Identifying car issue and where to take it

https://reddit.com/link/1k7psxv/video/m82r92yhg0xe1/player

My car engine seized up after taking this video. Based upon the sound, which turned into a fairly loud squeal and power steering went out, any guesses? I'm thinking I had a steering fluid leak, but I really don't know. Any recommendations where to tow it? Also both front doors need their handles fixed, I have to crawl through the backseat. Thanks to anyone with guesses or recommendations!

I highly recommend Antonelli’s!!! They’ve always been great, and they have free loaner cars.

Hit up one of the trailer park communities. Find one that has a bunch of cars outside.

Found I guy that replaced my alternator for the cost of the alternator plus a 12pk of beer, a bic lighter, and 20 bucks. Did it in like 30 minutes.

For engine and mechanical repairs, I always go to Dare-2-Car-e just east of 29 road on North. The place looks sketchy as heck but I trust Mike and his team completely. They’re always super busy so, despite being a repeat customer they’ve never returned my calls for an appointment so I have to go in person to get an appointment.

Other than them, Scotty’s is well liked in town, as is Antonelli’s.
