Mechanic implied he couldn't fix job and thought we should not drive vehicle to destination. Recommended towing to Honda Dealer.  Javiers Odyssey towed to home in Sacramento (147 mi) on AAA Plus Card and CC.  Believe Odyssey incurred damage to tire and leak while on road from Briceburg and McCabe Flat.  Looking for partial reimbursement from ICO for 47 mi tow.
