Default Engine Shops in the PA area?

Hey guys,

I was driving my brother's corolla home yesterday from MD to NJ when i broke down in Philly due to a harmonic balancer and notched crankshaft.

Long story short, car is in Philly busted and sad at Pepboys, and I was curious if anyone had a good engine shop in the area of Richmond Ave/Alleghaney Ave/Aramingo Ave. Preferably 3 mile radius cause of AAA, but farther is ok.

I don't know if we would even get the crankshaft fixed or get a new engine because of the mileage and year of the car, but if someone has a good engine shop that won't quote me a ridiculous sum for the repair work or engine replacement, we may go for it.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

not sure of any off the top of my head but check out tristatetuners.com. its a local board for the tri-state area and there are a ton of vendors on there that do all types of things. im sure someone on that board can point you to a good shop.

its cheaper to get a new complete motor then to rebuild the one you have.
