How much to tow a ford escape 2 miles?

My battery died and won't keep a charge with jumping, just changed the battery with a new one over the weekend. I think its the alternator, anyway how much would it cost to tow it 2 miles in long island ny? Also if anyone knows off hand how much it costs to replace and alternator?

Pull the batt and charge it, have it load tested. Drive the 2 miles to get charging system tested. There must be a parts place nearby that has the testers and the know how. 75% of the techs I went to school with were from NY. They passed most of them. You need a few wrenches and a ratchet 8mm socket and extension. And a wire brush for battery posts. They sell that stuff cheap at parts houses now. At least they do everywhere around here.

Ever thought of calling a couple of places that provide towing? Better than us guessing.

$75 to $80.
a new alt.$250.00 you may also need a new battery now also.
