Default Help! Emergency in Myrtle Beach area

Well I'm 700 miles away from home with a couple buddies and I'm pretty sure my block is blown. Anyone know of any recommended shops around here or any of you good mechanics feel like helping us out? I have no idea what to do right now, any suggestions or ideas are appreciated...

Fastlane Motorsports is about 3 hours away from Myrtle Beach in Benson, NC. They could definitely tell you what was going on with your car.

Another option may be Amazon Racing in the Greenville area of South Carolina. Not really all that close to Myrtle Beach, but they are pretty good with Mustangs.

How could I get my car back to Ohio if thats what I decide to do? Does U-Haul have any type of trailer I can push it on to? I was thinking about renting an SUV one way and towing it back...?

u haul has trailors dont know if you could push it onto though. and they are pretty damn expensive. they love their trailors more than you love your car.

call a transport company its going to be the easiest way to get your car back home. Then take a flight home and wait for your car to get there. Ive had to do this before with my truck a few years back.

So there would be no way for me to tow it back?

I know the engine is blown because all the oil and all the coolant leaked out.
