(To compete with AAA, the automobile service club, many insurance companies now offer free towing as part of their policy. Call your agent to see if you’re covered.) If the mechanic’s diagnosis and price is worth its weight in gold, it will stand up to a second opinion. After all, if you were having heart surgery, you’d want another doctor to weigh in, right?
