I hear that, and its a dangerous stretch of road..the dude being towed better know how to stop the car in front, thats the way its suppose to work anyways..lol...
I think the fact he needs a tow means the car is frucked otherwise he would be asking for someone to drive the car, no?
PC to CAP is a low tow on a line, but doable if the guy in the car being towed can concentrate for such a long time. I know being towed close up at reasonably high speeds drains the brain and melts your eyes and senses.
A flatbed will be expensive but if you can find a simple hook up recovery guy it shouldn't be too bad, but it will still be expensive. Have you not considered having the vehicle repaired and started in PC and then driving it over here.
Mind you, several hundred bucks might not be as much to you as it is to me and spits relative.

Think about what you just said...I seriously doubt the car needs repair or the OP would have asked for such at their location..The common sense in me is saying, this is the only way to get my car to SD...OP?? LOL...Again, be more than happy to drive it down for ya out of POP..Or I guess, can come to PC..if this is the case, your looking at about 4,000 in gas..
Im pretty sure i need a new alternator.
Problem is i have a flight im SD next tuesday. Nobody work on sunday so i think it would be too short to replace this. I also dont trust those guys in Punta cana to fix my car (Acura) so i prefer to have it tow to my house and deal with it when i get back. I think thats my best option

Holy smokes!! thats a very expensive Alt!! Whats the problem? If the car starts, remove the positive cable from the battery..Is she continues to run, ALT is fine..Or does she drop dead after a while of running, try to start it, click click click??
Yup. Battery died, then boosted it, died again so figured there was a problem but was already here... Anyway end up getting signs of something like battery cant recharge... Looked online on some forums and they say its alternate usually.
Heard the clickclickclick last time i tryed to start it and it failed.
I know its expensive but how much u think around?

What Year/model? I can call Rubin tomorrow if you like, get a price on all of the above..Just need Year/model, would be helpful to have the VIN should you not know the engine size and it sometimes may differ from car's options..Are you wanting New, rebuilt or remanufactured?? Different warranties etc..I'm a Ford guy, so we always went with Reman which is all new internal parts, case is cleaned, sand blastered put back together...would have 1 year/36,000 mile warranty...Acura is a different animal, but parts are parts..
Are you sure? I jumped it and after 20 mins driving it it start ****ing up. The warning lights started to flash, then eventually i could feel my car didnt have too much power...
Lights where on tho, it was at night so no choice...
You think i could make it to SDQ?

Can't, fuel pump, anti lock brakes, etc need juice, would drop pretty quickly..now, if this was an older car, hell yea!! LOL..and a Ford Probe back in the day? HA! that puppy was like one huge electronic flux capacitor..it had relays for the relays..tough spot! I would seek out replacement tomorrow being its Saturday...Try a few after market stores,may have a napa there or price smart no?
If it is your alternator then I am absolutely positive you can drive it until you turn it off and then you will need to jump it again, but keep it running and you can make it to Haiti if you want to. It's only your battery is not picking up any charge. Flashing lights is just the warning telling you, you are not picking up a charge, you are about to loose electrics.
Like I say, if it is e alternator there is nothing stopping you driving it once started, just leave the CD's at home.

Okay, just tell me what you wanna do...I can call Rubin tomorrow for a price on a tow, compare with the other poster etc, and also see if he has the part or can locate it..Now being its an Import, do you know the pro-date? or you may need to call so you can provide the Vin..
