Default Minneapolis MN Area alignment shops??

Hey just throwing a question out there. My C4 is due for an alignment this spring and I have yet to find a good shop in the area that i would trust do a good job on the alignment.

It would be even better if i could just find a place that would just let me "rent" time with their alignment rack but i know that is asking for a miracle!

does anyone know of a good shop in the Minneapolis area?

Thanks in advance all!

While I haven't had the Vette there, I used a recommended installer from TireRack to install winter tires on my Maxima and align it. It's the Goodyear store over by Southdale on 66th Street. They didn't booger up the rims installing the tires, and the alignment seems fine - I wouldn't hesitate to go back there.

Ray at Twin Cities Tire on Lyndale Ave in Bloomington was recommended to me when I needed some work done on our '78 TransAm and he did a great job on it. I haven't had either of the Vettes there (yet) but he'll be the first one I call when the time comes.

Larry or Mike at Corvette Specialties may know of a place or two to recommend.

Hey all,

So I took my Vette to Twin Cities Tire and was very impressed with the work they did. the car is stellar handling now, better than ever.

Kevin ended up doing the actual alignment, he worked with me on getting the non-stock settings i wanted set.

I dropped the car off at 7:30 and they where done by 9:00. the only charged $110 for the work.

to top it all off they gave me a loner vehicle so could get to work.

all in all, i will be recommendeding them again!
