$189 for an alignment??????
Just got quoted $189 to align my 91 to my specs. Told the guy to pound sand and walked.
Where can I get an alignment in the Bay Area to my specs for a reasonable price?

Wow, really? I guess what set me off was the guy saying that it's $109 but to use my specs instead of stock it's "custom work" so it's automatically $189. It's the same adjustments they'd make anyways, just to a different set of numbers. Pisses me off when they try to screw people like that.

Firestone. Maybe $150.00 and that's for a lifetime as long as you own the vehicle.

Ya but will they take the time to get the numbers wanted. The life long warranty is nice though.
Although I found out one time that any change to the suspension voids this lifetime perk...tire/rim size, shocks, lowering etc.

The Alignment Shop in Fairfield.
$75 for all 4 wheel alignment. The owners name is Gary and he has worked on tons of vettes.
Gary align my Z when I had it lower on the stock bolts.

I send a lot of Vettes to Gary and he always does them perfect. He does all the local track guys for us and his prices can't be beat.
