Help Hui replace the radiator and cooling system and return to work
Without my taxi Hui cannot work; a $2,100 repair would put him back on the road.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States1,940 views
I make my living with my taxi. 6 weeks ago the radiator and cooling system failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $2,100. 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 nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next four months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $2,100 goes:
• radiator and cooling system replacement (parts): $1,600
• Labor charges: $190
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $170
• Towing and inspection: $140

Hope things get better soon, Hui. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
Sending love, Hui. Hope the shop reopens soon. All the best
Hang in there, Hui. Shared it with a few friends. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home!
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything
