Any local guys have a recommendation for a reasonably priced service? It runs and lot drives, the rear frame rail rust caused the right rear trailing arm to separate so the right rear wheel rubs on the wheelhouse. My local towing company quoted $650.00 plus tolls to go and get it. I priced a U Haul truck and trailer one way for around $250.00 but I would still need to fly in and get to the U Haul dealer via Uber or Taxi. I was hoping that maybe there would be someone coming home from Carlisle through Chicago with an open trailer spot. I am open to any suggestions! Thanks!

I'd call a few yards close to where the car is and see what they're offering www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com
