<p>All moved in to Presidential Village (nice!), but my van died. Who has a mechanic here in T-town?</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>We usually go to the Firestone on McFarland. The nearest cross-street is Hargrove. They’re open on Sunday, too.</p>
<p>I read the linked thread. Does anyone know a mechanic that specifically works on BMWs OTHER than the dealer? Thanks!</p>
<p>Thank you, everyone! Cross your fingers for me since there are no hotels tomorrow night.</p>
<p>Good luck, Busymom 64! Let us know how things turn out. :-)</p>
<p>So, did you hear the one about the lady who took her first kid to college and didn’t leave?</p>
<p>I thought I was going to have to sign up for classes, but I finally made it home courtesy of a new alternator from the great folks at Firestone (thank you, m2ck!)</p>
<p>They did a great job and I can’t even describe how nice everyone there was. They even took me back over to campus to wait. </p>
<p>When I was leaving, Vick told me that if the kids ever need anything (car-related, I assume, but I swear I think he’d help in any way) they should come in any time and ask for him.</p>
<p>By the way, if they hadn’t been able to fix it yesterday, it was looking like I would have had to stay in the dorm.</p>
<p>Happy to hear you made it home safe.</p>
<p>Glad you made it home, Busymom64! Don’t you just love southern hospitality!?! 
Vick sounds like a great guy!</p>
