Default Philly Mechanic Help

Hey guys,
I have an engine issue, a vibration at low speeds and I've been doing all common and simple maintenence but I'm not comfortable to dive into the engine....

Does anyone know of any good indy shops around or outside of Philly? I'm in the Horsham area.....

Thanks!!!

Frank is the owner. good guy Master Mechanic trained out of West Chester Rover.
Tell him Jeff sent you the guy with the black disco/photographer.

Used to be called Rover Repair, but LRNA has a strangle hold on anyone using the word Rover in their name. So now it is R&R Repair not sure if he has changes it online yet or not.

There's another place called Skytop that's off of Delaware Ave near Sugarhouse Casino. They do great work and have fair prices.

I also recommend Frank. Tell him Eric with the Black DII sent you (the one with the cracked flex plate). I'm up for inspection end of the month so, I'll be visiting him in a week or two.

Vibration at low speeds may be the drive shafts.
Just grease them with a grease gun.

If your check engine light is on then you can scan out the codes to at least have knowledge of what you need done.

jfall- I thought that too but it vibrates even when started and not moving. It also will stop usually when I'm coasting too.....

Do you have any codes? Check your engine and transmission mounts. also have a look at your roto flex.

Crawl underneath and inspect your motor mounts.
At the moment, both my driver and passenger side mounts are destroyed. The engine vibrates at idle and what also happened is my catyalitic converter/y-pipe shifted causing it to rub up against the front prop shaft.

I have a thread on here with pictures. I'll try to find the link and post back.

Check you engine mounts.
