Our car snapped the timing belt on our way home to AL here in Commerce. I've got a few ideas, but being 300 miles from home doesn't give you many options.

1. Rent a u-haul and tow dolly/trailer and tow it home. It's not running so I'd need some genius way to get the car onto the dolly. I considered chalking the wheels and using a tow strap, but it doesn't give me the warm fuzzes. It would also get us home in at least by Tuesday.

2. Have it repaired here. This would be rather costly and a last resort. We would either use the dealer or another shop and be forced to leave the car and return to pick it up. Add in the cost of getting us both home.

3. Have it towed? It's costly and I think an auto transport would be cheaper.

I'll take any advice you've got right now. I'm also happy to add I have the parts sitting on my bench at home. Thanks for your time.
