My question, is it best to have the dealer do major/ minor repair or should I go to a foreign repair shop ?

No simple reply.
Replace the alternator? Charge the AC? Sure, any shop should be able to do that. You may want to talk to the local shop about it. Stop in for an oil change and ask about their experience with cars like yours.

Computer related issues? You may do better with the dealer that has the equipment and programs.

You mention foreign repair shops. Do they still exist? So many cars with foreign labels are built in the US and US brands built in Mexico, is there such a thing? Unlike 1962, all shops have metric wrenches now.
