Find your local mechanic/porsche specialist

I recently bought my first Boxster... 2002 S with 80k miles and Beeeeautiful... Guess what?... the rear wheel bearings went.

[after stumbling upon this forum] I understand that's common so I was cool with the situation.

I thought about tackling the job but a friend said he has a "great mechanic" who works on porsche, vw, etc...

I'll spare you the many details but the remaining issues are...

1. ABS light... He suggests I bring it to Porsche to reset it ???

2. After sending me home the first time with an "eyeballed" alignment... (I almost rolled the freakin thing over when I got to 60 mph.)

I finally got the car back... seems ok but I notice the steering wheel is turned about 5 degrees to the left when going straight...

I know I should go back and politely ask him WTF? but I'm done with this dude as I don't believe his word anymore...

My question is... what do you guys think about my off-line steering wheel (of course it's driving me nuts) and can I drive it like that for a while or should I get it fixed asap? ($$$)

Thanks.
