You have a great sense of humor. I wouldn't let a mechanic in brooklyn open the fuel door on my car. The best car many of them have seen will be something like a 1996 crown vic. Ttake the belt parkway (or the LIE whichever is closer to you) and bring the car to a shop in long island.

The shop I normally go out to is on LI ... I just don't feel like taking a trip to the island for something as simple as an alignment.

If you don't mind taking the trip out to NJ we staff (2) Certified Porsche Technicians, and perform quite a bit of suspension & track setup!

If you don't mind drive to NJ, great shop on RT 46 (Elite Motors). Used them last week. It's about 15-20 from GWB or if you take NJ TPK, will be about 30-40 from Brooklyn .

I'll look into it , just really wish there was a decent "boutique" Porsche shop in the area that I could trust.

Seems like it's not financially viable to get a shop around here so most are on the island of jersey.

The demographic just isn't there, despite the 2.6m people. The people with money in brooklyn are left wing communists who hate cars and would outlaw them if they could.

It's a fair assessment lol ... But I still think it boils down to rent prices are just too high to make it work.... The only high end P car shop I can think of in Queens is Formula Motorsport in LIC... Tyrol Sport (queens) is excellent and has done some work for me on my previous RS4.
