| Cruiser Mechanics in SouthCentral PA/Harrisburg area?
Quick question for some of the Right Coasters: can anyone recommend some good Land Cruiser mechanics/garages in the Harrisburg/Carlisle area of Pennsylvania? For things I may not want to tackle myself, I need to placate the wife that there's a knowledgeable place to take it to get it fixed . . . besides this forum!
Thanks!

| That's totally not fair Todd.
I insist that you have the next tech meeting for the OH crew at your house!
Oh, per the original question:
Cruiser specific people:
Jim C in Columbus, OH
Jose Rivera in Montclair, NJ
Lance Williams in Fredricksburg, VA
Also, your local LC guys.
Hell, come on out to OH. I'm always looking for different 80 series rigs to wrench on.

| I'm also in the Harrisburg area. So far I've just let my local mechanic work on it. I hear there's a guy who specializes in toyotas in the grantville area on rt. 743. I don't know his name off hand, but it might be worth checking into. Maybe I'll see you around.

| I did follow the advice and also posted over in the local LC forum for my neck of the woods . . . waiting to get some info there, too! Thanks for all the generous offers of help--you guys are amazing.
Koffer--a lift? drooooool . . . where do you get these marvelous toys? In comparison to you, I've got a Bob the Builder HandyMan Toolbox--the yellow plastic screwdrivers kick butt! "Can we break it? Yes we can!"
beno--thanks for the invite, but I'm not sure how the, "Honey, let's drive to Ohio to fix the Cruiser!" discussion would go. I will definitely remember the offer, though! If you have good mountain biking nearby, I might be able to talk her into it. For some fun PM project or mod, taking the rig somewhere to wrench with other cruiserheads would be a blast.
mikemaster--grantville sounds intriguing since I already take my Passat to Lebanon for service. Will you be at the meeting at ABC this month? I'm thinking of going to learn by beermosis. | |
