Sold. I finally found the “mobile mechanic” service on their website! That’s the term I was looking for, apparently!

Quilty Mama 🪡🧵 @jannaps.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
I swear that’s what I would have at least attempted in the past. I have a Ford that was made to be difficult to service at home. The engine had to be lifted out to replace the water pump last year (mechanic was unhappy) and I had to take half the dashboard apart to replace the cabin air filter.

I will look into AAA. Thanks! The tow is complicated because I have debilitating anxiety (temporary, I hope) and can’t leave home without help :(

Quilty Mama 🪡🧵 @jannaps.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
At this point, I’m not so worried about pricey. I have a disability that makes this kind of thing 20x harder than it should be, so the car has been sitting like this for months. But I don’t have AAA.

#nolasky Anyone know if I can get my car battery replaced in my driveway? My insurance company offers this service elsewhere but in New Orleans they will only jump it and then tow the car when they confirm the battery is super dead.

On the subject of Dolly’s union/working class solidarity, her 9 to 5 LP included Woody Guthrie’s ´Deportee (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)’, a protest song about the racist mistreatment & media coverage of exploited Mexican farm workers who died when the plane deporting them crashed in 1948.
