Default Alignment Shops

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a reputable alignment shop in the Baltimore/DC area? I recently put new rubber on my girlfriend's 92(LT1) Coupe and would like to get it aligned.

thanks everyone,

Mr. Tire has the latest Hunter equipment. Check with them for the locations that use the new equipment.

tony's corvette shop in gaithersburg should be able to help. their website is http://www.tonyscorvetteshop.com not sure on the price though. They tend to be on the high side but their work/customer service is excellent. You can trust them with your car.

I've used MECHANIX Auto Repair in Woodbridge, VA (703) 491-0430 (Owner Donnie Moore) with good results. He will provide you with a computer printout detailing all alignment settings. The price was reasonable as well.

tony gets my vote..BUT... he actually subs the work out to a local shop.

He DOES supervise (i think) and makes sure everything is up to snuff.

I have a reciept from sept 99 with alignment settings... from ..Automasters Inc. Gaithersburg Md.7605 Airport Rd..301-926-3335

At some point after that Tony moved into his new shop, and I have a alignment sheet from Dec-2000 that indicates he did the alignment himself.

I swear.. I dont remember seeinf an alignment machine in his shop.

either way... there are 2 contacts.. :yesnod:

Absolutely & Positively the ONLY place who gets to touch my Corvettes other than me is Tony's Corvette. And he will stand behind anything he does 100%. :D Plus he's just a totally cool straight forward no games kinda guy.

They do their own engine work there AND alignment stuff. He farms out some of the High $$ Frame off Restoration NCRS / Bloomington stuff to other shops, but the major mechanical and suspension stuff is done on site. I'll be taking my C3 in there Tuesday (I have an appt) for a 4 wheel alignment / balancing. They've got one of those trick new 4 wheel alignment things in the new shop. ~Juliet

Gentlemen, thanks for the replies I will give Tony a call, although it might be to far for her to go. The car is her daily driver and I don't know if she can take that much time from work or be without the car for that long. Eitherway thank you for you input. This forum is the best thing to happen to the Corvette since Carlisle. :yesnod:

He's a short hop from the Metro and someone from the shop will give her a ride to Metro for pickup / dropoff if you ask. Call ahead and schedule it in and if it's not too involved he'll do it while you wait. But don't expect to just show up and wait, you need to schedule that in advance to make sure he's got the mechanice / equipment available. Tony's very accomodating with daily drivers if you call him in advance. :yesnod: ~Juliet
