My exhaust has dropped halfway under the car (not at the end). I have a mechanic which I use at home which is 20 minutes away. Am I okay to drive it home so he can fix it for me or do I need to get the AA out?

Hello, I'm Danny.

It won't cause any damage to the vehicle but it might trip the check engine light. If you can try to secure the exhaust pipe with metal bailing wire or rope to keep it from dragging on the ground. You will be okay to drive that small amount of miles.Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
