Syracuse, New York area MVS members, do you have any independent mechanic shops you can recommend for a probable wheel bearing job? College daughter and the '97 850 are 350 miles away and could use a little advice. PM or post here with any ideas? Thank you!

If she can limp it to Ithaca Dave Brumstead at Ithaca Foreign car service is solid.

Euro car select in Waterloo patched up my RaceBeetle for one hour labor.

Is she growling or spitting bearings? They will growl for 10-20k miles

….just drove by her two hours ago. If she is going up to North creek weekends, have her drop the car off and grab one of my fleet and I can swap that

Thannks Abscate. She is going to call Ithaca in the morning to see what's up. I asked her to see about the FAG bearing and the 9492980 Volvo wheel seal as well. THanks for the recos!

Is Geneva Foreign Sports still around ? I think they moved from Geneva to Route 14 ad the Swiss taxes were too high
