I checked with one and they didn't want to touch it. Told me Corvettes were to hard to do. Didn't want to mess with all the shims in the rear end. I have a couple to check with, was just hoping for someone with first hand experience with an alignment shop near here.
Thanks again,
Tom

Are the tires (front or rear) wearing the tread badly?
You could get the front end aligned if only the front tires are wearing.
Read up on DIY String Alignment...its easier than it sounds.

Once you know what needs adjusting, eg front caster / camber / toe. Most shops will do this. Rear camber is also easy to do. Rear Toe is the hard work.

No one will do a better, more thorough job aligning your car than you will. Follow @cagotzmann's directions, and at least get the rear done (with new, stainless shims, as needed).
Please post some photos, too! If a poor alignment attempt was made in the past, there's a good chance your rear strut rod bushings are shot, and perhaps your strut rod is bent, and you'll never get a proper alignment until you address that issue.
