Still stuck

My care is stuck in park again. Anyone have an idea of how much a tow costs? My insurance company will pay $100 towards a tow and a fix. I'm trying to decide whether I need to pray over my car until it shifts out of park or if it would be cheap enough just to go ahead and get a tow.

I asked my Dad to talk to our friend at the dealership in Clinton in case he had any ideas what could be wrong with it. Our friend told us to call a locksmith. I called a locksmith. He was very nice, but said they deal with ignition problems, not transmission problems. I said I know, but sometimes the key won't come out of the ignition either and that my dealership thought it was all connected and had told me to call him. He got his manager, who radioed his top technician, who said that it wasn't a problem with the cylinder in the ignition but rather something to do with the track in the console moving back and forth. Okay. No locksmith.

So, now I'm looking at a NAPA autocare shop. I'm very sad and frustrated right now, not to mention stuck, and really need some people to hang out with.

That's all.

What I've experienced is that tow cost usually depends on distance. You could find out how far you need to go and then call towers to get estimates based on car location and destination…

Any forward movement?
