Default CV Axle Help

I have a CV that went out last night, and I need to have it rebuilt or replaced for an alignment tomorrow, and a trip on Sunday.
Where can I get one quick, or what places rebuild them on the spot?

Replace the whole axle. go to autozone. buy it. install it. and MAKE SURE you bring ur old one back to the autozone to get about 30 bucks back for the core

I removed the axle and brought it to a small shop in Montral, Canada. Took them maybe 30min from the time i gave it to them till i had it back in my hands.
