Alignment shop
Where do you guys go to get your cars aligned?
I did a diy alignment watching corvette hops youtube video but want to get it fine tuned.
I am based out of Boise, Idaho (if anyone near happens to read this).
Thanks.

I used a local tire shop "Tire Proz" in WI across the border from me. Look online for local shops that do alignment, and then TALK TO THEM to see if they have anyone on staff who does classics - specifically Corvettes. There might be 5 shops who offer the service, but only one with someone experienced on older stuff. This shop I have used before, and they have ONE older gentleman on staff who knows the older cars and knew what to do with my C3.
They have to have the patience to not take any shortcuts, especially if you have replaced trailing arms etc. like I did. I paid for extra shop time as well, as if they need to re-shim the trailing arms they may need to remove wheels, reinstall, and reinstall and reset their machinery with each change in shims. It was worth the money and time, though, as it's done right.
