Steer clear of Stropes.Do a search,you'll find plenty of negative feedback.

I would make the drive to Rapid if I was in PA.

You won't regret going to Rapid. Just outside of Reading.

I can't say anything about Rapid either way never used 'em. The first part is true however. I don't even consider them mechanics myself. More like con artists. That's from firsthand experience. j/m .02.

Also from my own personal experience some 6 years ago (the only time I've ever used them) you couldn't bring them the parts you wanted put on you had to buy your parts from them. And they mark them up a healthy penny. Plus well overpriced on labor also.
