Sorry to hear about the problems. Sucks to say the least. Looks like you have two options barring finding a competent mechanic where you are stranded. First would be to find a repair shop that would be willing to work on the SPG expanding your search to the next closest large cities. Not sure if there is a place in Jackson though I know of one place in New Orleans where my son took his Saab for repair. Not sure which way you are headed? That of course will require a tow and the $$$ add up quick.
The other option, and the one I would suggest, is to head to the nearest U-haul or Penske truck rental location and rent the smallest truck/auto transport you can find. Load up the SPG and keep heading West. Assuming you are maybe passing through CO, call ahead to one of the many Saab shops in Denver etc. Roll in with the car, get it fixed, have them do a thorough check over and be on your way.
Other then those two options or finding someone to repair your car where you are at, your left with flying home and having a tramsporter pick up the car and bring it back to PA.
If it were me, I would head to U-haul or Penske, get the truck/trailer and be on my way.
Good luck!!
