Default Need help ASAP

Tonight when I was on my way to pick my wife up from base, my car decided to blow coolant all over the road. It's parked in a parking lot now. Anyone know of any shops that would take a look at it and not charge me an arm and leg? Or if anyone would like to help me with it? I could pay you for the help. I just can't work on it where I live and I don't have any of my tools or anything as they're still in TN. As it sits right now, I don't believe it's driveable. So it would most likely need towed. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's my DD.
My number is 731-445-5130 if you want to help. Text's are the quickest way to reach me.
The car and I are both in Savannah, Georgia.
Thanks guys,

Tarpley

(This is how it happened.) I was driving down the road and smelled the coolant first. Didn't think it was me due to all the beaters driving around. But I looked out back when I left the stoplight and there was a trail of coolant following me. I pulled into a parking lot, by this time the temp was around 220-230 so I cut it off. (The fans were on and it had NEVER been that high before) I got out and popped the hood and saw that all of my accessories were covered in coolant. I checked under the car (well as far as I could stick my head) and I could see coolant just steadily dripping down my air dam. Let it sit for a few minutes, then rolled the car backwards. There was a big puddle of coolant where my car used to be. I'm in Savannah, GA for anyone who got confused by the initial post. Just moved down here a few weeks ago.
