All tires locked, tranny blown

Three days ago my sons transmission died, it was a recently purchased re built tranny, that's not the biggest problem right this second, when the tow truck came to get the car, they found that ALL 4 tires were locked. The man with the rollback had to drag the car up onto the truck and then when the got to the garage they had to grease the rollback, tilt it up slowly to drop the car onto the ground! This happened in KY. And the tranny HAS a warranty BUT in ohio, I would love to get the tires rolling b/c the towing bill is gonna be murder and they're are cheaper methods to get it back to ohio so the transmission can be replaced. Thank you!
