Alignment shop NW Indiana
As the title says I am looking for a good alignment shop in northwest Indiana, I am getting new tires next week as I have the front inside wear bug and they are still the original tires,, I don't track or road race just a spirited cruiser, I have the 03 50th vert manual if that matters. I bought the tires, Continental extreme contact sport non run flats from tire rack in South bend.they will do the install but don't do alignments, thanks as always

Any Discount Tire or Tire Discounters will do OEM spec alignments.
Otherwise Danny Popp at McCluskey Chevrolet is in Cincinnati for OEM and performance alignments....anything Corvette related really.

9.99 or so, probably should have gotten the one time but it was around $119.99 or so.
Can get alignment every 6 months for life.
They did a good job, and it's the first alignment my car has had.
My only complaint is the alignment guy took my car on a very long test drive, half hour to 45 minutes, I was hoping he wasn't out driving the **** out of it.
I should have insisted to ride along, but I didn't know there was going to be a test drive until I asked the guy at the desk where my Corvette is, and he said the guy was test driving it.

I'm not in Indiana, but you could ask if a Firestone shop does alignments, bought new Firestone Indy 500 tires on a sale with rebate, also had my Corvette aligned, I ended up buying the lifetime alignment plan for something like $179.99 or so, probably should have gotten the one time but it was around $119.99 or so.

And over the year I have had PLENTY due to suspension changes etc.

IMHO, the best 'shop' to do a C5 alignment is one that is considered an expert in C5's repairs. Suggest contacting the local Corvette club to find out what 'shop' they would recommend.

Thanks my trusted mechanic doesn't do alignments, the place I have gone local with my other cars I wasn't overly impressed nor dissatisfied. The corvette club is a good idea. Maybe I'm just overthinking it too?

I'm from NJ so I can't recommend a shop, but I agree with asking a Corvette club or a trusted performance shop nearby. I went to ECS recently and asked if they did tires and alignments. They do not, but they gave me the name of a shop down the road that does their tire and alignment jobs for them. I was very pleased with their work. They had just finished up an alignment on a C6 Corvette before my C5 had it's turn. I was very pleased they took the time to do a full alignment, not just a quick front toe-and-go.
