Default Alignment shops in St. Louis?

Anyone here from St. Louis and know of any good shops that can do the correct wheel alignment for a 1980?

Bill,

Are you handy with tools? If so, you may wanna have a try at aligning your own. Here's a good site to get started... http://www.duntovmotors.com/tech-alignment.php

I live near Arnold and the firestone in Arnold is a pretty decent alignment shop.

Try GDS 4x4 (618-288-7470) in Maryville, IL (just east of St. Louis). They have been doing all of my vehicles including the vette. PM me for any details.

Thanks,

Tony - I am OK with tools but an alignment seems like somthing I would want a professional to do.

442 - I had my tires done at Firstone in Chesterfield and they said they did not have the equipment or know how to do it and said I should take it to a GM dealer. I might call them though it a lead...

Mako - I will keep them in mind but Maryville is pretty far away as I am west of Eureka in Robertsville.

Anyone know of anywhere out west by me?

Trenary in St Charles (94 and K) did mine. They've got 1 tech there that's very familiar with C3s.

Dont recall, I had a few other things done too. But for 4 wheel, it wasn't bad.
