^Before driving it anywhere, check the specifics of any towing coverage your insurance might provide. If you don't have coverage, or you have some minimal coverage (e.g. 10 miles worth or something), often you can purchase extra coverage, and cancel it later. Or buy separate AAA coverage that does the same. Bottom line is make sure you have enough towing coverage to get from point A to B in case the car craps out on the way to the shop you're going to bring it to.
Like the others have said, you'll want the shop to systematically check out the car's electrical systems & wiring and fix whatever is broken. You'll probably want them to replace the old coils given their age.
