Well, I had them jumpstart the car and I slowly drove it to the shop for them to install the new parts. The car will be driveable on Wednesday, including the oil and filter changes, not to mention the AC working. So, I'll have a car to use when home for my 4 days per month. I will keep the advice for future use . . . thanks again.
