Anyone recommend a good place to send off injectors with 30K miles for cleaning and testing please.

Unless you're having symptoms, injectors can go well over 100,000 miles befoe you need to worry much about them.

I would have no idea where to find a good shop in PA but my advice would be to call a couple of respectable looking outfits that maintain commercial diesels. Most commercial diesel operations send injectors out to be rebuilt and they should be able to refer you to a reputable operation.

What makes you believe your injectors need cleaning? What car?
