Kennedy needs my motorbike repaired to get back to work in Los Angeles
Without my motorbike Kennedy can't work; a $1,150 repair would put her back on the road.
🇺🇸 Los Angeles, California, United States1,633 views
I make my living with my motorbike. 4 weeks ago the engine head gasket failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,150. 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 eleven 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.
All money will go toward the parts and labor on the estimate, with a small amount for road tax and insurance renewal.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• engine head gasket replacement (parts): $450
• Labor charges: $390
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $185
• Towing and inspection: $125
Thank you so much.
