I see your case and I think the charge by blueSG is reasonable bearing their loss of income, part ordering and time taken to for parts to arrive and repair considering the current pandemic even though a quick fix outside can normally solve your issue.
I suggest for the following:
1) Request for full breakdown of repair cost, downtime cost if they want you to pay.
2) You can start seeking personal loan to pay them off (at least in a loan you can pay back btw 1-5 years via installment or earlier) - google the personal loans provided by banks.
3) Start doing freelance work, odd handy repairs (Grabfood, foodpanda, lalamove) and sell whatever you own on carousell. (You'll cough up ard 500 to 1K, you'll be surprised.)
4) Rent a car and do grab/gojek/lala but prepared to work your butt off 20+ hours non stop.
5K can be done in 6 months if you work hard but you're gonna have to slog it off big time and work to remember this painful lesson. Good luck.
