I have been having a couple of issues with my bass trombone recently and would like to send my horn to get fixed. I would normally take it up to Dillons to be fixed but I cannot take the time to do so for at least 2 months. What are some places to do so around Philadelphia?

Issues being linkage heads are worn out, slow tuning slides, and I would like a general cleaning done.

If you don't mind the drive out to Amish country, I highly recommend http://www.seacatmusic.com/Home.php

Curtis does incredible work and his prices are fantastic.

Particular (since not mentioned in your post) if the playing slide needs NO work done to it, you could consider bubble-wrapping the crap out of the bell section (so-as you could drop it on the floor from waist-high, and do no damage), and ship-or-mail it to someone who could get to it fairly quickly...whether that's Dillon or someone else. Oh yeah: If you consider this, I mean REALLY bubble-wrap the bell section like crazy, and ship it in a carton and NOT in the case.
