Hi Sara,
Thank you for your service! Try the resources on your military base. But in addition to those there are some car and free truck programs for veterans and those in the military listed here. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... grams.html
Those combine non-profits with some company programs to help with repairs or new cars for military people.

My name is Sara and I have been a part of the Air Force since 2020. I just got tasked for my first PCS to Nellie AFB and I leave on the 30th of this month. As of last week, my check engine light came on and I was finally able to take it to the shop to get it checked out. Turns out, my whole turbo malfunctioned and needs to be replaced ASAP. It will not be safe to drive all the way to Nevada from Texas without the work done. This is a huge necessity to be able to make it safe to my gaining base and was 100% unexpected. I cannot afford the $1,210.06 I was quoted for the whole turbo replacement along with the labor. Would there be any chance that I may receive some help to get my car into the shape it needs to be in to make it to my new base safe and sound?
Thank you so very much for your time and everything you do for the military.

Hi my name is Alicia from Manchester NH 03103 and I need help with my car engine.
I had taken my truck to my mechanic to get it looked at because the check engine light is on and I was told it was due to the catalytic converter and two O2 sensors that needs to be fixed right away so I don't blow out my muffler all the way and if they don't get fixed it will blow out soon. If it does happen then it's going to cost even more money to fix it!!!
I've tried calling everywhere that I can possibly think of and I don't know what to do anymore because I need help to fix my car engine as soon as possible so I'm not without having a vehicle and I need my truck to get back and forth between my doctors appointments and other appointments that I have to go to..
I have medical necessary surgeries that needs to be done by a licensed surgeon and these doctors are located in the Lebanon Hospital area of New Hampshire area witch is very very far away from Manchester NH
I have dyslexia and my comprehension issues makes it so difficult for me to read and write and that's why I ask someone to please call me so I can explain myself and I can understand what someone has to say to me about obtaining help from any organization that can possibly help me with getting my truck fixed soon. I need my car engine fixed before it brakes down and leaving me without any kind of transportation that I need to get to my appointments!!!!
Again my name is Alicia
From Manchester NH 03103 and I am a resident of New Hampshire area okay???

I live in Lehi, Utah. My vehicle has the check engine light come in and another error light. I took it in Friday and should find out this week what’s going on. I’m afraid I can’t pay for the repairs. Is there any help I can receive for my car engine? It’s our only vehicle to get me to work and my disabled husband to his doctor appointments and to dialysis.

if the engine needs to be fixed, there might be financial aid out there. As there are government car programs. Or maybe they can arrange a ride for you.

Repair bill for my car engine

Post by Colby »

I was searching the internet looking for auto repair lands and I came across your site. I was hit with a major repair bill after my engine wiring harness caught fire. I have a job, but being that I live pay check to pay check I don't have enough money in a month to pay my $600 engine repair bill without spending months saving, but then How am I supposed to work and get my child from school that I have 50% custody of? My car has been down for 2 months already and it'll be another 2 or 3 before I can pay off the bill, running the risk of kissing my job. Ice had to bum rides, be late and I've even had to cancel my scheduled custody time with my daughter because of this. Even if I can't borrow the entire amount, $400 would even help pay the repair bill for my car engine. Please help!
