    There are some mobile mechanics that will come to your vehicle and diagnose/repair it. Search for mobile repair mechanics in your area.

    IM CONFUSED ON THE QUESTION , IF SOMEONE CAME OUT TO FIX YOUR CAR THEN WHY WOULD YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO A SHOP,, JUST HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP SO THEY CAN PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT CORRECTLY ,, hAVE YOU DONE ANY TESTS ON IT YOURSELF??

    if the engine light came on i would get a diagnostic it may be a sensor causing your car not to start thats the least expensive thing you can do and it will give you the best outcome.

    You could provide details of the problem in a forum and people might be able to help you diagnose it yourself - still, unless you're at least a little mechanically inclined, I suspect you're going to need to have it towed to a shop for a repair anyway. Still, you'd be surprised what you can figure out and fix with the right information.
