Broken Suspension
Yesterday night, I was off roading and long story short, I hit a dip. I ended up blowing my front suspensions out and had to be pulled out by my buddy. My truck still runs but the frame of the truck is sitting on top of my two front wheels (since the suspensions are broken in half). So when I try and drive it, it makes a really harsh sound and you can smell burnt rubber. I got it towed to my house by AAA and the question I have now is:
What should I do now? It's just sitting at my house. Are there mechanics that can fix this sort of wreck at my house? Do I have to get it towed to a nearby repair shop? Any suggestion would help.
Thanks!

I would source out anybody who is able and willing to fix your truck.
Then ask them if they are willing to come to your home to look it over to give you a quote, (cause you don't want to have it towed to each garage for a quote)
Some mechanics aren't gonna want to come to your home, they will want you to bring it to them... it's those mechanics are are willing to help you out by coming to you are the mechanics that deserve you business

You will need to get your truck fixed before driving it again. Since the suspension is broken, it’s not safe to move it on your own. You have two options:
Call a mobile mechanic – Some mechanics can come to your house and fix the suspension. You can check with local mechanics or look online to see if anyone near you offers this service.
Tow it to a repair shop – If you can’t find a mobile mechanic, you’ll need to tow it to a shop that works on suspensions. AAA or a local towing service can help with that.
Check with a few shops to get an idea of the cost. It’s important to get it fixed soon so the damage doesn’t get worse.
