I already got the battery checked, and they said it was good, 100% charged, so im assuming its my starter cause i hear a clicking noise, but i need to get my car to my mechanic... is there anyway i can get it started without calling a tow truck? And where is the starter located at?
 
your starter will be where the engine and the transmission join together not sure which side of the engine that it is on, But it should be fairly easy to spot. It is the long round thing with a hand full of wires and the positive battery cable hooked up to it.

Just crawl under the car and tap the starter with a hammer. This may jar it loose and make the starter able to turn over the engine. If this works then your will need a new starter it should not cost that much to fix.
