door does not open now. When the accident happened the other driver and I exchanged names, phone numbers, insurance information.

Last week I found out that I did not have insurance at the time of the accident. I am freaking out because I have no money. I have to pay the damages to her car, I owe a relative $1500 for borrowing money for school and I owe $2000 to my mechanic for fixing my vehicle for repairs 2 months ago.

I have no idea what to do about the financial situation. Does anyone know where I can get this money to pay off these bills? I have no problem paying the lender back. I have bad credit so I cannot get a loan and I cannot borrow from anyone.

Please help!!!!!

in need of auto repair help

Hello, my husband and I are very hard working people. Most of the time we find it hard to make ends meet. Our cars are on their last leg. Both are in need of repairs, in which we can't afford.We barely make enough to put food on the table.We both work 30 minutes away from home. I don't know how much longer before they completely break down. If anyone knows of a place that is very resonable in their prices or anyone that would find it in their heart to help us, we would be so appreciative.We live in Terrell, Texas. We can pay back in small monthly payments. We are not asking for money, just a little help. Thank You

I'm looking for aid or grant

I own a small business , it is an auto repairshop, and I'm looking for a grant or aid to expand my business where I can afford to train few students in the field of auto repair free and without any charge at all.

I have the knowledge and experience, but I don't have the funds to do the necessary remodeling and expansion of the building so it can accomodate few students in an academic and practical education, this can help youngsters learn a useful trade and also keep them away from joining violent and bad groups of youngsters.
