Good question. I have to get an alignment too because I just dropped the Z
to the ground.

Courtesy just did mine and they didn't scratch my wheels at all. Mike Guerrero took care of me, and he actually knows a lot about the cars.

I had good luck at a Firestone on 1960 near Champion Forest. I gave them the specs and the guy did a good job.

I went to Bill Heard when Mike Guerrero was there and they did an awesome job and they allowed me to watch every move they made. Which is important to me when someone touches my Z! :thumbs:

I would never go back there after my last experience. The rudest I think I've ever been treated anywhere. :nonod:

I wish I can say the same thing about Bill Heard Chevrolet and Mike Guerrero when he was there few years ago as a shop foreman.

They refuse to work on my fuel-gauge problem because my car had nitrous installed. :rolleyes: And the refusal came after they put over 100 miles on it. :mad :mad :mad

Dont go to COH. The clamps WILL scratch your wheels. Also, if the car is very low it will have a hard time getting onto the machine. I would suggest Jamail's at 1960 and 45. Ask for David, he has done all our cars perfectly, numerous times.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give David a shot when I'm due.

Joe,

Talk to Vince (store mgr) at Discount Tire on Hwy 6 near Austin Pwky intersection and tell him about your concerns. I think he can help you. They are very much sports car minded there I believe. They also have a Hunter GSP-9700 (I am not sure I got the number right) balancing machine for those that think they need it. He made me a deal last summer on the Goodyear F1SCs that made it worth while rather than buying from Tire Rack.

GOLD72 :cheers:
