I had AAA tow me several places other then repair shops  most of the 
time i buy a car to fix up i have the tow it to my home or a plece they 
think is my  home like i said i get tows no questions asked except "what 
address to to to"  and if it is late at night  and i break down i never 
have it towd to a repair shop i allways have it towd home as most of the 
repair i do my self.
