This isn't an emergency but I need it done asap (by Sunday night). My Jeep took a crap on me driving home from work today on I79. It wasn't the smartest idea, but I was able to back it down to the exit I got on (Coraopolis) and get it back to my work eventually. I put a fuel pump in it a few weeks ago and I believe it crapped out. Anyhow... It has a np249 and I need a flatbed. I anyone on here could help me out I would really appreciate it. Hook up fees are a bit on the high side nowadays compared to when I used to walk to school uphill both ways with no shoes on!
Thanks
Jamie

If no one can help you and you have to call a tow truck. Dont.
Instead sign up for AAA. You get 4 tows a year and road side assistance for $100 or so.

Ok I can help out if I get the heads up. I have the trailer hooked up right now on the Tahoe and its empty right now... so it will work out perfect.

if you send me a PM I can do it now as long as you don't live in timbucktoo.

if not I wont be able to do it until 10 PM Saturday night or after 6 PM on sunday.. I have a winch on the trailer too. PM me and lets see if I can help out.

Are you still on the off ramp? or are you at work? You will get the recovery fee if you are on the highway or roadway, fee mmight be less if you are going from garage/shop/work to home. Text message sent.

Thanks for all of the replys. I thought about the AAA thing, and you're right, there is a grace period. 10 days in fact. May be worth getting in the long run anyhow.
See ya later on Dixie. If you can do it earlier let me know. Thanks
