Q: Car at my husbands work, can't drive it
Hi, I applied for a program called PRC through job and family services. One of their requirements to get me approved for repair help is to have 2 certified mechanics physically SEE my car and give me an estimate. I don't have the financial means to get it towed to 2 different places. Is there any chance one of your mechanics could come look at it and give me an estimate?
