Jim:
The only shop that I would absolutely trust in the Harrisburg area is Mount
Joy Auto Works. This is in Mount Joy, about 22 miles east of Harrisburg off
of Route 283 E. Tony Corrado is the owner. He did the body work on my TR6
and is currently doing the same on my TR3 restoration. He does this on the
side since the garage is a standard repair and service shop. He is very
honest and will go out of his way to help people out. The shop's telephone
number is 717-653-8870. You can give him my name as to how you heard of him.
Also, you can buy a dolly at a good price at The Tool Shed. This is about
18 miles outside of Harrisburg. You need to get on 283 East going toward
Lancaster. Take 283 East and get off at Toll House Road. This is the exit
that is right after you enter the single lane construction zone. Take the
ramp to the stop sign and turn right. You will come to a "T", which is
route 230. Turn left here and continue on 230 toward Elizabethtown. You
will come down a steep hill, with Saturday's Market on your left. The Tool
Shed is about a 1/2 mile further on your right. They usually have the
dollies and trailers sitting out front.
If I can be of any other help, my phone numbers are 717-367-8574 (h) and
717-671-7190 (w).

Subject: Repairs around Harrisburg PA?
Sorry for the non-LBC content here.
I have a colleague here (Ottawa, Canada) whose van quit in Harrisburg PA, on
their way back from a vacation in Florida. They believe it needs a new
motor, I
don't know the technical details. She is having a rough time with U-Haul
(there's a surprise) renting a dolly to bring it back as they first: want to
rent her a truck to go with it, even though they have accesss to a large
truck
themselves, and second: don't want her to cross the border, and third: want
$1500.
I suggested getting it repaired there as a possibility, but naturally they
don't know where to take it.
Can anyone around that area offer any suggestions? These people are really
stuck. It's a late 90s GM passenger van (TranSport) with a 6; she thinks a
3.8
litre.
Either a good transport method or a safe place to get it repaired but I
guess
they would prefer the former.
Actually a third possibility I suppose would be to buy their own dolly and
sell
it when they get back - are there good sources for those in the US?
Many thanks,
Jim Wallace
