Fort Wayne, IN Alignment Shop?
Greetings All,
I will be starting the front suspension rebuild on my '78 L-48 in a couple of weeks. I have a lot of tooling and I feel like I'm pretty good to go, especially with all of the amazing advice and info I've been able to read on this forum!
I am located in Fort Wayne, IN and I am looking for any recommendations people might have for a good alignment shop here in town. I've contacted a few places that I have heard good things about (Preferred Auto SW, Fox & Fox)...but none of the people I've talked to own a classic car!
If anyone has any recommendations for or warnings against any shops in Fort Wayne, I would really appreciate the heads-up!
Thanks - as always!
Brian

Awesome - thanks for the heads-up! I was planning on Fox & Fox, but since I live so close (.5 miles) I stopped out and talked to a couple of guys over at Preferred Auto on Illinios Rd last night to see what they were all about. They told me that a few car clubs bring them their business, and they have a few techs that are totally comfortable on classics. The guy definitely seemed to know what he was talking about. He quoted me $45 for front only - $65 for four-wheel, shims extra - unless I bring my own (which I already bought a set). I got a good feeling there so I think I may give them a try since they're basically just around the corner from me. I'll let you know how it goes...probably be in about a month.

it sounds like you are just around the corner from me i am on hwy 14.preferred auto prices sound good .if they have done corvettes before ,then they should do a fine job.have heard other shops bitch about how hard they are.thats not were you want to go.others like to put there corvette tax on it.if you go to the dealer [summit] they are higher priced but give a 10 percent discount to corvette club members.the corvette club holds there meeting there each month.
