Help Kevin replace the clutch assembly and return to work
Without my motorbike Kevin cannot work; a $1,300 repair would put him back on the road.
🇬🇧 England, United Kingdom902 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 7 weeks ago the clutch assembly failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,300. 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 wife and our newborn. Before the breakdown I worked ten 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 $1,300 goes:
• Labor charges: $165
• clutch assembly replacement (parts): $1,050
• Towing and inspection: $85
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Take care. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings
is labor charges the biggest cost or is there more coming?
It's all in the list in the story. labor charges is the big one at $165, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.
Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.

Stay strong, Kevin. Hope the shop reopens soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
