Volunteer Needed: Inspect a Van To End Homelessness
Description
Greetings!
I am currently out of work but taking proactive steps to lift myself up. My immediate goal is to purchase a reliable, budget-friendly cargo van to live in so I can establish a stable base and jump right back into the workforce.
I have found a couple of potential van options at dealerships/private sales in the Toronto area, but because my budget is extremely tight, I cannot afford standard mechanic diagnostic fees.
I am looking for a volunteer, a car enthusiast, or an independent mechanic open to a low-cost side gig to accompany me to view a vehicle and give it a solid physical inspection.
About Me & The Setup:
I am resourceful and have my own Innova OBD computer reader to scan the vehicle for digital fault codes.
What I lack is the mechanical experience to spot physical issues like fluid leaks, transmission glitches, suspension wear, or hidden rust.
You would just need your own vehicle to meet up with me at the lot/location.
Compensation:
Because I am currently unemployed, I cannot pay standard shop rates. However, I am more than happy to:
Buy you lunch and a coffee for your time.
Cover a small token amount for your gas/trouble.
Return the favor down the road with DIY help, moving assistance, or whatever skills I can offer!
If you are a car-savvy neighbor who wants to help someone clear a major hurdle toward self-sufficiency, I would be incredibly grateful for your time.
Please reply to this ad or send me a text if you are interested in helping out.
Thank you so much!
