Allentown area mechanic needed

I'm in the Allentown area & need a mechanic that knows Mini's. My alternator pulley broke, coolant boils over when it gets a little warm outside & have a clunking noise in the rear suspension when I go over uneven road & bumps. I have the parts but too much labor involved for a diy project. Not to mention my back can't handle all that hunching over the car. A shop or professional mechanic looking for side work is fine with me.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the referrals. Someone referred me to Mike Marza the other day & he came out to my house to replace my alternator. Not too many mechanics willing to make house calls especially on the weekend during a pandemic!
What would have taken me 2-4 weeks took him all 1.5hrs from the time he pulled up to him going home. I'm glad I decided to look for a mechanic that specializes in Mini's!

Do you mind sending me a private message with Mike Marza's number?
