Get Barış back on the road: my motorbike repair fund

I make my living with my motorbike. 3 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $350. 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 family of five. Before the breakdown I worked twelve hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six 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 $350 goes: • Labor charges: $80 • Towing and inspection: $45 • radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $225 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

  • Is it paid to the mechanic directly?

    • Barış GüneşOwnerAnswer

      It comes to me first, then I pay the mechanic myself and upload the receipt. I wouldn't be comfortable any other way. Fair thing to want to know.

  • Stay strong, Barış. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
