Pennsylvania Shop Recommendations

I live in Central PA - west of State College.

I have a 1979 930 that needs the Brake Master Cylinder replaced.

I am looking for a competent shop between - say - Harrisburg to Pittsburgh.

I always did things myself - but just don't have time.

Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Jeb
'79 930

You may not have time, but driving it to a shop, getting alternate transportation, and going back to pick it up will take even longer.

And let me ask the obvious question: how do you know that the MC needs replacing?

State College/Harrisburg/Camphill area.. I would would have to say that
Aircooled Racing over in Wellsville is your best bet based on locality. Owner passed away last year and the celebrated him at the Carlisle (Hershey) swap last year cause he's been around and support the Porsche community so long. Son and other family members now running the business

I can second the recommendation for Aircooled Racing. Derek replaced the fuel lines in my '78 SC last year. Great guys there!
