I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 10 weeks ago the gearbox failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $155. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my younger brothers and sisters. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next three months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $155 goes:
• gearbox replacement (parts): $105
• Labor charges: $15
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $30
• Towing and inspection: $5
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Thinking of you and your family. Hope you make a strong comeback. Wish I lived closer to Palermo so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Lahore.
Wishing you the best, Asad. Hope the shop reopens soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Lahore
