Need of free car repair

[Larrysfish]

Currently living in a hotel and my car broke down and needs repairs. I have seizures which I take Kepler for and will need them for the rest of my life. The recent seizures has left me with work, I've lost my ID during a trip to the E.R. And am running out of options and hope for finding a place to live. I was on the streets or living in my car for a very short time but got this far on my own, but need some real help soon. I'm a freelance artist, and musician but have lost all my things from selling them to strangers straight up stealing it out of my truck. Which I'm now also without for the past 6 months and walk / take the bus everywhere until my truck is repaired. But it’s just too exhausting to do on my own. Please someone help. Thank you,

I live in Wayne county TN with my wife and four children. For the past couple years has been really hard on us. I have lost our house, two cars and am being sued by 2 different collection agencies right now. We have an outrageously high amount of medical bills, our light and water bill has been barely paid before disconnection for a long period of time and it goes on.
My youngest son arrived on 9/7/15 and my middle just turned 2 on 6/3/15 and they both have had extensive stays in Vanderbilt medical hospital.
My newborn was 6 weeks premature and my 2 year old had an abscessed lymph node where he had to have surgery and stayed for about a month and at the time the car we had didn't have no heat and had major front end problems so we took everything we had with our taxes and purchased a what we thought was our dream come true. It as a dependable vehicle and no more carrying a pile of blankets to stay warm and air to stay cool and we had something that we could get them to the hospital or ER and actually be able to get back and forth and then to work. We need our automobile.
But after 3000 miles the transmission has went out and it gets hot if it idles no longer than the light to turn green at a stop but I could continue for a while and I'm not trying to make anybody feel sorry for me.
I'm on my knees and am going ask if please if there is anyway in the world that I could get some help to possibly fix it or maybe a grant to put towards a trade or anything. I'm begging. I need these repairs, but can't pay, so need them for free.
I don't want pity from nobody for me but I'm broken due to the fact I'm a man of faith and a devotion to my family that cannot be rivaled and they have suffered because I couldn't find a permanent job. Or I'd get laid off or can't find to find one but please I'm begging for some help to acquire a dependable car where I can find a permanent job. It would then be able to live a life without the worry of poverty. Please again, if you can please contact me. Thank you for your time in reading this.

Amador County, which is where Jackson is located, is very rural. Not sure if any agency will help with repairs or fixing the transmission. But you can ask. Maybe call the community action agency for referrals.

So maybe try them. Maybe they are aware of a junk yard to get the parts and some volunteer mechanics that will help install them.

live in Jackson California, and a couple of weeks ago, my car broke down. I work in Plymouth at at store I am not positive but I believe it to be the transmission. I still need to get it to a shop and have it tested. I am the only source of income for our family. I unfortunately do not have any money in my saving account. I need my job to support my family, I had just stuck 1500.00 into my car. If there is anyway that I could get some help, I would greatly appreciate it. You may email me back.
Thank you so very much

Hi there,
I'm in desperate need of mechanical problems with my car, I'm low income and disabled. I'm making payments on the car, and I can barely do that. Now I'm having a lot of mechanical problems with it, it's all I have for transportation to my therapy and doctors appointments. I have tried to find any help on the Internet with no luck, I'm afraid to drive my son to school and that's only barely 3 miles one way.
My front end is making really scary noises, I have been to a few mechanics and the cost to fix is about $1000.00 that I don't have. Nor can I get. My front right ball joint is rattling like crazy, and I found out the shocks are the original shocks and they are really bad. I would get rid of it, but since buying it the value is less then half the loan amount. So I'm stuck paying for a car that hardly runs, and have no $ to get all it needs fixed to make it safe. I have been to more them 4 mechanic shops to try and find out why it runs so bad, I trusted a few and paid for a few repairs. The problem is it still runs bad, I don't qualify for the lemon law.
It's a 2004 car, used so no lemon law for used. I haven't had it a year yet, I have taken it back to the dealership I bought it from. They fixed a couple things, but refuse to fix the major problems, basically I got screwed. Used is as is purchase, so there not liable for fixing it. The car is haunted, or a lemon. And I'm stuck paying for it, please I beg of you is there any program or charity etc. that mite be able to help me? I'm going to be moving by end of summer, my health problems because me too much pain where I live. The car is desperately needed, and to know its not going to break down on me would be an awesome feeling. I would get rid of it if I could, but I can't and I have no other way of fixing it or replacing it.

