(In general, not being from Detroit) If you do happen to find someone versed in Scorpios, excellent, but it may not be necessary. It largely depends on what you need fixed. The motor and trans are from North American cars. Any tire place can do alignments. I've found anyone that can work on a/c units isn't afraid of this car. Electrics are unique, but really not difficult. Just make sure you own a factory service book. And ask questions here if you get stuck.

Electrics are unique is an understatement.
