Default Alignment Recommendations in St. Louis?

Tried this in the Regional forum with no response so hopefully someone here can help . . .

Anyone have a good shop they would recommend for an alignment? I just lowered my car a few days ago and I would like to have the alignment checked. Thanks in advance.

There's an alignment shop on Hwy 94 North, by Fast Lane. I believe the sign says Alignment Specialists. I haven't used them but have heard good things about them. That's probably where I'll go when I need an alignment.

if they use a hunter machine, you might want to bring some boards with you so you can get it on the machine.

my car dragged trying to get on the machine and they had to jack the back end up to get it over the center of the car.

Try ELCO chevy on manchester rd they have one of the best corvette techs around and he does alot of work on the side but i dont know if he has his own hunter machine but he might be the one that does it at ELCO if not I am sure he will over see everything that is going on with your car.
If i can find his name i will post it for you later.

I've heard good things about Elco Chevy too. Maybe check with one of the Corvette Clubs - try Original Corvette Club of St. Louis or Boone Trail Corvette Club.
