On the other hand at least I know it's good now. My steering wheel was off a few degrees so he corrected that too.

On the local interstate, they have scraped-down the blacktop and put-up the famous "BUMP" signs, at a bridge. Steel of the bridge is still exposed after three weeks. I hope my fronts were not knocked out of line over the weekend. The westbound lane had more of a bump than going the other way. I bumped in a way that makes folks say cuss
words. Hope nothing happened but, I will be watching my tires. And using a different westbound route. Finish the blacktop job... IDIOTS!!!!!

in my experience, if your car has less than 7500 miles, the dealership will do it under warranty, if it's higher then about $65.00 to $75,00 is about normal, but again, find a dealer that does a lot of corvette business or you'll pay in tire costs!

in GM's defense, I've never had any issues with factory alignment on any of the cars that I bought new, which included my C6 , GTO, and Z28. 85K miles on the Z28, 33K miles on the GTO, and 28K miles on the C6...
