Car trouble

So, I've been without my car since the Friday before last. The ignition decided to go out and, so far, it hasn't cooperated with the people that were working on it and it's still not fixed. I had called a mechanic yesterday and basically set up and appointment to bring it in today, but when I got home, she decided that she really didn't feel like shifting into gear, so that didn't happen. Hopefully my mom can catch the mechanic in the morning and have him tow the car to his garage where he (crosses fingers) should have whatever tools/supplies necessary to fix her.
