Message	They did an awesome job on my buddy's 944. He claims it's never driven so well. So i decided to give them a call for my car. They only wanted $80 compared to most other places that wanted $90 and up. However, they said they aren't acustomed to doing 4 wheel steering. How important is it to have somebody "know" how to do the ZTT all wheel steering?
