can,t you get a buddy to tow the car to someplace a bit more work friendly,
to do the work?
or at least help you out with the repair"
one of the fringe benefits of being a muscle car club or corvette club member
can be having a local shop that gives tows and work at a discount ,
and you really should have tow insurance as it generally costs considerably less per year,
than a single local tow will.
or perhaps a local towing service is available thats not outrageously expensive
I know my car insurance will pay for short tow jobs in some cases,
AAA or consumer cellular car insurance or something similar in road services
but mostly only car tow jobs, back too my home or too a local repair shop under 10 miles if its free?
if its a C4 corvette, your in luck, its a 30 minute job from the top
