Default C5 4 wheel alignment

Does anyone know a good place for alignment work? Im between Hartford and New haven. Called one place and they wanted $275 bucks. I thought 4 wheel alignments were around $125.?

Have you checked with the folks in the Northeast regional section of the Forum? Some of them may be of more help. Good luck.

Although NJ is not close to you, I took my C5 to a Goodyear Auto Center in August and paid $113.35 for a 4 wheel alignment. That included an additional $6 charge for some wood planks they purchased to get my car on the alignment machine (to prevent the nose from hitting)

You can search for Goodyear Service Centers on their website at: http://www.goodyeardealers.com/

The shop I went to (Youngs Tire, Cabot Ark.) it didn't matter what my ride height was, as long as there was enough adjustment to get the alignment with in spec's. Their computerized lazer alignment machine was amazing and I had them align to spec's from this forum not to stock. Imho, I don't see where ride height in your situation should be a problem.
