Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I am sorry but we are a group of caregivers sharing our experiences from all across the US. This question has been popping up a lot lately. The last poster need a water pump the garage wanted 1200 to fix it. The part was about $400. To be honest, you may be able to find the labor for free but not the part.
Call your County Office of aging to see if they can help. They may have senior bussing you can take advantage of. There comes a time though, when we have to give up driving because we can no longer afford the upkeep.
To be honest you have as much chance fir finding a free pump as you do fir finding someone who usually charges three times more.
Can we just be honest? By all means ask for free stuff but don’t expect garages to take you on unless they know you or maybe your church. Theres not just the fact that it’s dirty and hazardous to the worker, there’s also the fact that he’s covered by the garages insurance while working there. No, most ppl are not gifting seniors with their hands out or anyone when there are cheap or free car free alternatives p,us Uber. A car is not a necessity.
Ray, call your local council on aging in your city and ask if there are any out there who can help seniors on limited funds with car expenses. Sadly this is not common help to find. Most are in business so they can put food on their own tables, and simply cannot afford to give free serves. You might also asked your faith-based communities if they are aware of any local businesses offering help to those in need.
Sadly, once it comes time when you can no longer afford a car, it may be beyond your capability to keep one. Back in the day every kid on the block used to love tinkering with autos in their driveways; now they are all electronic, that time is over.
Wish you best of luck. This unfortunately is common questions for the forum. Who can remove my tree? Who can fix my car? Who can cut my grass? Really, that is something for your own research in your own community.
This question has been covered in depth here. The standard answer is to contact your county’s area on aging, 211 and 311 plus churches. The realistic answer is that garages and individual mechanics aren’t charities and if they are gonna be helping any grandpa, it’s gonna overwhelmingly be someone they know.
There are senior buses and other alternatives to having your own car you can use. It may just be that you can’t afford a car.
