Woman Who Gets Her Car Fixed Pays The Mechanic Back With Surprising Stunt

Imagine this: you're rushing to get your whole family ready for the day. By the skin of your teeth, you manage to get everyone in the car on time. You get ten feet out of your driveway — and then your car makes that sound. For some people, this scenario would simply mean running late, an inconvenience at worst. So when Candice Berry's ran into some unexpected problems, she didn't ever anticipate her car troubles to forever change the way she saw the world.

Supermom

Every day, single mom Candice Berry drove her son Jace to school in their hometown of Mustang, Oklahoma, before heading off to work. These car rides gave the duo a chance to catch up, but one ride didn't go quite as planned.

Vehicle problems

To make the ride possible, she bought a new truck in early 2019, but it quickly started giving her trouble. “The brakes need to be changed as well as the purge valve. And then also my speedometer is off,” she said in February.

Forced her hand

Of course, it was completely unsafe to drive her son around without proper brakes, and she could easily rack up tickets without a working speedometer. There was only one solution: find a mechanic.

High prices

Unfortunately, every shop that Candice called was charging her much more than she could afford at the time. She realized she had to start saving up, but she had no other means of transportation and didn't know how to get Jace to school in the meantime.
