Default Stuck in PA - 2+hrs from home

Problem = got to a stoplight on my way home from the Poconos in PA to my home in the Finger Lakes NY. Car shut off and would not start again. It would crank over but would not start. After a 30min wait it started with the check engine light on, then shut off again after a minute. So at least I have a code to diagnose, but I am 2+ hrs away without by OBD reader and no tools. Figured I am stuck, so I got a tow to the local garage and a ride back home. Garage called a day later and said they can not figure out how to connect to the computer to diagnose the code = OMG. I would rather figure this issue out on my own but the car is hours away.

Question = Is there a suggested garage to go to in the Gouldsboro, PA area? The car is at Schlier's Towing-Carey's Garage. I looked at the sticky regarding garages but did not find anything in PA. I figure I have to tow the car to another garage and worst case the nearest dealer is Mercedes-Benz of Wilkes-Barre. Gonna cost me.

sounds like a bad crank position sensor, i can get one overnighted to you or you can try to find one locally today. 10 minute fix.

I just ordered a cam shaft position sensor for my SRT6 on your web site. It's worth the chance and I will probably need one as a spare in the future anyhow.
