How many of you have pulled the steering lock fuse?

So I'm confused. I think I'm getting conflicting comments here, but I may just be misunderstanding.

Surfdog are you saying that the idea of putting in the altima lock, getting the car into ACC, and pulling the fuse won't work?

And Baer and SouthArk are saying that it should work?

If it should work, then I'm going to push back on them with this idea.

I'd really like to not have to tow my car to another shop

If they have already replaced the SLU, just follow one of the procedures for removing the fuse.
You have to have a SLU installed, with working electronics and the microswitches in the proper position, for anything to work. Once the locking pin is retracted and the microswitches are correct, you can remove the fuse. This will disable the motor that drives the locking pin and switches. With the pin in the retracted/unlocked position, the system is happy - it doesn't look for a transition from locked to unlocked.
