What should I say about car trouble?

I had an interview two weeks ago and accepted a job i put in my two week notice at my old one and tomorrow was my start date. Well just my luck my alternator goes out on my only vehicle today and I got it in the garage but it’s gonna be a week before I can get it fixed. I tried calling hr today but they’re out for Labor Day. What should I call in the morning and say? Should I ask them if I can start next Monday? I feel so embarrassed. I’m not really sweating it cause I can go back to my old job if she says no but I really want this job and it’s a 60 mile commute and weird hours so I can’t get anyone to take me. Advice?
