Although they concentrate on Volvos, Ithaca Foreign Car Service had top-notch mechanics when I lived in T-burg. One owned an Alfa GTZ, which should tell you something. They will probably tell you that they won't work on a 928, but whatever they tell you will be a straight answer. Tell them Martin who used to own RiderSport sent you, and if they remember, they are the old (and very good) guys.

Thank you very much Guys. I went to AJ Foreign auto for my alignment and they scraped the bottom of my car while putting on the rack and only adjusted the toe on the front and rear(Camber and caster still out and no explanation). Asked them if they worked on 928's and didn't get much of a positive response. Martin, I remember Rider Sport! Now owned by Todd Winkleblack (Winks Body Shop), and before that Tim Miller. I remember the previous owner before Tim , and I think his name was Tim also. Roger, Smithtown Is about 5 hours away out on Long Island. If I ever go to Deer Park for training I'll have to take my car. If he's good it'll be worth it. Thank you so much for your suggestions. It's nice for you guys to share your knowledge.

Notice I did NOT recommend AJ! Glad you remember RS- I and a partner opened that shop in January 1971, glad to see it still going, even though without the Guzzi's, Nortons, and CZ's...
