Help Emiliano replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Emiliano's my tuk-tuk is Emiliano's only source of income and needs a clutch assembly replacement costing $1,250.
🇪🇸 Madrid, Madrid, Spain552 views
I make my living with my tuk-tuk. 6 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,250. 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 two daughters and my mother. 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 $1,250 goes:
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $810
• Labor charges: $270
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $135
• Towing and inspection: $35
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