My car I bought broke down on me two weeks after I bought it. The mechanic fixed the car without giving me a quote now I have to pay $2400 to get it back. I had to drop out of my classes and miss a lot of job interviews. I really need my car.
I'm a single mother of two and it took me 5 years to get money for the car. I really need my car back if I'm going to make it. Please if anyone could help you will be saving me from much stress and worry that I would lose all that money I spent on the car so far. Need help fast. The more it stays at the shop the more he's charging me for storing it.

I'm in major need of vehicle repair and don't have much money to pay for it as am behind on my bills I'm a single mother of four and about to be homeless, but I am in the process of getting help for finding a home. I was looking and hoping for some kind of grant or loan that I can get to fix my transmission on my Mercury mountaineer! Please help on some information of any sort that can point me in the right direction! Thank you so much in advance!!!!

I am permanently disabled and my cars power steering needs to be fixed. I don't have an extra 400.00 to fix it. I live on Social Security disability and I am afraid it is going to go out on me. I am the only family. My elderly parents have to check on them. I was told by the automobile place when I had my oil changed and the serpentine belt has a crack in it. That cost about S180. So if I can get assistance this would be wonderful. Thank you.

Sorry I don't know anywhere that helps with car repairs. You can try calling 211 and see if there are any local resources.

I found a mechanic with a car but I have to pay for the repairs that he has done on it. I have no money for it. I am disabled and living on a limited income. I can not afford the repairs. I am a diabetic, in chronic pain all over and a bad heart. Please assist me with paying for these car repairs. I need this van to go to my doctor, visit family, run my own errands, etc.

Hello,
I'm a 58 year old single female, living on SSDI of $1114/month.
I am in dire need of $326.13 + $90 for car repairs. I bought a used 2003 Kia Sedona mini-van Sept 2012, from private owner.
I have had several car repair bills accumulated since 3 months since I bought this lemon.
Two months ago, I tapped out the churches for another car repair of $391 for repairs. Within the first 3 months of owning this van, I tapped out all the churches in my area for $900 needed for catalytic converter repairs. And there have been several more repairs I have paid for myself, by shuffling rent and other bills. My link card amount was reduced to $5/month.
This vehicle has been a nightmare, yet I am in a bind, because I can't save any money to purchase another used vehicle, because I'm spending all my money and the churches' monies on repairs. I don't have good credit, so no car dealership or bank will give me a loan to help me.
My van was towed yesterday, 11/17//2014 when it wouldn't start while I was at the shopping center. I've been using a local mechanic, here in Chicago, IL. He knows the history of the car since I've owned it. He is very trustworthy and was highly recommended to me. He has also fixed my car, letting me take it before I got all the payments from the churches.
I live in Chicago, Il, which is in Cook County. My van needs a new starter. So with parts and labor, the total is $326.13.
Please, I need your help!

I live in Long Beach California. recently was involved in a vehicle accident (not at fault) and I had to pay for a rental car and gas and get the doctor. I also need to repair the car. Because of all this I am not able to pay my bills or get my truck out because the deductible is so high. I need assistance with rent ($1600 + 800 which is late), light bill ($207), water ($125), and my deductible ($500). Then I have to pay daycare for my kids ($407 and $147). I also recently found out one of my daughters has a mass on her brain. Hard times man.

Hello,
I am a 54 years young and have been unemployed since August 3, 2012. I have been applying for jobs and going on interviews but now I'm not able to go on interviews as my car has developed a problem within the transmission and will cost approximately $1,400 to repair. The small family I have is not able to help me.
My unemployment benefit is $234 which covers my basic monthly expenses, including my modest mortgage, but doesn't allow for a costly repair on my car which is a 2008 Ford with 103,600 miles.
Any guidance you can provide will be GREATLY appreciated!

I started receiving social security in March after turning 62. I recently found a part time job but last night my truck stopped running. I believe a fuel pump is needed. Without an auto I will not be able to keep my job and I cannot survive on $800 a month I receive from SSI. If you know of any type of auto repair assistance I would be very thankful.

My car was repossessed yesterday as it was broken. I'm single and live alone. I lost my job a month and half ago desperately seeking and applying for new ones. I have a job and start Monday but I need a car to get there. I've never been here before in my life no job, bills, food assistance. I don't have anything to get it back and no one who can help, their money is tight as well. Looking for financial help to get my car and get to work. thank you for anything.

I’m a single parent of two children 13 and 10. I do not receive child support or any government funding and I do work full time. However I have had major car issues and emergencies that has made me fall behind. I currently pay $750 a month in rent and I’ve been at our residence for 18 months however the real estate company states rent is due on the 1st and if not paid by the 5th they will evict. I’ve tried to come up with the money but I don’t have any options right now. Me and my children will be evicted with nowhere to go and that’s why I’m emailing to see if any type of help is available. Thanks.
