One way I have found that works sometimes is to have the person on the tele phone around what they think are suitable repair facilities with a list of questions pertinent to your issue. When we had a trans issue bringing the Clasco back from FL we were 200 miles south of Manny. The towing agent said he had several qualified transmission shops nearby. I asked him to call each one and ask how many gM425 transmissions they had rebuilt within the last ten years. About three hours later he called back and said they would pay for the 200 mile trip to Manny. He exclaimed that no one he had called had ever rebuilt one of these..... Enough said, even for him trying to save his employer a buck or two.

Thanks Ken. That's what I was wondering about. Only AAA offers a defined radius of 100 miles per day. There are a few shops between Tupelo and the Coop I'd trust, but that's just me. I struggled with Good Sam getting them to go 10 extra miles, so Allstate certainly did a better job than they would have. CoachNet gave me no problems about going 30 miles past their "preferred" provider, but I'm not sure if they would have gone 380+ miles!
